Selena Gomez's organ donor Francia Raisa throws serious shade after being snubbed by singer
Selena Gomez's organ donor, Francia Raisa, has shared her reaction after being allegedly snubbed by the singer.
The pair, who were once lifelong friends after having met working in the industry together as children, have seemingly grown apart over the years - despite Francia donating one of her organs to Selena.
Following somewhat of a scandal last year between the pair, plus some recent comments made by Francia, it's clear that the two pals are nowhere near as close as they once were.

Selena took to Instagram back in 2017 (14 September) to share a heartfelt tribute to Francia - who is famed for her starring role on How I Met Your Father - and the 'ultimate sacrifice' she made for her.
Explaining to concerned fans why she was 'laying low for part of the summer' and 'wasn’t promoting [her] new music', the award-winning singer explained: "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 continued the post: "I want to publicly thank my family and incredible team of doctors for everything they have done for me prior to and post-surgery.
"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."
Selena ended the caption saying how 'incredibly blessed' she was, before concluded: "I love you so much sis."
However, flash-forward just five years later and it seems the pair are nowhere near as close as they once were.
Francia was spotted out on a dog walk over the weekend (30 April) when she allegedly avoided answering certain questions to do with her friendship with Selena.
TMZ reports that she didn't give any details on whether she and the 'Love You Like a Love Song' hit-maker were on good terms or not and, instead, changed the subject entirely.
The friendship seemed to have taken a turn back in November of last year after a particularly controversial interview.
Selena was promoting her documentary, My Mind and Me, and told Rolling Stone that the only person she was properly close to in the industry was long-time bestie Taylor Swift.
She revealed: "I never fit in with a cool group of girls that were celebrities. My only friend in the industry really is Taylor [Swift], so I remember feeling like I didn’t belong."
E! News then posted Selena's quote to Instagram, to which Francia commented a cryptic 'interesting' underneath and later unfollowed Selena off of the platform altogether.
Subsequently, TikTok user Stephanie Tleiji recapped the situation between the trio leading Selena to later respond to some of the allegations in the comments section of the video writing: "Sorry I didn’t mention every person I know."
In March of this year, Selena opened up some more about her friendship with Francia.
Speaking on the Apple TV+ documentary series Dear..., Selena said: "I will never ever, ever be more in debt to a person than Francia.
"The idea of someone not even second-guessing to be a donor was unbelievably overwhelming."
