My best friend. Her name is Francia. She said ‘No I am absolutely getting tested,’ Within three days, she went to [get tested], and she was a match. And it was one of those moments where I felt watched over. I know I was so so so lucky. I will never, ever, ever be more in debt to a person than Francia. The idea of someone not even second-guessing to be a donor was unbelievably overwhelming.
Selena Gomez Fans Threaten To Rip Out Kidney Donors “Other Kidney” Following Bizarre Drama
Actress Francia Raisa has a co-starring role on ‘How I Met Your Father‘ but she’s probably best known for being the friend who gave Selena Gomez a kidney.
For those who don’t know, when Gomez needed a kidney transplant due to complications from Lupus, her best friend at the time (Francia) stepped up and offered to give her one. Or really, the doctor told her she was a match and they kinda guilted her into it, but who’s keeping score?
Anyway, she did a nice thing for Selena, but after the kidney was shared, Selena and Francia’s relationship hasn’t been the same. They are not best friends anymore and rarely see each other, which has ignited feud rumors between them. The rumors have been going on for over a year now, with a lot of people slamming Gomez for being so rude to someone who gave her a kidney.
But some people, hardcore Selena fans, have been attacking Francia. Last week, Francia was tracked down by a paparazzo, and they asked her about her falling out with Gomez. Instead of addressing the feud directly, she talked about being bullied by Selena’s fans.
I think the [comment] that probably hurt the most was, ‘I hope someone goes up your p—y and rips out your other kidney, you f—king whore. In no way shape or form does anyone condone bullying, especially Selena. So the fact that now I’m being bullied as I am is messing with me mentally.
She then walked away from the paparazzo and refused to answer any other questions, likely because she knows the more she talks, the more she’s going to get bullied by the online weirdos.
It’s worth noting that after the feud rumors between them spread, Gomez did try to clear the air by referring to Francia as her best friend and giving her thanks again for donating her kidney.
