In a recent episode of “The Good Fight,” two characters have a conversation about what someone can joke about (via Billboard). Jay, played by Nyambi Nyambi, asks what topics are unacceptable to kid about. Jim, played by Ifadansi Rashad, says “Selena Gomez’s kidney transplant.” Gomez wasn’t about to let that slide without comment.
Gomez took to Twitter to react to the scene, writing, “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.” She also tweeted a link to where you can sign up for organ donation and wrote, “My fans always have my back. LOVE YOU. If you are able to please sign up to be an organ donor.” Gomez has the autoimmune disease lupus. Due to complications from the disease, she got a kidney transplant in 2017 (via Healthline). Her donor was her friend Francia Raisa, an actor you may recognize from “Grown-ish.”
