Producers of the Saved By the Bell re-boot had to issue an apology after a joke about Selena Gomez upset fans.
They referenced Selena’s kidney transplant in not one, but two scenes in the show.
They were joking about who her kidney donor was, with one of the characters saying it was Justin Bieber’s mom.
In another scene viewers saw “Does Selena Gomez Even Have A Kidney” in graffiti on the walls.
a tv show called "saved by the bell" has "does selena gomez even have a kidney?" written on the wall. this is so disgusting and unnecessary. selena doesn't deserve this.

“We apologize. It was never our intention to make light of Selena’s health. 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.”
