Lets try this in the same area…

// Get the total number of friendships

$total_friends = $wpdb->get_var( $wpdb->prepare( "SELECT count(id) FROM {". $bp->friends->table_name ."} WHERE (friend_user_id IN (". $filtered_friends .") AND initiator_user_id = %d) OR (initiator_user_id IN (". $filtered_friends .") AND friend_user_id = %d)", $user_id, $user_id ) );

I should also ask if you’re using any custom or particular plugins or modifications to your website, even in your functions.php. Just trying to rule everything out if we can.
