Another streaming show has made a joke about Selena Gomez’s kidney transplant and the singer is not happy.
In a recent episode of The Good Fight on Paramount+, two characters discuss needing “a permission slip to tell a joke” and add that “Selena Gomez’s kidney transplant” is one of the topics that is completely off-limits.
The singer addressed the “tasteless” line on Twitter Tuesday (Aug. 3rd) writing, “I am not sure how writing jokes about organ transplants for television shows has become a thing but sadly it has apparently. I hope in the next writer’s room when one of these tasteless jokes are presented it’s called out immediately and doesn’t make it on air.’
She added, “My fans always have my back. LOVE YOU,” before encouraging her followers to sign up to become organ donors.
In November 2020, Peacock and Saved By The Bell producers issued an apology and made a donation to Gomez's Fund for Lupus Research at USC after the show's comments about the singer's kidney transplant angered fans.
