Gomez has the autoimmune disease lupus.
Due to complications from the disease, she got a kidney transplant in 2017 (viaHealthline).
Her donor washer friend Francia Raisa, an actor you may recognize from “Grown-ish.”
Gomez’s fans were, to put it mildly,not happy about that.

It was never our intention to make light of Selena’s health.
You are so brave and your selfless act is very much appreciated and valued!”
