| Dang she was 29 when she donated a kidney. That’s super generous but also a huge health risk to herself, no? Now she has to go with one kidney for the rest of her long life. |
+1 It's hard enough to get organ donors to sign up without people spreading mistruths. In countries where it's not illegal to sell organs, you get all sorts of predatory behavior where poor people give up their organs to feed their families. |
| Between this thread and the Taylor Swift thread, I’ve come to the conclusion that the people that have negative things to say about these celebrities have a more para social relationship with them than their actual fans. It’s wild the things that people think they know about these about the celebrities. |
I wouldn't expect the friendship. But I would expect and want them to treat their body like a temple. |
Odd expectation. |
The royal threads too. I am shocked at how the haters know every appearance they've done and every organization they are involved in. |
| I think the biggest thing about this is if you follow the story the donation process was handled in an extremely unethical process. Selena was informed that they were a match before francia was which is not how it is supposed to work. This basically allowed Selena to use their relationship to influence her deciding to donate (as opposed to what normally happens which is the donor can refuse and the person needing the organ is told they aren’t a match). So she got an organ from inappropriately leveraging the friendship and now it’s a gift no friendship required. |
+1 this isn't "favors" like others on this chain are talking about. Giving someone $ is different, you can earn more. This is a major medical decision that affects the donor and makes them vulnerable for the rest of their life. It's unique in that the organ (unlike $) couldn't have come from just anyone else. Does Selena have XYZ obligations to her? Opinions can differ but don't underplay what this was. |
| Is Benny Blanco also a match? Is he lined up as her next donor? That would be very interesting. |
Don't go pickin' a booger, I mean on Booger now! |
They are. It's nice Francia is being polite about this in public and maybe she has gotten over it, but the video where she details how it happened seems really sketchy. |
It is not "widely known." I follow celeb gossip and 1) I don't think I've seen this rumor circulate and 2) Francia has been a steady, working actress for years. This is not meant to be an insult, but nothing in her body of work post-2017 screams to me, "Wow, Selena must've really given her the leg-up because look at how much her career changed at this point." |
It'd be interesting to me if Taylor Swift were. After all, she's her only friend in the industry. |
? These celebs are the ones who aired out their interpersonal drama, what do you expect? When Selena mentioned Taylor was her only friend in the industry, Francia commented something expressing her disapproval, and then Selena replied saying something along the lines of "Sorry I didn't mention everyone I know." |
If I were to give interviews, I'd probably be saying something dumb every time, like trying to boost a friend and then hurting another by accident. We really have no idea what goes on between the scenes. |
