Selena Gomez‘s ex best friend and kidney donor Francia Raisa has shaded her just months after the Rare Beauty founder had heaped praise on her.
The 34-year-old actress was seen walking her dog in Studio City on Sunday when she was asked several questions about the current state of her relationship with the 30-year-old multihyphenate.
Francia seemingly shaded Selena as she literally did all that she could to avoid saying her former friend’s name in addition to talking about where they stand now.
As the How I Met Your Father star no longer followers the Only Murders In The Building Actress on social media, she was asked if things were still good between them.
Francia smirked as the question was being asked before coyly replying: ‘Sunday is so fun, it’s a day of rest. I’m Francia and I’m hanging out with my dog.’

Ouch: Francia seemingly shaded Selena as she literally did all that she could to avoid saying her former friend’s name in addition to talking about where they stand now; the two are seen in November 2017
She was then asked if they still talk to which she responded: ‘It’s a good day, it’s so pretty out now. I was in the snow last week and now L.A. weather.’
The man behind the camera commented on her avoidant answers to which Francia replied: ‘I’m really good at this game, I’ve gotten better.’
The actress continued to dodge questions as she talked about how she is from the valley and even discussed the Los Angeles Lakers playoff hopes while pretending to be interested in what kind of tree was on the sidewalk.
Francia did all that she could to deflect on the stroll but there was one thing that she did address directly in organ donation.
She was asked if she would donate her kidney again despite how her friendship with Selena ended up.
She answered honestly: ‘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.”‘
Francia said that she asked how the person’s friend was doing and she said ‘great’ and donating her kidney is worth it for moments like that.

The Grown-ish star looked gorgeous on the outing as she sported a lilac-colored sports bra with grey sweat pants.
She also wore a white knit sweater down by her elbows along with a matching pair of sneakers.
Her red locks were worn down as she sported large black shades while showcasing her natural looks by going make-up free.
Back in March Selena had showered praise on her ‘best friend’ Francia for donating a life-saving kidney to her in 2017.
Their bond has had its ups and downs, including a vicious feud last year after Selena named Taylor Swift as her ‘only friend in the industry.’
But in a possible signal that they have mended fences, Selena, 30, waxed rhapsodic about Francia on a new episode of the Apple TV+ series Dear….
‘I will never, ever, ever be more in debt to a person than Francia,’ said Selena, who needed the transplant because of her battle with lupus. ‘The idea of someone not even second-guessing to be a donor was unbelievably overwhelming.’
She announced the transplant on Instagram in 2017 with a heartwarming snap of her and Francia holding hands as they lay in side-by-side hospital beds.

‘Overwhelming’: ‘I will never, ever, ever be more in debt to a person than Francia,’ said Selena, who needed the transplant because of her battle with lupus
During the new episode of Dear…, Selena revealed that Francia herself insisted on getting tested to see if she was able to donate her kidney.
‘So within three days she went to go do it and she was a match, and it was one of those moments where I felt watched over,’ Selena recalled.
‘I know I was so, so, so lucky,’ she acknowledged. ‘I understand that that doesn’t happen for a lot of people and I know the outcome of some of those situations and how serious they are. So I do not take it lightly that it’s happened to me that way.’
The two women then procured matching tattoos of the date the transplant occurred, cementing their connection as lifelong friends.
Francia, an actress, first became acquainted with Selena in 2007 when they were teenagers and they instantly developed a tight rapport.
When Selena’s life was in danger amid her battle with lupus, Francia unhesitatingly came to her rescue and relinquished one of her kidneys.
Francia later revealed on Harry Connick Jr’s talk-show that she had a brutal recovery, to the point she ‘couldn’t do anything active’ for two months besides ‘walk.’
A year after the transplant, Selena was spotted partying with friends at the Four Seasons in New York and indulging in alcohol.

Rumors flew that Francia was incensed by Selena’s ‘unhealthy choices,’ resulting in an explosive confrontation between the two women.
Then in October 2018, one month after Selena’s ex Justin Bieber got married to Hailey Baldwin, Selena allegedly suffered a breakdown connected to her lupus.
She promptly entered treatment for her mental health, whereupon she and Francia reportedly repaired their friendship.
However tension flared up between them again last year when Selena released an Apple TV+ documentary called My Mind And Me in which she extensively discussed her health problems but neglected to mention Francia even once.
Adding insult to injury, she gave an interview to Rolling Stone where she said her ‘only friend in the industry really’ was Taylor Swift.
Francia remarked: ‘Interesting,’ on Instagram and made her feelings clear by unfollowing Selena on the social media platform.
When a TikTok account posted a video about the bust-up between the old pals, Selena snidely commented: ‘Sorry I didn’t mention every person I know.’
In a TikTok comment that went instantly viral last month, Selena notably referred to Taylor rather than Francia as her ‘best friend.’
