As expected, Selena Gomez had to undergo a kidney transplant due to complications from lupus, a disease that has affected the singer for some years, and she continues to fight so that something so delicate is not a cause for jokes and ridicule.
Once again, a successful American television series decided to make a joke about Selena’s kidney transplant and once again needed to come out publicly criticizing this attitude from the producers and writers of the series. This time it was the Paramount + series “The Good Fight” which in one scene cited Selena’s kidney transplant as “a topic you can’t joke about” in a comment about how people “need permission to tell a joke“.
“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.“

The singer took advantage of the moment on the social network to publicize a campaign for people to become organ donors in the United States.
“My fans always have my back. LOVE YOU. If you are able to please sign up to be an organ donor“

In other Selena Gomez related news, is there a new song coming from the singer? American producer Kane Cooper confirmed, through Instagram Stories, that he has a song with the hitmaker like “De Una Vez”. He said the track is called “Sweet Karma” and it also features guest appearances by rappers Young Thug and PartyNextDoor.
The reveal was made by Kane Cooper by answering a box of questions. The strange thing is that he posted an art from the supposed collaboration and Young Thung’s name is misspelled. Appears as Youg Thug without the N. Is this association true or just a way to get attention? Kane Cooper said he will give all the details “soon.”
