Selena Gomez
Actor-singer Selena Gomez has slammed the makers of The Good Fight for making fun of her kidney transplant on the show.
"I am not sure how writing jokes about organ transplants for television shows has become a thing but sadly it has. 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 tweeted on Wednesday.

The Feel me hitmaker's tweet comes days after her fans pointed out a scene on the ongoing show The Good Fight where makers allegedly made a joke about the former's kidney transplant, which she received in 2017 amid her battle with lupus.
After seeing her fans criticising the particular episode, Gomez thanked them for their support. Mocking Gomez's health conditions has not happened for the first time. Peacock's Saved by the Bell reboot was criticised for the same offense late last year. In response, Peacock apologised for making light of the singer's health struggles, in addition to making a donation to The Selena Gomez Fund for Lupus Research at USC.
