How Aimee Lou Wood feels about 'SNL' comedian parodying her in 'White Lotus' skit

Aimee Lou Wood is setting the record straight after slamming a “Saturday Night Live” skit parodying her.

The actress made it clear that she does not hold any negative feelings towards Sarah Sherman, the comedian who depicted her using fake teeth in a recent “White Potus” skit.

“Not @sarahsquirm’s fault x,” the actress, 31, wrote over a Sunday selfie via Instagram Stories.

She noted, “Not hating on her, hating on the concept x.”

Sherman, who has yet to publicly address Wood’s negative reaction to her portrayal, was the only comedian in the skit not impersonating a politician and a “White Lotus” character.

The 32-year-old acted as Chelsea while her scene partner, Jon Hamm, channeled Walton Goggins’ character, Rick, as Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

When Hamm, 54, mentioned taking “all the fluoride out of the drinking water,” Sherman asked, “Fluoride? What’s that?”

Wood called this “mean and unfunny,” insisting there must have been a “cleverer, more nuanced, less cheap” angle to take.

“I actually love being taken the piss out of when it’s clever and in good spirits,” she explained. “But the joke was about fluoride. I have big gap teeth not bad teeth.

“I don’t mind caricature — I understand that’s what ‘SNL’ is,” the “Sex Education” alum continued. “But the rest of the skit was punching up and I/Chelsea was the only one punched down on.”

She subsequently posted about receiving an apology from “SNL.”

The sketch, notably, came on the heels of Wood saying she is ready to “stop f–king talking” about her teeth.

“Can I talk about my character?” she asked during a recent Sunday Times interview. “Why am I talking about my gnashers? It’s like now I’m just a pair of front teeth.”

While Wood understands that the attention is helping “people feel more confident about their imperfections,” she doesn’t appreciate that her mouth is “still defining” her.

In March, she told “Jonathan Ross Show” viewers that her social media algorithm kept feeding her videos “analyzing” her smile.

“They, like, dissect my teeth and say what is wrong with it but then at the end go, ‘But we don’t think she should change a thing,’” Wood said of the “lovely” uploads.
