Raisa stated:
“I know she’s getting married, and I’m very happy for her. She has her life, and she’s already a billionaire. I’m grateful that I could do that for her.”
During the interview, Raisa also addressed people who questioned how Gomez has lived her life since the kidney transplant.
She explained that donating an organ is a selfless act, not something that comes with conditions.
She said:
“From the beginning, the doctors told me, it’s a donation. If you donate to St. Jude, you don’t call later to ask what they did with your dollar. It’s something nice I was able to do, and I’m grateful that I’m alive and could save a life.”
When pressed about reports that she was angry at Gomez for allegedly smoking or neglecting her health, Raisa dismissed the claims outright.
She stated:
“What you’re asking me is nonsense that’s been in the media. There are too many rumours. I’ve never said anything. When that story came out, I wasn’t even aware of it.”
She added that both she and Gomez have chosen not to speak publicly about the alleged rift, leaving fans to speculate.
She added:
“No one knows what’s going on, and neither she nor I are talking about it. Maybe one day we will address it.”
