MANILA, Philippines — International pop star Selena Gomez called out TV series “The Good Fight” for referencing her kidney transplant.Â
In the fourth episode of the comedy series, a character asks what topics are off-limits. The group responded with necrophilia, autism and “Selena Gomez’s kidney transplant.”
The episode received heavy backlash on social media from Selena’s fans from around the globe.Â
The pop star also took to her social media to address the issue.
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.
