Selena Gomez has responded angrily to a joke made about her kidney transplant on the drama series The Good Fight. Fans brought a scene in the fourth episode of the most recent season of the legal drama to her attention via social media. In it, characters discuss cancel culture and joke permits, with one noting that they wrote a joke about the star s 2017 kidney transplant. I am not sure how writing jokes about organ transplants for television shows has become a thing but sadly it has apparently, the Lose You to Love Me hitmaker tweeted furiously in response. 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.

US actress and singer Selena Gomez has criticised The Good Fight for being the latest TV show to make tasteless jokes 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, she wrote.
Last year, Saved By The Bell said sorry for a joke about her 2017 operation.
In February, a Chinese variety show apologised for editing a post-surgery photo of the former Disney star. 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, Gomez added.
