SELENA GOMEZ FANS CALL OUT THE GOOD FIGHT OVER KIDNEY TRANSPLANT JOKE
Selena Gomez fans weren't happy with The Good Fight after seeing a recent scene about the singer's kidney transplant and started tweeting "Respect Selena Gomez."
Selena Gomez fans are done with these same old jokes.
The singer's supporters recently took to Twitter to call out an episode of The Good Fight, which referenced the Disney alum's health battle. However, a source close to the show tells E! News, "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."
In season five, episode four, a comedy streaming executive Del (Wayne Brady) asks Liz (Audra McDonald) to conduct a sensitivity read on one of his comedians.
This leads to a conversation on comedy and cancel culture. During a discussion between Marissa (Sarah Steele), Jay (Nyambi Nyambi) and Jim (Ifadansi Rashad), Jay says it feels like you now "need a permission slip to tell a joke." So, Jim prints some joke permits. Jay then wonders if there are any topics that are off limits.
"Um, necrophilia?" Jim replies.
"No, that could be funny," Marissa responds.
"Autism," Jay says.
"Selena Gomez's kidney transplant," Jim states.
After seeing the scene, several of Gomez's fans began tweeting "Respect Selena Gomez."
"When will people stop doing this!!" one follower wrote, "RESPECT SELENA
GOMEZ."
Added another, "So we're usin Selena's kidney transplant as a trend? Multiple times has this happened in media, it needs to stop. #RespectSelena Gomez."
