Francia Raisa has had to face again the question about how her friendship with Selena Gomez to whom she donated a kidney.
Actress Francia Raisa and Disney Channel star Selena Gomez have shared a beautiful friendship and have been very close for 15 years. Both actresses met as children and since then they had been inseparable until last November 2022, when, a controversy arose where it was found that their friendship had deteriorated.
Now, Francia Raisa has had to face several questions about her relationship with Selena after a journalist found her on the street while she was walking her dog in Studio City, a district of Los Angeles. The actress changed the subject every time she asked about the status of her friendship with the singer, she even refused to answer if she would follow her on social networks or if she would repeat the experience of being a donor of organs.
The distance between Selena Gomez and her friend Francia Raisa
Selena Gomez suffers from lupus, a disease that attacks the immune system itself, because of this the Disney Channel actress had problems with her kidney. The friendship between the two actresses was so strong and they were so close that Raisa donated a kidney to Gomez in 2017.
After this gesture, both actresses published photos together on their social networks, boasting of the strength of their friendship. Selena also publicly appreciated the gesture that her friend had had with her. "There are no words to describe how I can thank my precious friend Francia Raisa. She gave me the greatest gift and sacrifice of hers by donating her kidney to me. I am incredibly blessed. I love you so much, sister."
However, five years later, in November 2022, when the actress and singer made a report for 'Rolling Stone magazine on the occasion of the premiere of her documentary 'My Mind and Me' on Apple TV, in which she talked about health mentally, recounted her experience in the fight against depression and anxiety, a conflict began between the two on social networks due to statements made by Gomez.
Selena stated in the report that the "only friend of hers in her industry is Taylor Swift." These words quickly became viral and the networks were filled with users analyzing the relationship of both and positioning themselves on one side or the other. The actress's statements offended Raisa who commented: "Interesting." She immediately stopped following her on social networks.
The singer defended herself against criticism by saying, "I'm sorry for not mentioning everyone I know." Which confirmed the beginning of the deterioration of their friendship.
However, Selena seemed contrite with her choice of words and in March she stated: "I will never, ever, ever be more indebted to one person than I am to France."
From the looks of it, 6 months after the incident, her friendship has not progressed and Francia prefers to avoid talking about Selena and concentrate on her professional projects.
