It takes a lot to get anything past Selena Gomez's army of diehard fans. So, when some drama went down online recently between Selena and her longtime friend, Francia Raisa, the fans didn't miss a beat.

It all started when E! News shared a quote from Gomez on its Instagram about Taylor Swift being her "only friend in the industry." It didn't take long for eagle-eyed fans to notice that Raisa commented, "Interesting," on the post before quickly deleting it.

In fairness to Selena, she didn't specify which industry she was referring to. Many assume she meant the music industry, which would make sense since Raisa is an actress.

However, it's understandable that Francia might take offense to such a comment. After all, she has been friends with Gomez for many years and even donated one of her kidneys to Selena back in 2017.

At the time, Selena publicly thanked Francia for her kind act, writing, "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," Selena continued. "I love you so much, sis.”

After the E! News post, fans were quick to point out that Francia is no longer following Selena on Instagram. Of course, it didn't escape them that Raisa was not mentioned in Gomez's My Mind and Me documentary either.

When Selena responded to a TikTok about the drama, saying, "Sorry I didn't mention every person I know," of course, fans immediately screenshotted and reshared it. Keep scrolling for all the details.

After everything they've been through, it would be very sad if Francia and Selena can't get past this. But, hey, at least she still has Taylor!

What do you make of all this? Do you think Selena was being dismissive of Francia with her comment, or did Francia overreact entirely?

Either way, we hope they can make up and repair their relationship. They've been through too much together to throw all those years of friendship away.

We would love to hear your opinions on this. You can share your thoughts with us in the comment section.
