You know actorFrancia Raisafrom things likeHow I Met Your Father.
If you’re aSelena Gomezfan, then you also probably know that Franciadonated a kidneyto her in 2017.
You’re also probably aware of somealleged dramabetween the two that emerged last winter, after Selena referred toTaylor Swiftas “my only friend in the industry” in her documentaryMy Mind & Me.
Francia was recently confronted byTMZ’s camera people, who questioned her about what’s been going on with Selena. She chose not to address the subject directly, and as a result, Francia’s apparently faced a lot of online bullying.
When Franciarecently spoke to TMZ again, she detailed some of the “pretty bad” messages she’s received. “I think the one that probably hurt the most was, ‘I hope someone goes up your pussy and rips out your other kidney, you fucking whore,'” she recalled.
“The only thing I’m going to say is in no way, shape, or form does anyone condone bullying, especially Selena,” Francia went on to state, pointing out that Selena also founded aninitiativeto support mental health.
“So the fact that I’m now being bullied as I am, it’s messing with me mentally.”
“To me, it’s not what anyone wants for someone,” Francia continued. “[Selena]’s literally out there saying, ‘Please stop,’ so I don’t understand why it’s not stopping — not just for me, but others that are also being antagonized online.”
“I totally, totally, totally get it, but it’s not nice. I would say, not just with me, but with anyone, please stop.”
