Francia Raisa, actor and Selena Gomez‘s kidney donor, reacted to the bullying she’s received from fans on Monday (May 8) due to their reported feud.
“I think the one that probably hurt the most was ‘I hope someone goes up your p—y and rips out your other kidney, you wh—,'” she said to a TMZ camera person when describing the types of comments she receives on social media.
“Listen, I don’t really wanna talk to you right now. The only thing I’m going to say is in no way, shape, or form does anyone condone bullying,” Raisa continued. “Especially Selena. She literally has a whole nonprofit dedicated to mental health, and I believe Rare Beauty just even had an event for mental health.”
She added, “So the fact that now I’m being bullied as I am – and it is messing with me mentally – it’s just… To me, it’s not what anyone wants for someone.”
“No one should be bullied [e]specially when she gave a part of herself to save someone’s life,” one fan agreed in the comments.
“She’s so beautiful and well-spoken. She doesn’t deserve to be bullied, smh,” someone else said.

The How I Met Your Father actor was famously best friends with the “My Mind & Me” singer when she volunteered to get tested to be an organ donor for the star, who needed a kidney after being diagnosed with lupus.
“My best friend, her name is Francia. She said, ‘No, I am absolutely getting tested.’ And within three days, she went to get tested, and she was a match. And it was one of those moments where I felt watched over. I know I was so so so lucky,” Gomez explained in the Apple TV+ documentary series Dear…
She added that she 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.”
However, rumors of a feud between the two began after Gomez stated in her 2022 Apple TV+ documentary Selena Gomez: My Mind & Me that Taylor Swift is her “only friend in the industry.”
Raisa commented, “Interesting,” on an Instagram post featuring the quote and was immediately met with backlash from fans.
She subsequently unfollowed the singer on Instagram in November 2022 and has not followed Gomez back since, while Gomez still follows her.
