“Always bringing it up”: Netizens slam Francia Raisa for often talking about donating her kidney to Selena Gomez

During an interview with USA Today on December 28, Francia Raisa revealed that she 'didn't speak much' to Selena Gomez after donating one of her kidneys to her in 2017.

The pair met as teenagers in 2007, and Raisa donated one of her kidneys to the Hands to Myself singer in 2017 after the latter was diagnosed with Lupus and needed a kidney transplant.

The recent interview where she talked about their friendship and donating Selena a kidney was slammed online, after people pointed out that Raisa brings up the donation often.

Rasia said:

"We hadn't spoken much in six years. Especially last year, we didn't speak at all. "

She added:

"And obviously, you know, I gave the girl a kidney so everyone felt a certain way and I was asked for years and years and years, 'Do you regret it?' and I was like, 'No, the relationship has always been there. There was just a tiff."

People on the internet suspected Raisa and Gomez had a falling out after Gomez's Rolling Stone interview in November 2022 where she called Taylor Swift "my only friend in the industry", when many wondered why Raisa wasn't included in the answer.

It was then reported that Raisa unfollowed Gomez around this time, and posted a comment on an E! News post about Gomez's quote, "Interesting." Gomez, too, responded to the incident saying; "Sorry I didn't mention every person I know."
