No, Francia Raisa wasn’t compelled to contribute her kidney to Selena Gomez — something the starlet really felt the demand to improve in the Aug. 1 episode of Josh Peck’s Good Guys podcast.
“Never in my life did I picture this,” Raisa started on the program, discussing the supposition that she as well as Gomez are no more close friends, or that the How I Met Your Father celebrity was in some way compelled to quit her kidney to the pop artist in 2017. “I know she and I both went public with our situation years ago … press got ahold of the story and we wanted to tell it.”
“I just felt it in my heart, and I knew, I knew I was a match,” she proceeded, reviewing the body organ contribution procedure. “No one forced me to do anything. It came out of the genuine kindness of my heart.”
Raisa donated her kidney to Gomez 6 years back after the Rare Beauty owner experienced body organ damages brought on by Lupus. However, both of close friends appeared to wander apart in the years that adhered to.
Things capped in 2014 when Raisa didn’t appear to take too kindly to a remark Gomez made in a meeting with Rolling Stone, throughout which the singer-actress claimed Taylor Swift was almost her “only friend in the industry.”
“Interesting,” Raisa talked about an article sharing the quote, to which Gomez responded, “Sorry I didn’t mention every person I know.”
Since after that, Raisa has actually dealt with an attack of hate remarks from Gomez’s followers, like the intimidation Hailey Bieber says she faced previously this year concerning her marital relationship to the “Lose You to Love Me” vocalist’s ex-boyfriend Justin Bieber. Gomez got on Instagram Stories in March to discourage fans from pounding Hailey with negative thoughts. And, simply today, Gomez appeared to squash fight reports with Raisa by openly wishing her happy birthday on Instagram, uploading numerous images of their relationship via the years.
Still, Raisa claims she doesn’t such as to review her social networks remarks as a result of just how serious the negative thoughts is. “I can’t read the comments because I don’t do well with that,” she informed Peck. “I really don’t. People are so mean, and they hit you like, right there. Someone said, ‘Oh, you’re just looking for attention because your career is a flop.’ And I’m like, ‘Is it a flop?’ But guys, there’s no beef.”
