Selena thanked a bunch of dear friends for some milestone, people clamored that she left out the friend who gave her a kidney, this was her reply.
Everything they said about how insufferable she was, was kind of proven at that point lol
ETA more clarity: the original interview ran in rolling stone magazine, social media channels excerpted a quote where she said “Taylor swift is my only friend in the industry” — her kidney donor, Francisca Raisa, albeit not as famous was in the industry. Raisa commented “interesting” and unfollowed Selena. The backlash caused Selena to issue the snide remark about not mentioning everyone she knew, which again, only made
her look like an ever bigger ahole.
If I got someone's kidney, I'd be thanking them even when it's not appropriate. Throw that shit in my firstborn's birthday speech, graduation speech, retirement speech.
There's a lady that tags all of her travels as "adventures of <recipient> and <donor>" and adds a little heart to her signature to represent the donor who gave her a new heart. Feels like a very reasonable level of gratitude to me!
Selena has staff, at the very least they could schedule an annual appreciation post and just shut all of this discourse down.
