that she received in 2017.

A
scene that aired on the law drama last month featured some of the characters
debating about what they could and could not joke about and Gomez’s transplant was
put in the latter category. Gomez’s fans then sent “RESPECT SELENA
GOMEZ” trending, reports Yahoo.

Selena says that she is “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 further said.

The ‘Feel me’ hitmaker’s tweet comes days after her fans pointed out about the scene. Selena received  the transplant in 2017 amid her battle with lupus, reports The Hollywood Reporter.

She
also thanked her dedicated fans, and asked them to
sign up to be organ donors.

“My fans always have my back. Love you,” she added, along with dropping a link to sign up to be an organ donor,” she wrote.

Mocking Gomez’s health conditions has not happened for the first time. Peacock’s ‘Saved by the Bell’ reboot was criticised for the same offense late last year. In response, Peacock apologised for making light of Gomez’s health struggles, in addition to making a donation to The Selena Gomez Fund for Lupus Research at USC

After
blowback from Gomez’s supporters, the network apologized and removed the scene.
They also promised to make a donation to the Selena Gomez Fund for Lupus
Research at the University of Southern California.
