Usually a person’s health is no laughing matter.
But apparently this isn’t true for the newSaved by the Bellreboot.
No, it’s not because Screech isn’t making a cameo.
Instead, the script sees characters making over jokes about Selena Gomez’s kidney transplant (viaPeople).
The singer and actress received a kidney transplant in 2017 due to complications from lupus (viaKidney.org).
And finally, there aren’t words to describe how I can possibly thank my beautiful friend Francia Raisa.
She gave me the ultimate gift and sacrifice by donating her kidney to me.
I am incredibly blessed."
So how didSaved by the Bellpossibly find humor in this situation?
God I wish that I had my phone so I could prove it."
Of course, we know from the singer’s own admission that her donor is her dear friend.
Meanwhile, in response to the comment, another character on the show says, “Prove what?
That you’re an idiot.
It was Demi Lovato’s kidney.
They’re best friends, like you and I were.”
“It’s the disrespect for me.
When did it become comical to make fun of ANYONE w/ an autoimmune disease that required life-saving surgery?”
AnothertweetedaboutSaved by the Bell, “If you are cruel and disrespectful you should watch this.”
It was never our intention to make light of Selena’s health.
