Selena Gomez neko vrijeme nije bilo u javnosti, a kasnije je otkrila da je razlog tomu njezina bolest. Naime, pjevačica i glumica zbog Lupusa je završila na transplataciji bubrega, jer su njezini otkazali. A novu priliku za život bez dijalize, dala joj je prijateljica Francia Raisa. Njih dvije prvi su put javno pričale o toj temi. Gostovale su u emisiji Today, a intervju će se emitirati u djelovima. "Bilo je to pitanje života ili smrti. Moji bubrezi su otkazali, to je bilo to", kazala je Selena, brišući suze. "Došla sam kući i ona se javila (da mi želi donirati bubreg). Ja nisam htjela pitati nijednu osobu u svom životu za takvo nešto", dodala je nadalje, a zatim i na pitanje novinarke smatra li da joj je Francia spasila život, odgovorila: "Ona mi i jest spasila život". Djelić tog razgovora objavljen je na Instagramu Today showa, a prvi dio intervjua bit će emitiran u ponedjeljak.

Da je bila na transplataciji, Selena je otkrila sredinom rujna objavom fotografije iz bolnice.

I’m very aware some of my fans had noticed I was laying low for part of the summer and questioning why I wasn’t promoting my new music, which I was extremely proud of. So I found out I needed to get a kidney transplant due to my Lupus and was recovering. It was what I needed to do for my overall health. I honestly look forward to sharing with you, soon my journey through these past several months as I have always wanted to do with you. Until then I want to publicly thank my family and incredible team of doctors for everything they have done for me prior to and post-surgery. And finally, 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. I love you so much sis. Lupus continues to be very misunderstood but progress is being made.
