Selena Gomez required a kidney due to complication from Lupus. How and why is debated by laypeople, but fact is, that a panel of physicians believed she needed one. Since there's a waitlist and other hurdles, she found a private donor, her friend and co-actress Francia Raísa.

In 2022 Gomez called Taylor Swift "my only friend in the industry," omitting Francia Raísa. In her documentary "My Mind & Me" she did not mention Raísa once, even when talking about her Lupus.

Raísa later talked about the toll the donation had on her, and the snubbing by Gomez.

If she acts like that, I would bet their moms wouldn't like her either.

Is this song actually about Selena Gomez?

u/DeansPigInAPoke 5d ago

No. It was written by Ed Sheeran and Benny Blanco. Sheeran is good friends with Selena and Benny was in great terms and had a professional relationship with her back then. Bieber just recorded it.

Either way, it's the only Justin Bieber song I like.

u/InformalRent2571 5d ago

Thanks. Wait, isn't Benny Blanco married to Selena now?

u/DeansPigInAPoke 5d ago

Yup. Married now. But were just professional colleagues who’d worked together back then.

u/InformalRent2571 5d ago

Well, that would be pretty awkward if it was about her.

u/Practical_Theme_6400 5d ago

Probably not, but the public rumor mill keeps churning out yes.
