Selena Gomez and Francia Raisa's Friendship Falls Apart Over Kidney Transplant and Alcohol

Francia Raisa, Selena Gomez's longtime friend and kidney donor, reportedly stopped talking to the singer after she refused to stop drinking following the life-saving transplant. The shocking revelation came from El Cucuy, the father of Francia and a famous Spanish radio host, who shared the details in a recent interview on the Spanish news show «Primer Impacto.»

According to El Cucuy, the disagreement between the two former best friends occurred when Francia confronted Selena about her drinking habits, telling her she didn't donate a kidney just so she could go out and drink. The comment reportedly caused stress on Selena's transplanted kidney, leading to the breakdown in their friendship.


The two actresses had been close friends since they were child actors, with Francia donating her kidney to Selena in 2017 after the singer faced life-threatening complications from lupus. However, the relationship soured following the incident, and Francia was notably absent from Selena's recent documentary, «Selena Gomez: My Mind & Me.»

While Francia has been tight-lipped about the situation in public, her recent dodging of questions about Selena in a paparazzi video has raised suspicions among some of the singer's fans.

Selena Gomez and Francia Raisa have been friends for many years, having met as child actors. They were known to be incredibly close, so much so that when Selena's lupus caused her kidneys to fail, Francia didn't hesitate to donate one of her own to her best friend.

However, things took a turn for the worse when Selena reportedly continued to drink alcohol after her transplant, causing stress on the donated organ. This led to a falling out between the two, with Francia allegedly cutting off contact with Selena. While the exact details of their falling out remain unclear, it's clear that the two former friends have gone their separate ways.

As of now, Selena's representatives have yet to comment on the matter. The revelation adds a new layer of complexity to Selena and Francia's relationship and sheds light on the struggles that can arise in even the closest of friendships.
