Selena Gomez calls out The Good Fight for 'tasteless joke' about her kidney transplant

• Selena Gomez has called out the legal drama The Good Fight for their 'tasteless joke' about her kidney transplant.
• "I am not sure how writing jokes about organ transplants for television shows has become a thing, but sadly it has apparently," wrote the singer on Twitter.
• This is not the first time her transplant was referenced in a show. Producers of Saved by the Bell did the same and apologised to the singer.

Selena Gomez responded on Twitter to a joke about her kidney transplant on the drama series The Good Fight.

Variety reports that characters brainstorm joke ideas for a TV executive in a recent episode of the legal drama. The topics the group decide on include necrophilia, autism and 'Selena Gomez's kidney transplant.'

Fans of the singer took to social media to slam the show.

On Tuesday, the 29-year-old wrote on Twitter: "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."

Selena also thanked her fans, who always have her back.

A source close to the production told The Hollywood Reporter: "If you watch the episode in full, the reference to Gomez is part of a discussion the characters are having about topics that are not okay to make fun of and the idea of cancel culture and being cancelled for telling a bad joke. The reference is that her transplant is not something you can joke about."

This is not the first time her transplant was referenced in a show. In November last year, the producers of Saved By the Bell apologised to the Same Old Love singer after making a joke about her kidney transplant.
