Selena Gomez's low level of engagement in promotion has been a topic of concern amongst her fans. However, the reveal of her kidney transplant on Thursday (September 14) has shocked followers and enlightened them as to why she has kept quiet in the last year. In an Instagram post, the pop titan revealed that she underwent the transplant due to her Lupus, courtesy of her friend/actress Francia Raisa (The Secret Life of the American Teenager), who donated her kidney.
Fans of all kinds took to social media to commend the starlet for her brave confession and we couldn't be happier to see fandoms of all kinds unite for a positive cause. Take a look at some of the reactions to Gomez's reveal below.
