What has Selena done that’s shady?

Shady isn't exactly the word I would use. I think what I said is that "[Selena's PR team has] patched over a lot of stuff that would have sunk a different artist’s career" and I do stand by that. I think Selena's team is very, very good, and that has allowed her to avoid some controversy that might otherwise have had an impact on her career.

For example, Selena Gomez has been a longtime member of the Hillsong Church, which many celebrities attend. Whenever Chris Pratt is mentioned online, I see someone bring up how he's a member of the "notoriously anti-LGBT Hillsong Church", but with Selena, the narrative is usually more like, "Selena's faith and connection to God is important to her."

The other one that comes to mind is the whole Francia Raisa kidney donation thing. She appears to have had a falling-out with her kidney donor, Francia Raisa, and the details around the donation are a bit sketchy.

At the time of the transplant, Selena said that, “[Francia] lived with me during this interesting time where my kidneys were just done. That was it, and I didn’t want to ask a single person in my life. The thought of asking someone to do that was really difficult for me. She volunteered and did it. And let alone someone wanting to volunteer, it is incredibly difficult to find a match. The fact that she was a match, I mean that’s unbelievable. That’s not real.” She also said that, "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."

For her part, Francia said that, "I am beyond grateful that God would trust me with something that not only saved a life, but changed mine in the process. This was part of our story, and we will share it soon, but what is important now is that this is not the only story." So the party line here is that Selena didn't want to ask anyone she knew to donate, that Francia offered, and that both of them feel "blessed" or "grateful" for what happened.

For a few years after the transplant, it seemed like they were on good terms. In 2017, Selena honored Francia at the Woman of the Year awards, 2019, they got matching tattoos, in 2021, she thanked Francia on World Kidney Day, and in 2022, they posted a TikTok together. It seems like they fell out after Selena said that, "my only friend in the industry really is Taylor [Swift]". Many people interpreted this as a slight towards Francia, who's also an actress, and Francia reacted to the article, writing: "Interesting" in a comment under it. Francia unfollowed Selena on Instagram soon after (but none of this makes a ton of sense to me, since I think Selena was talking about the music industry?). Francia may have also been upset that she wasn't mentioned in Selena's documentary, My Mind & Me, which largely focused on Selena's mental health journey.

The sketchy part to this is that Selena's doctors appear to have violated HIPAA by telling Selena that Francia was a match before they told Francia, which is a huge deal. Francia said that, "When I found out that I was a match, it wasn't the way I expected. One day, I got a phone call from Selena, and she's like, 'we're a match!' and I said, 'yaaaay...what? how do you know this?' I had a way that I wanted to tell her when I made that decision- I knew I was going to make that decision, I just needed that time. Like, it's a big thing! So I called my social worker and I was angry." If what Francia said is true, that's a huge violation of her rights. The potential donor is always informed of the match before the person who needs the donation and is given time to make their decision. The person who needs the donation is only told after the donor has agreed to donate. So there may have been some pressure on Francia to agree to donate that there wouldn't have otherwise been.

Getting into speculative territory, some (sketchy, tabloid) media outlets claim that Francia and Selena fell out over Selena's "unhealthy lifestyle choices" after the donation. Supposedly, an anonymous source claimed that, "Selena did the exact opposite of what she said she was going to do when she got well again. She said she was not going to drink anymore, but she did," and that Francia, "told her that she was just really making some unhealthy choices, and that she was concerned for her," which Selena took badly. (For context, it should be noted that people who have had kidney transplants are able to drink without any (additional) negative consequences- the NHS recommends that individuals who have had a kidney transplant "not drink more than 14 units of alcohol a week" and "spread their drinking over 3 or more days", which is the same advice that they give for everyone else.)

Anyway, my point about all of this is that whether it's true or not, whether Selena or Francia should have done anything differently, other actors would have totally had their careers ruined if it was suggested that they manipulated a friend into donating an organ to them and then ruined that organ with alcohol abuse. Selena's team did a really good job of crafting the narrative around her transplant and recovery, and making sure that any questions about how it happened never made it mainstream.

Then there's all the stuff we haven't heard about, but that you would probably expect. Selena has bipolar disorder with psychotic features and has been in mental health facilities four separate times. Given that, it's kind of surprising that there have never been any rumors about her with regard to her symptoms. There are no rumors of her being flighty, difficult to work with, arrogant, impulsive, rude, paranoid... even though symptoms of bipolar disorder must have been impacting her life significantly enough that she needed to be hospitalized. Again, I'm not trying to say that she is or isn't a certain way or that her symptoms do or don't impact her in a certain way- I'm just saying that I think her PR team is very good at what they do, and an actor in a similar situation with a worse PR team would probably have a much worse reputation than Selena does.

This is very much not anything new. Because we all know that Tom isn’t the only one on his Instagram and it’s harry and probably someoek from his team. But tomdayas have always refused to admit that. Even after that one time Tom flat out said on his Instagram story that harry posted the spidey trailer because Tom was flying.

But anyway. I was watching this uncharted interview from February and Tom was talking about how he didn’t know Chris Pratt was going to voice Mario. He said he didn’t know because he had been staying off social media the past few months. And this is right when tomdayas we’re loving the likes and other things happening 😂 tom was flat out saying it wasn’t him

I wonder if he even responded to her birthday post😂

EXCLUSIVE: Chris Pratt and Katherine Schwarzenegger are selling their six-bedroom Pacific Palisades villa for $32 million

Chris Pratt and Katherine Schwarzenegger List Luxurious Pacific Palisades Home for $32 Million Hollywood actor Chris Pratt and his wife, Katherine Schwarzenegger, have made a big move in the property market, putting their Pacific Palisades mansion up for sale at a whopping $32 million. This Mediterranean-style villa with its iconic red roof tiles and expansive picture windows is a real gem. Let's take a closer look. The house comes with six spacious bedroom suites, a full-size movie theater, a sauna, and even a basketball court for some friendly games. They've made some impressive renovations to the place over the last two years, and now they're looking to cash in on their investment. Chris Pratt, 44, and Katherine Schwarzenegger, 33, who tied the knot in 2019 and have two daughters, Lyla and Eloise, have called this place home since 2021. Before that, they spent two years tearing down and rebuilding the old house that stood on this spot since 1995. Pratt initially bought the property in 2018 for $15.6 million, and if they manage to sell it at the asking price, he'll more than double his investment. A Slice of Paradise Perched in the Pacific Palisades hills, this mansion offers breathtaking views of Santa Monica Bay. It features a large saltwater pool with a jacuzzi and an acre of meticulously landscaped grounds. Inside, the house is beautifully designed with a spacious kitchen, marble countertops, and a generous breakfast bar. Among the property's highlights are its six bedroom suites and a movie theater decked out with plush green velvet sofas. If you're into golf or wellness, they've got you covered. The couple installed a golf simulator and created a complete wellness experience with a teak wood spa featuring hot and cold plunge pools, a sauna, and a steam room. Love and Faith Chris Pratt and Katherine Schwarzenegger share not only a beautiful home but also a deep religious faith. They married in a lavish ceremony at the San Ysidro Ranch in Montecito, California, just a year after meeting. The star-studded guest list included Arnold Schwarzenegger, Maria Shriver, Rob Lowe, and director James Gunn. Their religious beliefs have been a topic of discussion, with Pratt revealing that he follows the Daniel diet, a dietary regimen based on the Old Testament, recommended by Pastor Chad Veach from Zoe Church. A Message of Acceptance This couple has faced some criticism for their church affiliations, with some accusing Zoe Church of being anti-LGBTQ. Pratt responded to the controversy, emphasizing his belief in love and acceptance for all. He advocates for less hate and more understanding in the world. In recent years, Chris and Katherine have stayed mostly out of the spotlight, especially since becoming parents. They continue to attend Zoe Church but lead a more low-key lifestyle. Family Moments Despite their busy lives, Chris and Katherine make time for family outings and celebrations. They were spotted dining with Katherine's mother, Maria Shriver, at a Santa Monica restaurant. Katherine, now a wellness blogger, frequently shares uplifting content on her Instagram, including photos with her horse. Their love for family shines through, and they are enjoying parenthood with daughters Eloise and Lyla. Chris Pratt, known for his roles in Jurassic World and Guardians of the Galaxy, occasionally shares humorous family moments on social media. As they embark on this new chapter in their lives, Chris Pratt and Katherine Schwarzenegger are leaving behind a beautiful piece of real estate, one that has witnessed their love story unfold.
