Pop star Selena Gomez’s longtime friend and kidney donor, Francia Raisa, has reportedly spoken up after fans noticed her absence from Gomez’s recent wedding celebrations.
Friendship That Once Made Headlines
Back in 2017, Selena Gomez revealed that she had undergone a life-saving kidney transplant due to complications from lupus, a chronic autoimmune disease. The donor turned out to be none other than her close friend and actress Francia Raisa, a gesture that touched fans around the world and highlighted their deep bond.
Their friendship became a symbol of loyalty and sacrifice — until reports of a quiet fallout began to surface a few years later.
Missing from the Guest List
Recently, Selena Gomez tied the knot in an intimate ceremony that was attended by family members and several celebrity friends. However, fans were quick to notice that Francia Raisa was not among the invited guests, sparking speculation about where the two now stand.
According to sources close to the situation, Francia was hurt after being left out of the celebration, especially considering their shared history. While she hasn’t directly addressed the situation, her recent social media post — featuring a quote about “being replaced easily” — caught the attention of fans and fueled further discussion online.
Selena’s Side of the Story
Neither Selena Gomez nor her representatives have commented publicly on the matter. However, Gomez has previously mentioned that while she will “always be thankful” for the kidney donation, she believes “friendships evolve, and people grow apart.”
In past interviews, both women have emphasized that their relationship has had ups and downs but remains rooted in respect and gratitude.

Fans React Online
Social media platforms, especially X (formerly Twitter) and TikTok, have been buzzing with opinions from fans. Some express support for Francia, calling her exclusion from the event “unfair,” while others argue that personal relationships shouldn’t be judged by the public.
One user wrote, “No matter what happened, Selena should have invited her kidney donor. That’s not just a friend — that’s family.”
Another countered, “People change. Just because she donated an organ doesn’t mean Selena owes her lifelong inclusion in everything.”
Moving Forward
Both Gomez and Raisa have built successful careers beyond the headlines. Selena Gomez continues to balance her work in music, acting, and her beauty brand Rare Beauty, while Francia Raisa has been busy with her acting projects and philanthropic work.
Whether or not they reconcile publicly, their shared story remains one of the most talked-about friendships in Hollywood.
