Suki Waterhouse called out the reboot of "Gossip Girl" for a joke they made about her and her relationship with Robert Pattinson.

Despite being fictional, the "Gossip Girl" series makes references to real-life celebrities and pop culture. In a recent episode, Luna (Zión Moreno) compares Zoya's (Whitney Peak) relationship to Waterhouse and Pattinson who have been dating since 2018.

Luna said: "When are you going to get it? As far as the press is concerned, he's R Patz and you're Suki Nobody."

Waterhouse took offence to this and posted two now-deleted tweets (captured via The Independent) about the gag. In the first, the model wrote: "Another day to be reminded that women can also be the patriarchy," tagging a writer on the show, Lila Feinberg, and the official "Gossip Girl" account.

She then added: "Seeing critiques of the patriarchy and sexism, then I get name-checked as somebody's nobody girlfriend. Make it make sense."

Insider has reached out to HBO Max for a comment.

This is not the first time a celebrity has lashed out at a tv series joking about them.

In March, Taylor Swift condemned Netflix for its series "Ginny & Georgia" making a joke about her dating life. She wrote: "Hey Ginny & Georgia, 2010 called and it wants its lazy, deeply sexist joke back. How about we stop degrading hard-working women by defining this horse s--- as FuNnY."

Influencer Olivia Jade also responded to a line made in the "Gossip Girl" reboot's pilot claiming Jade gained followers when her mother, Lori Loughlin, went to jail following the college admissions scandal.

Jade posted a clip on TikTok of the scene with the caption, "no I didn't."
