On Saturday, scores of Twitter users expressed their disappointment in the Peacock series and tweeted out the phrase “RESPECT SELENA GOMEZ” to show their support for the “Lose You To Love Me” singer.
“Making fun about someone’s disease will never be funny. Respect Selena Gomez,” one Twitter user said on the issue. The episode in question features a couple of Bayside High besties gossiping about the latest in pop culture. However, after students’ phones are taken away, the two girls have no way of checking their sources when it comes to knowing who gave Gomez her much-needed kidney back in 2017 to treat her Lupus.
While the joke was meant to showcase the importance of technology in the students’ personal lives, it didn’t seem to land well among the singer’s fans. As a result of the backlash following the series’ Thanksgiving premiere, Peacock has issued an apology and a donation for the singer’s Lupus research fund.’s streaming platform shared in a statement. “We have been in touch with her team and will be making a donation to her charity, The Selena Gomez Fund for Lupus Research at USC.
Can anybody please send me any pic of the jokes that were made on Selena.... I also want to prove some haters
I saw the clip and don't see a big deal. Before you fools say anything, I'm very familiar with lupus and ESRD or renalfailure as well as peritonialdialysis...oh and vasculitus. It was a silly little joke. Move on!

Good RESPECT SELENA GOMEZ
Animaniacs and now Saved by Bell, because everything has to be politically correct?
They might want to go ahead and review all of their episodes while they’re at it. Obviously the writers are not mature enough to write smart comedy that isn’t offensive.
They so need to take out this scene as that’s not something to joke about at all and completely erase that awful black graffiti off the wall by editing it out & removing it out of the episode now. Good on Peacock for realizing this major mistake & for apologizing to Selena Gomez!
It’s bad policy to apologize for a joke. By definition jokes are not to be taken seriously. When we let those who do control the parameters of artistic discourse we inhibit and diminish our culture. We end up with a bland culture of nice, a result to which we are well on the way.
Well dayum
😢Why would anyone say anything negative towards anyone life & death surgery 🙏🏽♥️
