One thing that Selena Gomez can never forget is the fact that she had lupus and the singer got her kidney transplant done. Her bestie Francia Raisa saved her life by donating one kidney. Well, this matter is back in the headlines after the show Saved By The Bell reboot created a mockery about it all.
Selena Gomez’s fans were up in arms on social media after the newly rebooted show featured a joke about her 2017 kidney transplant. And her good friend Francia, who donated her kidney to her, shared her reaction to the joke on social media on Saturday.
We already told you that Selena Gomez’s Bff Francia Raisa tweeted on the matter. She wrote, “Appreciate the apology but let’s not forget about the donors that potentially felt offended and dismissed from the spray paint written on the wall.”

The latest reports suggest Selena Gomez’s Francia confirmed that producers from the high school comedy series had apologized to her for the joke. Although she still worried it might be hurtful to other people who had donated organs or received them.
“Some of the cast and producers have reached out to me personally to apologize for this, and I truly appreciate that,” Francia Raisa wrote in her Instagram stories. She further wrote, “But I do want to acknowledge that this public apology from the network should acknowledge the donors that could have been offended by this. It’s not about me; it’s about acknowledging the great role that donors play.”
