Selena criticized for claiming ‘Taylor Swift is her only friend’
Selena Gomez’s statement about her friendship with Taylor Swift caused a series of fierce controversies for allegedly ignoring Francia Raisa, who once donated her kidney to help her cure Lupus.
On November 3, Selena Gomez released a documentary called My Mind & Me. The film gives fans a close, honest look at the female singer’s life since becoming a star. It is worth mentioning that when sharing with Rolling Stone magazine to promote the documentary, Selena Gomez said: “I never fit in with a group of stylish girls who are celebrities. The only friend. The best in my industry is Taylor Swift.”
That confirmed, Selena Gomez considers Taylor Swift to be her best friend in the entertainment industry. But before that, the US media had many articles honoring the beautiful friendship between Selena Gomez and actress Francia Raisa. The two were close friends when Francia Raisa donated her kidney to Selena Gomez in 2017. At that time, the Lose You To Love Me singer had problems with Lupus.
It was Selena Gomez’s words that sparked rumors that she abandoned her close sister, even implicitly shaking off the help of the person who donated her kidney. So much so that actress Francia Raisa even left a meaningful comment “How interesting” on a post with pictures of Selena and Taylor Swift. Currently, the actress has also unfollowed Selena Gomez on Instagram.
The online community also reacted harshly to that ungrateful act of the female singer born in 1992: “Helping things to repay, helping people to repay rеᴠеngе”, “Life. Just because you consider someone your best friend doesn’t mean that others are too”, “A girl just wants to get attention from others”… Many people even think that they have noticed her fake face. Disney star for a long time, now has the opportunity to rеᴠеal.
After being criticized, Selena Gomez apologized for not being able to mention all the names of close acquaintances. Selena Gomez’s apology shows that she only considers Francia Raisa as a normal acquaintance, not showing the level of intimacy with the person who saved her life. Many rumors show that the friendship between the two has ended since 2019 when Francia Raisa no longer made the move to wish the female singer a happy birthday. But it was Selena who denied this news when she actively spoke up: “I can’t express how grateful I am to her.”
