The father of Selena Gomez's organ donor Francia Raisa said the pair no longer talk after an alleged argument about drinking.
Watch below to see what he had to say:
Back in 2017, the Only Murders in the Building star revealed that she underwent an urgent kidney transplant with the help of her 'sis', Francia.

Taking to Instagram after the surgery, Selena said: "I'm very aware some of my fans had noticed I was laying low for part of the summer and questioning why I wasn't promoting my new music, which I was extremely proud of.
"So I found out I needed to get a kidney transplant due to my Lupus and was recovering. It was what I needed to do for my overall health."
She added: "And finally, there aren't words to describe how I can possibly thank my beautiful friend Francia Raisa. She gave me the ultimate gift and sacrifice by donating her kidney to me.
"I am incredibly blessed. I love you so much sis."
Francia, who donated her organ to Selena, was believed to be a close friend of the pop singer - and now doesn't even follow her on Instagram.
In a recent interview with TMZ, the How I Met Your Father actor was asked about their friendship, but seemingly kept dodging the question.
"Sunday is so fun, it's a day of rest. I'm Francia and I'm hanging out with my dog," she said.
When prompted by the reporter again, Francia added: "It's a good day, it's so pretty out now.
"I was in the snow last week and now L.A. weather."
She later clarified that she's 'really good at this game', while insinuating her refusal to answer any Selena-related questions.
Francia's father Renán Almendárez Coello weighed in on the situation last year.
The father told Primer Impacto that the pair allegedly 'had a little disagreement when Selena was drinking'.
The Honduran-American radio personality said: "Francia told her she didn't give her the kidney so she could keep drinking, so she could put it to waste...and all that.
"That's the way Hollywood is, that's how it is, glamour money and fame, it changes everybody's brains," he added.
Tyla has contacted the representatives for Selena Gomez for comment.
