The White Lotus star Aimee Lou Wood has said that Saturday Night Live has sent her a rare apology after making fun of her appearance during a sketch on the latest episode.
During Saturday nightâs episode (12 April), SNL cast members reimagined the hit HBO series The White Lotus as The White Potus, which saw Donald Trump (played by James Austin Johnson) attempt to unwind at an exotic vacation resort while secretly panicking about the future financial state of America amid to tariff policy chaos, surrounded by Ivanka (Scarlett Johansson) and Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick (Jon Gries).
The SNL skit also attempted to recreate the dynamic between Rick (Walton Goggins) and his Mancunian younger girlfriend Chelsea (Lou Wood), with RFK Jr (Jonn Hamm) rambling about fluoride in water to his confused girlfriend, played by SNL cast member Sarah Sherman, who darts off to kill and eat a monkey.
In the skit, Sherman puts on a bizarre British accent and appears to be wearing exaggerated prosthetic teeth in an attempt to parody Lou Woodâs appearance.
In a post shared on her Instagram Story on Sunday (13 April), Lou Wood has called the skit âunfunny and meanâ.
Lou Wood, 31, has since shared an update with her fans. The Sex Education star wrote in an Instagram story: âIâve had apologies from SNL.â
Aimee Lou Wood says SNL have apologised to her (Aimee Lou Wood/Instagram )She added: âThe last thing Iâll say on the matter. I am not thin skinned. I actually love being taken the p*** out of when itâs clever and in good spirits. But the joke was about fluoride. I have big gap teeth not bad teeth. I donât mind caricature - I understand thatâs what SNL is. But the rest of the skit was punching up and I/Chelsea was the only one punched down on.â
Continuing she said: âActually one last thing. Not Sarah Shermanâs fault. Not hating on her, hating on the concept.â
She also shared a comment from a fan comparing this skit to â1970s misogynyâ saying that âthis sums up my viewâ.
