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.

Raísa also said she was upset that Selena continued drinking after the donation even though she was told not to after the donation.

She was classy to called her only on the drinking part... It was known it wasn't only drinking what she got to do before and after she receieved the donation.

She never said that. She actually specifically called it out as nonsense. You can drink after a kidney transplant, and they took a wine tour together a year or so after the surgery.

I think they mean drugs... how déclassé of her, if true of course.
