‘White Lotus’ star Aimee Lou Wood slams 'SNL' for mocking her in skit
Share and Follow

Aimee Lou Wood isn’t laughing at “Saturday Night Live.”

The 31-year-old “White Lotus” actress called out the sketch comedy show on Sunday for how she was depicted in Saturday’s “The White Potus” skit.

Sarah Sherman portrayed an exaggerated version of Wood’s character from the HBO show, Chelsea, in the sketch. This portrayal involved putting on a British accent and wearing prosthetic teeth.

In a post shared on her Instagram Stories, Wood wrote, “I did find the SNL thing mean and unfunny.”

Wood expressed disappointment in another slide, stating, “Such a shame cuz I had such a great time watching it a couple weeks ago. Yes, take the piss for sure – that’s what the show is about – but there must be a cleverer, more nuanced, less cheap way?”

Wood added, “On a positive note, everyone is agreeing with me about it so I’m glad I said something instead of going in on myself.”

The “Sex Education” star then shared several screenshots of fans DMs that supported her stance against the sketch.

“Omg I’ve got THOUSANDS of messages in agreement with me since posting that,” she wrote. “Thanks guys. Glad I said something.”

Two hours after her initial posts, Wood wrote, “I’ve had apologies from SNL.”

A rep for “SNL” did not get back to The Post.

The “SNL” sketch hilariously poked fun at Donald Trump and his tariffs by parodying the characters from the third season of “The White Lotus.” The cast included James Austin Johnson as Trump, Chloe Fineman as Melania Trump, Mikey Day as Donald Trump Jr., Scarlett Johansson as Ivanka Trump, and Jon Hamm as Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

Wood has said before that she doesn’t enjoy the viral chatter about her teeth.

“It makes me really happy that it’s symbolizing rebellion and freedom, but there’s a limit,” the British star told GQ earlier this month. “The whole conversation is just about my teeth, and it makes me a bit sad because I’m not getting to talk about my work.”

“They think it’s nice because they’re not criticizing,” Wood continued. “And, I have to go there… I don’t know if it was a man would we be talking about it this much? It’s still going on about a woman’s appearance.”

Wood previously opened up more about how her teeth have shaped her self-confidence since she was a kid in a March 3 Instagram video.

“A big thing for me growing up was my mouth,” she said, “because it was the thing that everyone pointed out, and it was the thing that made me different.”

“Playing loads of different characters has really helped with my self-confidence surrounding beauty. I’ve had to surrender control a lot,” she added. “The more that you can surrender, the more beautiful you feel.”
