Selena Gomez‘s kidney donor Francia Raisa claimed that the musician’s fans have sent vile messages following their alleged fallout.
The Come and Get It singer, 30, faced complications from lupus in 2017, when her now 34-year-old friend learned her kidney would help her recover.
The Only Murders In The Building actress has been friends with Francia, who is also an actress and singer, since childhood.
Francia, 34, was hailed a hero when she generously donated a kidney to Selena, however, fans were concerned that the pair had fallen out last November, after the singer claimed that Taylor Swift is her ‘only friend in the industry.’
At its most severe it can produce inflammation causing ‘severe damage to the heart, lungs, brain or kidneys’ which ‘can be life threatening’, according to the NHS website.
Francia reportedly commented on E! News’ Instagram post about Selena’s comments, simply writing: ‘Interesting.’
Responding to the backlash from her fans, Francia told TMZ: ‘I think the one that probably hurt the most was, ‘I hope someone goes up your p—y and rips out your other kidney, you f —ing wh**e.
‘The only thing I’m going to say is in no way, shape or form does anyone condone bullying, especially Selena.’
Rumours of a feud were also heightened with the release of Selena’s documentary, My Mind & Me, which discusses her kidney transplant but makes no mention of Francia donating one.
Fans then quickly noticed that Francia wasn’t following Selena although it’s not known if she ever did or when she may have unfollowed her.
A TikTok user discussed Selena’s comments about her celebrity friendships, prompting the popstar to hit back: ‘Sorry I didn’t mention every person I know.’
Selena famously shared a photo of her and Francia recovering in hospital beds following the surgery in September 2017.
Alongside the photo, which shows the two friends smiling at each other and holding hands, Selena wrote: ‘And finally, there aren’t words to describe how I can possibly thank my beautiful friend Francia Raisa. She gave me the ultimate gift and sacrifice by donating her kidney to me.
‘I am incredibly blessed. I love you so much sis.’
