Selena Gomez's kidney donor, Francia Raisa, has shaded her alleged former best friend.

Back in 2017, the Only Murders in the Building star revealed that she underwent an urgent kidney transplant with the help of her 'sis'.

Taking to Instagram at the time, Selena said: "I'm very aware some of my fans had noticed I was laying low for part of the summer and questioning why I wasn't promoting my new music, which I was extremely proud of.

"So I found out I needed to get a kidney transplant due to my Lupus and was recovering. It was what I needed to do for my overall health."

She added: "And finally, there aren't words to describe how I can possibly thank my beautiful friend Francia Raisa. She gave me the ultimate gift and sacrifice by donating her kidney to me.

"I am incredibly blessed. I love you so much sis."

Francia, who donated her organ to Selena, was believed to be a close friend of the pop singer - and now doesn't even follow her on Instagram.

When asked by TMZ about their friendship, the How I Met Your Father actor seemingly kept dodging the question.

"Sunday is so fun, it's a day of rest. I'm Francia and I'm hanging out with my dog," she said.

When prompted by the reporter again, Francia added: "It's a good day, it's so pretty out now. I was in the snow last week and now L.A. weather."

She later clarified that she's 'really good at this game', while insinuating her refusal to answer any Selena-related questions.

But when asked about kidney donation, Francia was keen to answer and said: "I would definitely speak to someone again about organ donation and the process and stuff.

"I've done it a few times, it's not something I promote obviously.

"You know the other day at the movies I was with my friend Lily and someone came up to me and said 'hey my friend is the one that you spoke to a few years back about the kidney donation and she's really grateful'."

Well it appears that the pair were close prior to the treatment and as Francia wrote a heartfelt birthday message to Selena back in 2016.

"I am obsessed with every memory we've built in the last eight years and the ones we have yet to create. I am so grateful that God put you in my life when he did," she penned.

"It's been so inspiring watching you grow and to grow with you. I learn so much from you and I'm so so so proud of you. Happy Birthday Hermana. Love you so so so much."
