Selena Gomez is an actor that certainly needs no introduction. She began acting way back in television’s Barney & Friends, but most remember her from her iconic performances in Disney shows such as Wizards of Waverly Place before she turned around and became one of the hottest singers on the planet.
As someone nominated for both multiple Emmys and multiple Grammys, Gomez has had the kind of career most would kill to have. But Gomez herself nearly had that career derailed when she began struggling with lupus. Fortunately, she was able to get her career back on track after receiving a kidney donation from Francia Raisa.
But who is the woman who donated a kidney to Gomez? What was their relationship like, and what caused their epic falling out? Keep reading to discover the answers!
Francia Raisa is a fellow actor
While she isn’t the megastar that Selena Gomez is, Francia Raisa is a fellow actor. She has starred in some noteworthy movies and shows over the years, including Dear White People, Black-ish, How I Met Your Father, and many more.
Raisa being a fellow traveler in Hollywood may seem like the most logical way for her and Selena Gomez to meet, but it wasn’t a movie that brought them together. Instead, it was a charity event that ended up completely changing both women’s lives.
