Selena Gomez "warmed up" with her kidney donor friend, asked each other to do 1 thing to clear up rumors of a rift

Over the past few years, Selena Gomez and actress Francia Raisa — a friend who donated a kidney to her in 2017 — have reportedly had friction. Recently, the appearance of the two at a restaurant has settled rumors of friendship problems.

Recently, on their personal pages, both Selena and Francia showed off a series of gorgeous photos going to dinner with close friends at an Italian restaurant in Los Angeles after a period of emotional rift.

At the date, they both wore the same patterned clogs. Francia also attached a caption affirming that there was no argument or complaint between the 2 people in this meeting. After the meal, the two got in the same car and left after dinner.

It was the first time the two girls had been seen together in nearly a year, since Selena's birthday last year. In November last year, Selena gave an interview to Rolling Stone magazine, saying that "my only friend in the world is Taylor Swift" when it comes to her failure to fit into the group of popular girls. This statement of Selena immediately caused controversy because Selena no longer considered actress Francia Raisa a close friend.

Under a post resharing Selena's quote, Francia commented: "Interesting." Fans later also spotted Francia unfollowing Selena on Instagram. In response, Selena wrote a comment under a TikTok video discussing how Francia Raisa had unfollowed her: "Sorry I didn't mention every single person I know."

This scandal has caused mixed opinions. The former Disney star was criticized by many for not taking her kidney donor seriously, even Selena was called a "blight" and "ungrateful". Viewers also pointed out that Selena did not mention Francia in the documentary My Mind & Me about her battle with health issues released at the time.

However, there were also fans who defended Selena, claiming that the Slow Down singer's quote was taken out of context. "Honestly, I feel like this whole thing is taken out of context and Selena meant the music industry that Francia wasn't a part of," one follower wrote. Another commented: "She may not really see Francia as an 'industry friend' but more as a sister, that was my first thought!"

In March of this year, Selena praised Francia Raisa and affirmed how grateful she was to her friend who donated a kidney. "I know I've been so lucky. I've never owed anyone as much as Francia. The thought of someone without a second to donate a kidney is truly unimaginable," Selena Gomez said on Apple TV's Dear .

On her Facebook page on July 26, Selena Gomez posted a series of emotional memories with Francia Raisa and wrote: "Happy birthday special someone. No matter where life takes us, I will always love you, Francia Raisa."

Selena tagged Francia Raisa's Instagram account in the post. After a few hours of posting, the post received 5.5 million likes and countless comments. For now, however, Francia Raisa has not responded.

On the Good Guys podcast on Aug. 1, Francia Raísa said of donating a kidney to Selena: "From my heart, I knew I was the right person. I knew it was going to happen. No one forced me to do anything. It comes from the real kindness in my heart and I've been blessed so much since."

Recently, there have been many speculations on the Internet that Francia Raísa did not actually volunteer to donate a kidney to Selena but that she was put in a dilemma to save her friend who was suffering from kidney failure because of lupus erythematosus. However, Francia insists the decision to donate a kidney was entirely her own. The How I Met Your Father actress said she never imagined kidney donation would cause such a stir and turn into such an Internet story.

Regarding rumors of feud with Selena Gomez, Francia Raísa also frankly denied it.

Selena Gomez and Francia Raisa — the 34-year-old star best known for How I Met Your Father — have been together for more than a decade, once treating each other like sisters. When Selena suffered from severe kidney failure, Francia took the initiative to donate a kidney to the singer. After surgery in the summer of 2017, it took Francia Raisa two months to walk normally and wore 4 scars on her abdomen. Selena and Francia later got double tattoos the day they had kidney transplant surgery to forge a deep friendship.
