In an interview with USA Today on Thursday, actor Francia Raísa said she didn’t speak ‘much’ to Selena Gomez after donating one of her kidneys to the star in 2017.
« We hadn’t spoken much in six years, » Raísa told USA Today reporter Pamela Avila. « Especially the last year, we didn’t speak at all. »
News that Raísa had donated her kidney to the star was met with headlines across the world. Gomez needed a new kidney following a Lupus diagnosis. Raísa had stepped up to supply the kidney.
« There aren’t words to describe how I can possibly thank my beautiful friend Francia Raísa, » Gomez wrote on Instagram at the time, alongside a photo of them in hospital beds, holding hands. « She gave me the ultimate gift and sacrifice by donating her kidney to me.
