Selena Gomez is getting heat for excluding Francia Raísa — the actor and friend who donated a kidney to Gomez in 2017 — from her documentary "My Mind & Me" and saying that Taylor Swift is her only friend in the industry.
The "Only Murders in the Building" star, 30, spoke up against the backlash, which spilled onto social media this weekend after her recent Rolling Stone interview and the exclusion of Raísa from the Alek Keshishian-directed doc. The stark AppleTV+ film chronicles the last six years of Gomez's life — including her physical and mental health struggles with lupus, anxiety, depression and bipolar disorder.
"How I Met Your Father" and "grown-ish" star Raísa, 34, famously donated a kidney to Gomez as the latter's battle with lupus intensified. The actors, who have been been friends for more than a decade and referred to each other as sisters, shared several details of the "ultimate gift" they gave one another on social media and in interviews at the time. (Although, some of those social posts have since been removed.)
