This was not your typical dispute between former friends. This wasn’t your everyday trouble between former friends, either.
Several years ago, Francia donated her kidney to Selena amidst the star’s ongoing battle with lupus. It’s a tragedy that their fallout is compounded by this.
And, according to Francia’s father it’s directly related to the tension between them. He claims that Selena refused not to stop drinking after her transplant and this caused the friendship to fall apart. Is this true?

Just to briefly recap, Selena Gomez has lupus. It is an autoimmune disease that causes Selena Gomez’s immune system to attack herself as if she were a virus, or a foreign bacteria. Francia Raisa donated her kidney. Francia and Selena were inseparable at the time. You know, one.
However, in recent years, the world has seen clear signs of the growing distance between them.
Some friends are forever. Some friends are forever. Others come and go. And it can be hard to tell one from the other until you reach a rough patch.

El Cucuy, whose real name Renan Almendarez is Coello, responded to a query about why Selena: My Mind & me did not include Francia despite Selena following her for years.

That sounds like a very complex discussion — about friendship, about organ donation, and more. An organ donor can’t dictate the way a recipient lives. But what likely started from a place of concern spiraled into something bitter.
Meanwhile, Francia has been dodging questions about her falling out with Selena. Maybe she wanted to be respectful, or maybe it was something else.

It’s sad that their friendship came to an end.
