If you’ve seen Selena Gomez’s documentary My Mind and Me (or at least you were on TikTok when it came out and saw everyone was talking about it), then you’ve probably heard about the drama surrounding her BFF Raquelle Stevens.
ICYMI, after watching Sel’s documentary when it came out in November 2022, many fans had some opinions on Raquelle, particularly on the way she’s shown treating Selena over the years that the film took place. Fans shared on social media that she’s harsh and not caring enough toward Sel. Recently, while promoting her new book The Sunshine Mind: 100 Days to Finding the Hope and Joy You Want with Tanya Radon on the Chicks in the Office podcast, Raquelle finally spoke out on the situation.
“Here’s the thing. I know anytime you do anything public in life, right, you’re subject to opinions of other people. You just don’t even go there if you’re not willing to be able to take the heat. The biggest thing for me was that the documentary was a beautiful, beautiful piece of work that Selena so vulnerably shared with the world. It was her life story and part of what was included in that documentary was our friendship, which is special and it’s honest and it’s real,” Raquelle said.
“When your inner life is strong and you are living a life with integrity, you sleep peacefully every single night,” she continued. “And it doesn’t matter what you face, what you go through—there’s a peace that comes with living a life of integrity, and so I really am secure in who I am. I know the kind of friend that I am. Anyone really could say anything, but I have a peace that is unshakable.”
Apparently, “everything is not what it seems” and there are clearly no hard feelings between the two, as Raquelle actually asked Selena to write the foreword for her book. “Raquelle is like my sister and has been one of my closest friends for over a decade now. I can’t think of a single word that would describe her better than bright,” Selena wrote. How sweet is that?
Sel also took to Insta to celebrate Raquelle and her new book release. “This woman has changed my life and now her words can be shared with the world and hopefully help others. Alongside the sweetest @tanyarad! SO proud of you @raquellestevens—you are my forever therapist, friend, and family. Love you, angel,” she wrote in the caption.
