That was far more obviously off-color, but The Good Fight definitely didn’t need to name-check Gomez.
According to a source at The Hollywood Reporter,The Good Fight’s scene in question was intended to show how those kinds of jokes are not okay, as it was talking about cancel culture.
In last year’s Saved By the Bell reboot on Peacock, two students discussed the singer’s transplant jokingly, and in the same episode, graffiti can be seen in the school’s hallway that says “Does Selena Gomez even have a kidney?”
Although the scene may have been taken out of context, even though the context was pretty specifically about it being a bad topic, this isn’t the first time Selena Gomez’s kidney transplant was mentioned on TV in a way that caused controversy.
