Selena Gomez’s new documentary, My Mind & Me, made one thing clear: despite her global stardom, the actor and singer is a real person. And just like any other regular human being, she’s bound to piss off her friends. The Apple TV+ film, which recounts the singer’s life over the past six years, has seemingly caused a feud between Gomez and her longtime friend Francia Raisa, the actor who donated a kidney to Gomez in 2017. Since the documentary came out Friday, there’s been at least one Instagram unfollow, a handful of shady comments, and an army of fans coming to Gomez’s defense. But what exactly led these organ-sharing, lifelong besties to quarrel? Let’s dig in.
On the eve of My Mind & Me’s release, Rolling Stone published an interview with Gomez about the film and her hesitations around it. She also opened up about her general feelings of isolation, confessing in the interview that she “never fit in with a cool group of girls that were celebrities,” adding that Taylor Swift is her only friend in the industry. This seemed to hit a nerve with Raisa, who’s been acting since 2005, starring in shows like The Secret Life of an American Teenager, Grown-ish, and most recently, Hulu’s How I Met Your Father—and has been friends with the global sensation since 2007.
