Singer Selena Gomez (30) and actress Francia Raisa (34) seem to have made up after the strain in their relationship.

In a recent interview, Selena Gomez called Francia Raisa “best friend”. Francia is the one who donated one of her kidneys to Selena in 2017, while Selena was having a serious health problem caused by lupus. Selena and Francia first met during a charity event at a children’s hospital more than 15 years ago. They have been friends ever since.

In the latest share, Selena said: “My best friend, her name is Francia. She once insisted to me that she absolutely had to undergo tests to see if it was suitable for me to donate a kidney to me. That’s what Francia did as soon as she found out that I needed a kidney transplant.

Within 3 days of saying that, she quickly took the test and received the results that she was suitable to donate my kidney. It was one of those warm moments that made me feel like I was being protected by someone else. I know I’m a very lucky person.”

Selena added: “In this world, the person I owe the most to is Francia. The thought of someone who doesn’t think twice, doesn’t take time to consider, but immediately decides that they will donate organs. For me, as long as the test results show that all the factors are consistent, it makes me feel overwhelmed to a degree that is difficult to describe in words.”

Currently, Selena and Francia seem to have a better relationship, but in November 2022, the two sides had a tense period when Selena shared the time of the release of the documentary My Mind And Me made about her life, that she “had only one true friend in the entertainment industry, singer Taylor Swift”. This surprised many people because Francia was also active in American showbiz.

Although Francia Raisa is not as famous as Selena Gomez or Taylor Swift, she is also an artist active in the field of filmmaking in the US. Yet Selena never mentioned Francia once in the documentary or in the side interviews. When on social networks began to appear discussing the relationship between Selena and Francia, Francia did not speak officially.

However, Francia commented below a post quoting Selena’s quote about “the only true friend”: “Interesting!”. This comment shows that Francia herself is also difficult to accept when throughout the documentary, Selena does not say anything about herself and only considers Taylor Swift as the only true friend in the showbiz world. Francia then unfollowed Selena on social media.

Regarding Francia’s reactions at that time, the media – the public paid great attention. Before the scandal broke out, Selena only briefly commented on her personal social network account: “Sorry, I didn’t mention all the people I know.”

In fact, Selena’s failure to maintain a warm relationship with her friend who once donated her kidney made many people feel disappointed in Selena. When she saw Selena continue to build new friendships in the showbiz world, such as the friendship with the couple Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz, but she was indifferent to Francia, which made many fans feel depressed.

A netizen commented on this story and received a lot of response from the online community: “If someone saves my life, if someone donates one of their kidneys to me, I will remind you. think of that person every day of my life, until the day I leave this world.

Selena’s willingness to openly talk about her health issues, from physical health to mental health, but she makes no mention of the person who helped her in her distress, who gave her a healthy life back, which was very confusing to me.

In the documentary, she could totally mention the friend who donated her kidney, but she didn’t say anything about Francia, which made me feel… cruel.”

Another comment also received a lot of response from the online community: “Selena said she was sorry for not mentioning all the people she “knows”, but I think the person who gave you one side completely carefree, just to save your life, that’s not someone you can simply use the word “acquaintance”.

After being given the chance to live a healthy life again, Selena should be grateful to the person who saved her. I really feel sorry for Francia. In fact, I can understand if there is a difference in friendship between the two of you and no longer play as close as before.

But to completely ignore the benefactor is too much and incomprehensible. Even if the two are no longer close friends, Selena can still fully express her gratitude for Francia.”

The fans have been hoping that Selena will be able to rekindle her friendship with Francia, erase the distances, misunderstandings and make that friendship warm again, after what Francia did for Selena. With the latest warm sharing about Francia, Selena Gomez shows that she is also trying to regain the image in the eyes of fans and rebuild her friendship with the benefactor who donated her kidney.
