Francia Raisa appeared to call out Selena Gomez after saying Taylor Swift was her only friend in the industry.
Selena Gomez clapped back after Francia Raisa appeared to search the singer and dump her on Instagram.
Selena Gomez fans already know that Francia Raisa is one of her closest friends. Following complications from lupus in 2017, Selena needed a life-saving kidney transplant and Francia donated a kidney to Selena. At the time, Selena wrote, “There are no words to describe how I can possibly thank my beautiful friend Francia Raisa. I love you so much sister.”
Since then, Francia and Selena have remained good friends. Francia attended Selena’s 30th earlier this year and she even appeared in a TikTok video with Selena as recently as July.
However, Francia seems to have recently taken issue with the comments Selena made in a new interview and now Selena has defended herself.

Speaking to Rolling Stone last week, Selena said: “I never fit into a cool group of girls who were celebrities. My only friend in the industry is really Taylor [Swift]so I remember feeling like I didn’t belong.”
Yesterday (November 6), E! News posted the quote on its Instagram page. Noticing the post, Francia commented, “Interesting” and later ditched Selena on Instagram. Francia has since deleted the comment but she has unfollowed Selena.
Francia’s comment then made its way to TikTok with @stephwithdadeets explaining what happened in a viral video. Selena then chimed in on Steph’s comments herself. She wrote: “Sorry I didn’t mention everyone I know.”

While she hasn’t divulged more yet, it appears Selena didn’t dismiss her friendship with Francia in her initial interview. It’s also possible that Francia is upset that she won’t be mentioned in Selena’s new documentary. Selena Gomez: my mind and me. However, the documentary centers on Selena’s mental health and her kidney transplant is only mentioned in passing.
Selena still follows Francia on Instagram. Hoping they can sort things out!
