Francia Raisais opening up about the impact online bullying is having on her.
“I think the one that probably hurt the most was, ‘I hope someone goes up your p—y and rips out your other kidney, you f —ing whore,’ " Raisa toldTMZ.
“The only thing I’m going to say is in no way, shape or form does anyone condone bullying, especially Selena,” theHow I Met Your Fatherstar continued. “She literally has a whole nonprofit dedicated tomental health[Rare Impact Fund], and I believeRare Beautyeven just had an event for mental health. So the fact that I’m now being bullied as I am, it’s messing with me mentally.”
“To me, it’s not what anyone wants for someone. She’s literally out there saying, ‘Please stop,’ so I don’t understand why it’s not stopping — not just for me, but others that are also being antagonized online,” she added.

She continued, “I understand that that doesn’t happen for a lot of people, and I know the outcome of some of those situations and how serious they are, so I do not take it lightly that it’s happened to me that way.”
