Streaming service says sorry for jokes about illness Selena Gomez | Entertainment

entertainment">An episode that appeared on Wednesday shows two characters walking around school talking about Selena’s transplant. For example, a girl says she thinks the singer received a kidney from her ex Justin Bieber, but her classmate is convinced it Demi Lovato used to be. Selena has lost contact with both. It is also written in graffiti on the school wall: ‘Does Selena Gomez have kidneys?’.

entertainment">That things were being light on the health of Selena, who has lupus and got a new kidney from her best friend in 2017 France Raisa, did not go down well with fans. They shared their displeasure on Twitter and on Saturday the hashtag #RespectSelenaGomez was trending. “Selena almost died, jokes about her kidney transplant are NOT FUNNY,” wrote one fan. “Joking about someone’s illness is never funny. It’s so mean and unfair. Selena doesn’t deserve that and no one else deserves that ”, said another.

entertainment">Selena herself has not yet responded to the fuss, but Peacock says she has contacted her team to apologize. The streaming service also makes a donation to the singer’s fund that contributes to research into lupus.
