“The Good Fight” joke over Selena Gomez‘ 2017 kidney transplant has met with backlash from the singer as well as her fans.

“I am not sure how writing jokes about organ transplants for television shows has become a thing but sadly it has apparently,” she wrote on Twitter on Tuesday, referring to the fourth episode of season 5 of the Paramount+ legal drama, where characters discussed “Selena Gomez’s kidney transplant” as a topic deemed to be taboo.
