Not laughing. Selena Gomez reacted to The Good Fight poking fun at her kidney transplant after the show received backlash from the singer’s fans.

“I am not sure how writing jokes about organ transplants for television shows has become a thing but sadly it has apparently,” the former Disney Channel star, 29, wrote via Twitter on Tuesday, August 3. “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.”

The Wizards of Waverly Place alum gave her devoted followers a shout-out as well, after they rallied around her in the wake of the controversial joke.

“My fans always have my back. LOVE YOU,” she added. Gomez then shared a link to an organ donor page, asking people to “please sign up” if they are able.

The Paramount+ series made headlines after fans slammed the show for mentioning Gomez’s 2017 kidney transplant during the fourth episode of season 5, during a scene about cancel culture.

During the aforementioned episode, a streaming executive (played by Wayne Brady) asks Liz Reddick (Audra McDonald) to do a sensitivity read on a client. The conversation leads to the characters discussing cancel culture, and what should be off-limits.

A character named Jim (Ifádansi Rashad) kicks things off, suggesting, “Um, necrophilia?” might be a taboo topic to joke about. “No, that could be funny,” Marissa quips (Sarah Steele). “Autism,” Jay (Nyambi Nyambi) fires back.

Jim then counters with, “Selena Gomez’s kidney transplant.”

Tyler, The Creator Apologizes To Selena Gomez For Past Explicit Tweets On New Song
Site Updates     admin   Comments Off on Tyler, The Creator Apologizes To Selena Gomez For Past Explicit Tweets On New Song    Share:

Tyler, the Creator has contributed a new entry to the musical apology genre. In a song on his new album Call Me If You Get Lost, released Friday, the rapper apologizes to Selena Gomez for controversial, explicit tweets about the singer from several years ago.

On the song “Manifesto,” Tyler raps, “I was a teener, tweetin’ Selena crazy s— / Didn’t wanna offend her, apologize when I seen her / Back when I was tryna f— Bieber, Just-in.”

These lines seem to refer to a series of sexually explicit tweets about Gomez from 2010 and early 2011, when Tyler was 19 years old, and to Justin Bieber, who Gomez was dating at the time. (In one tweet from this time, the rapper wrote, “Justin Bieber And Selena Gomez Is F—ing Dating. F—.”)

In a 2013 radio interview with Power 106 Los Angeles, Tyler said of Gomez, “We don’t really get along. She don’t like me. We don’t like each other. ‘Cause [I’m] kicking it with Justin [Bieber], like that’s my homeboy. She always be mean muggin’ me. Like why are you hating on me?”

Tyler was known as a provocateur at that point in his career, and was frequently criticized for what many observers called homophobic and misogynistic lyrics, including depictions of violence against women. His more recent albums have shifted away from this, with more introspective and personal lyrics.

Call Me If You Get Lost is now available on streaming platforms and other music services.
