Devotees of the "Good for You" singer took offence over the fourth episode of the legal drama's fifth season which aired last month (Jul21).
The storyline featured a discussion about the sort of inappropriate jokes which might get someone "cancelled," with characters suggesting such taboo topics as necrophilia, autism, and "Selena Gomez's kidney transplant."
Supporters of Selena, who underwent a kidney transplant in 2017 as part of her battle with lupus, are raging about the slight on social media, and a #RespectSelenaGomez hashtag is now trending.
