During the weekend, Selanators (and, honestly, just the internet in general) were on full attack mode after the Saved by the Bell reboot made a tasteless joke about Selena’s kidney transplant. During a recent episode, several characters debate about who Selena’s kidney donor was, and the sentence “does Selena Gomez even have a kidney?” is seen on a wall.

While Selena hasn’t commented on the episode, actress Francia Raísa—who was Selena’s BFF & kidney donor—did respond to the show’s recent apology. She tweeted, “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.”

Her tweet came as Saved By the Bell gave an apologetic statement to Today, saying they will make a donation to Selena’s charity: “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.”
Sending love to Selena and Francia.
