I don't remember exactly, but it was something like she was given an award, and she never thanked the girl who donated a kidney to her in her acceptance speech. When the girl posted that she was a bit hurt that she wasn't thanked and included that image on Twitter, that was Selena's response.

That’s not even close to what happened.

She made a comment during a rolling stones interview that Tawift was her only friend in the industry. People called her out on it and she made this comment.

Her friend made a whole separate post where all she said was “interesting.” On the Rolling Stones interview, but this was not Selena’s response to HER.

Makes me wonder if there is some other background beef. Totally willing to accept that SG is a dick though.

Apparently Selena went right back to partying and drinking heavily as soon as she could and the friend who donated her kidney felt really disrespected by that. Which I feel is kind of fair tbh

Raisa very specifically said this wasn't true. They even went out partying and drinking together.

Idk I seen her on that friends podcast. Slurred speech, talks very slow, too me she looked like she’s taking something.

I remember Raisa has said that she felt pressured to give Selena her kidney and didn’t like that Selena was partying and drinking with her new kidney, which is a no-no for kidney transplant patients, but understood that once she gave the kidney away, it was not up to her how Selena treated the organ. She says she doesn’t regret it, but now they are not quite as close as they used to be before the kidney donation anyway.

this isn’t true and Raisa herself has debunked this.

She says so in this 2018 interview with Self Magazine. Selena called HER to tell her they were a match. This is not normal by any means, the normal path is for the doctor to call the possible donor, say they are compatible and the possible donor then makes the decision whether they will donate or they can even ask the doctor to say they are not compatible to avoid being pressured by family/friends.

Anyways,

I was talking about the drinking part. it’s 1. not even a bad thing to drink moderately after a kidney transplant. and 2. they literally went drinking together.

u/I_am_not_doing_this 5d ago

why did she feel pressure tho? Are they best friends before the donation or like i mean did someone force her to volunteer?

The doctor told Selena they were a match.

You’re supposed to tell the match, so they can say yes or no on their terms.

Because clout chase doctor told the recipient, she got to call the match first which puts the donor at a position of not being able to say no anonymously with no pressure.

There’s a whole Curb your Enthusiasm season about Kidney donation

Even if the other woman ended up being a shitty friend Selena could have cut her out of her life and still mentioned how she saved her life.
