The Apple TV+ film shed light on the star&#8217;s battles with mental and physical health, while also documenting her rise to fame and the impact that had on friends and family.<\/p>\n<p>Gomez has since done media appearances, one being an interview with\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/music\/music-features\/selena-gomez-my-mind-and-me-documentary-new-music-only-murders-in-the-building-1234620268\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><em>Rolling Stone<\/em><\/a>. In the candid chat, Gomez said Taylor Swift is currently her only &#8220;industry friend&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI never fit in with a cool group of girls that were celebrities,&#8221; she says. &#8220;My only friend in the industry really is Taylor [Swift], so I remember feeling like I didn\u2019t belong.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>This was news, apparently, to Francia Raisa, an American actress with roles in\u00a0<em>How I Met Your Father<\/em> and\u00a0<em>Bring It On: All Or Nothing<\/em>. She&#8217;s also the person who gave a kidney to Gomez back in 2017 during her critical health battle with lupus.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"500\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Thank you for blessing me. I am forever grateful to you. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/qW5Xm7GJpY\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/t.co\/qW5Xm7GJpY<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Selena Gomez (@selenagomez) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/selenagomez\/status\/1370179687352258560?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\">March 12, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>At the time, Gomez spoke to <em>The Today Show<\/em>, saying she didn&#8217;t want to ask anyone in her life, but Francia Raisa volunteered. \u201cShe lived with me in this interesting time where my kidneys were just done. That was it. I didn\u2019t want to ask a single person in my life. The thought of asking somebody to do that was really difficult for me. She volunteered and did it\u2014and let alone somebody wanting to volunteer, it is incredibly difficult to find a match. The fact that she was a match, I mean, that\u2019s unbelievable. That\u2019s not real.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Raisa, it seems, was not into Selena Gomez saying Taylor Swift is her only industry friend. The actor wrote &#8220;Interesting&#8221; under an <em>E!News\u00a0<\/em>post regarding Gomez&#8217;s comment, then quickly deleted it. However, fans also noticed that Raisa unfollowed Gomez that day on Instagram.<\/p>\n<p>Things escalated the following day, with Gomez commenting on a TikTok video that explained the drama with &#8220;sorry I didn&#8217;t mention every person I know&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>Francia Raisa and Selena Gomez were still firm friends at the time of all this controversy \u2013 Raisa was a guest at Gomez&#8217;s 30th birthday, and has featured on her TikTok.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"tiktok-embed\" cite=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@selenagomez\/video\/7125259405741837611\" data-video-id=\"7125259405741837611\" data-embed-from=\"oembed\" style=\"max-width: 605px;min-width: 325px;\" >\n<section> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/@selenagomez?refer=embed\"target=\"_blank\" title=\"@selenagomez\"  target=\"_blank\">@selenagomez<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>But everyone is a 10, remember that fact while viewing<\/p>\n<p> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/music\/original-sound-7125259394589346606?refer=embed\"target=\"_blank\" title=\"\u266c original sound - Selena Gomez\"  target=\"_blank\">\u266c original sound &#8211; Selena Gomez<\/a> <\/section>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p> <script async src=\"https:\/\/www.tiktok.com\/embed.js\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>So yes, it&#8217;s a lot. It&#8217;s highly likely fans and media have blown the rift out of proportion, but it definitely seems like Francia Raisa was offended by the comment \u2013 although it doesn&#8217;t sound like Selena Gomez meant it the way it&#8217;s been taken. Some fans are speculating that perhaps Gomez meant her only\u00a0<em>music<\/em> industry friend, or that Raisa is more than an industry friend \u2013 she&#8217;s a close circle person for Gomez.<\/p>\n<p>Whatever the case, we hope these two can mend their friendship.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":31333,"featured_media":29492,"template":"","format":"standard","categories":[65,35],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium
