This isn't her first show or time to mention the singer's 2017 kidney transplant. She received it in the midst of her battle with Lupus. The scenes in which students gossiped about who donated the kidney and graffiti that said "Does Selena Gomez Even have a Kidney?" were criticized by the reboot of 'Saved by the Bell."

Following the backlash, Peacock and UTV's executive producers issued an apology. The scenes were then removed as per E! News. It was not our intention to make light about Selena's condition, but we have spoken with her team."
