Selena Gomez claps back at Francia Raisa

• Selena Gomez said her only friend in the industry is Taylor Swift.
• Raisa was noticeably absent from the documentary My Mind and Me about Selena’s life.
• The former Wizards of Waverly Place star struggled with mental illnesses like depression and bipolar disorder

Maybe she wasn’t speaking literally. Selena Gomez clapped back after speculation that her comment about Taylor Swift being her “only friend” in Hollywood was a dig against pal Francia Raisa.

“Sorry I didn’t mention every person I know,” Gomez, 30, commented via TikTok on a clip of Stephanie Tleiji (@stephwithdadeets) explaining the perceived drama.

In Gomez’s Rolling Stone cover story, which dropped on Thursday, November 3, the “Ice Cream” singer spoke about her tight-knit inner circle. “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,” she said.

When the quote was highlighted on Instagram, Raisa, 34, left a comment with the word “Interesting” next to it. The comment, however, appears to have been removed. Fans have also noted that Gomez is not being followed on Instagram by the How I Met Your Father actor.

For fifteen years, Raisa and Gomez have been friends. They originally connected in 2007 while visiting a children’s hospital, and ten years later, Raisa gave the former Disney Channel star a kidney.

In 2017, the Rare Beauty founder announced that she received an organ transplant amid her battle with lupus. “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,” Gomez captioned an Instagram photo of her and the Secret Life of the American Teenager alum holding hands in the hospital in September 2017. “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.”

After giving a kidney to Selena in 2018, Raisa spoke openly and candidly to Us Weekly about the kindness she received from fans.

“It’s honestly been overwhelming and very amazing. I’m never really open about my personal life and it’s amazing the response that I’ve been getting from people,” Raisa exclusively told Us in January 2018. “I’m honestly just honored.”

Even though the documentary My Mind and Me, which was released on Friday, November 4, on Apple TV+, covered the final six years of the Only Murders in the Building star’s life, Raisa was noticeably absent from the story. My Mind & Me, which Alek Keshishian directed, is on the former Wizards of Waverly Place actor’s struggle with mental illnesses like depression and bipolar disorder.
