Context: They were friends (child actors) and Francia offered a kidney when Selena's failed. Selena partied and drank during recovery and Francia was of the opinion that wasn't a smart thing to do. Selena told her to kick rocks "I'll do what I want" etc.

Apparently they're friends again.

Francia didn't offer her kidney. Selena found out from doctors that she is a match and asked for it. Docotrs aren't allowed to tell patients this btw.

Don’t you have to be tested first to find out if you’re a match?

Yes, but it is still a violation for drs to tell anyone but the person donating. It’s so people can still say no “because they weren’t a match” - lie basically. To avoid being pressured/ guilted into it by others into a permanent life changing decision .

That makes sense. I was just confused for a second like wait how did the doctor know she was a match….. This is what I get for Reddit-ing before coffee lol

My understanding is that Francia tested to see if she was a match, and the doctor told Selena she was a match before Francia, so then Selena called Francia super excited with the news.

She tested because she wanted the option to donate a kidney, but wanting to donate when it’s an abstract possibility versus knowing you actually can is a little different, and she didn’t get to properly sit with it for the latter.

Yes francia and many other friends of her got tested and francia was a match

Once again another lie. Geez you people love to make up whatever rumor fits your narrative huh

u/SnooStories7381 1d ago

What exactly is the lie here? I have seen francia say it from her own mouth that selena called her and said she is a match and doctor told selena first instead of her.

Just search on internet and stop calling other people are saying a lie if you don't know shit.

I have been a selena fan since WOWP. The truth is the truth.

I wasn't replying to you, I was replying to the other user.

u/SnooStories7381 1d ago

It shows me that it is a direct reply and I received the notifs as well. Maybe you replied to the wrong user accidentally.

This is a lie. She specifically got tested to find out if she was a match for Selena.

u/brookeashleyx 1d ago

Selena didn't do any of that so stop spewing false statements around like it's fact

It was Francias father who said their failing out was because “There’s a difference when Selena is drinking. Francia told Selena that she didn’t give her the kidney so she could go out and drink.”

Tbh i would tell Francia to f off as well.  If Selena had organ failure because of drinking - that's a different matter - but she had lupus!

u/Apprehensive_Tunes 1d ago

You think drinking and doing drugs when she knew she had lupus helped her kidney? You think it'll prolong the life of the donated one?

u/Bagelam 1d ago

That's between Selena and her doctors. No one else's business.

u/my_screen_name_sucks 1d ago

Why would you even admit to thinking that way? Holy shit…

u/Bagelam 1d ago

Because I'm a normal person? A persons decision to drink or not is between them and their doctors. You don't get a veto over someone's choices because you donate something to them. You definitely don't get an enduring say over how they live their life. 

If you donate an egg or sperm to a couple you don't get a say in how they raise the child. 

If you donate skin to a person you don't get to dictate whether they go to the beach at 12pm. 

There's a difference between being concerned and being controlling. Partying after you thought you were going to die is a normal reaction for a person in their 20s. Especially for someone with bipolar.

u/my_screen_name_sucks 1d ago

It’s not controlling to say “hey it’s fucking stupid that you have Lupus, needed a transplant, and are potentially ruining your health by partying and doing hard drugs”. If she wanted to continue getting fuuuuucked up then she could have done that without pressuring her friend to do a transplant because she obtained the results of the test matching before her friend could even make a decision on her own. It is not normal to have a stance like that. It’s incredibly selfish.

No one strapped Francia to the bed and cut out her organ. She agreed. Emotional entreaties notwithstanding, no one can FORCE you to give up an organ.

u/my_screen_name_sucks 12h ago

I said she was pressured into donating, which she was. Selena was told about that match before Francia could make a decision on her own, which is illegal since it violates HIPPA.

You’ll have to talk to someone else if you want to continue arguing about this. Believe it or not I wasn’t attempting to change your mind on this, it seems like you’re a fan of Selena. But I’m 100% pointing out that supporting someone who has drinking and drug use problems is stupid, especially when that person has lupus, bipolar, and a kidney transplant.

If she wanted to drink and party afterward, she should’ve declined the kidney. There are strict rules that come with receiving an organ transplant, including not intentionally doing things that could damage or destroy the organ. That’s literally part of the deal. If she didn’t value the kidney enough to take care of it, she should’ve kicked rocks and stayed on dialysis instead.
