`Respect Selena Gomez` was trending on Twitter Saturday as fans admonished Peacock's new `Saved by the Bell` reboot over references to the actor and singer's kidney transplant.

Despite Gomez's public statement that she had received a transplant from her close friend, actor Francia Raísa, one scene from episode six of the series features two Bayside High students speculating about the identity of the donor.

`I know for a fact that Selena Gomez's kidney donor was Justin Bieber's mom. God, I wish that I had my phone so that I could prove it,` one student says. `Prove what?` the other replies. `That you're an idiot? It was Demi Lovato's kidney. They're best friends, like you and I were.`

`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,` the statement reads.

In 2017, Gomez revealed she underwent a kidney transplant due to her lupus diagnosis, which she made public in 2015 and for which she was previously undergoing chemotherapy.
