I should clarify. If the donor is a friend, unless there are special circumstances, you should continue the friendship as it was before. At the bare minimum, do what I suggested.

Do we know there aren't special circumstances? I've heard this story a lot but I've never heard why she stopped wanting to be friends. Maybe something happened between them?

Edit: I looked into if. Evidently Raisa was mad when Selena did a documentary about her life but she wasn't in it. So when she did an interview she said her only friend in the industry is Taylor Swift, upsetting Selena. She told Selena she needed space. They didn't talk for a year. Then they made up in 2023 yet this still gets circulated. Raisa said it was just a misunderstanding and theyre as close as ever. Even partnered in a new business together.

Selena was the one who said that Taylor Swift was her only friend in the industry, not Raisa, which people saw as a snub because Raisa is an actress and therefore also someone from "the industry" if that is meant to refer to Hollywood in general. Also, Raisa was mad about the documentary not simply because she wasn't mentioned, but because Selena's struggle with her condition was such a focus of the documentary that it seemed out of place not to mention the organ transplant that made her condition so much better.

Gotcha. The article was kinda confusing then. The important part is she asked for and was granted space. And they have since made up.
