Francia Raisa, who donated a kidney to Selena Gomez in 2017, has finally spoken after years of silence about their distant friendship. Her absence from Gomez’s wedding to Benny Blanco reignited public speculation, which she calmly addressed during a recent bookstore interview.

“Right now, what you’re asking me is nonsense that’s been in the media,” Raisa said. “There are too many rumors. I’ve never said anything.” She denied ever being upset about Gomez’s lifestyle after the surgery, adding she hadn’t even heard such rumors until recently.

When asked about not being invited to the wedding, Raisa responded graciously in Spanish: “I know she’s getting married, and I’m very happy for her. She has her life, and she’s a billionaire now. I’m just grateful I could do that for her.” She compared her act to donating to charity — something done without expecting anything in return.

Raisa acknowledged the emotional toll of organ donation, saying it’s “not easy,” especially for women, but expressed gratitude that she could “save a life.”

While Gomez’s lavish wedding made headlines, many fans noticed Raisa’s absence. Still, her calm words made clear — her gift came from love, and she has found peace regardless of where their friendship stands.
