LOS ANGELES, California – Actress Aimee Lou Wood found herself at the center of a controversy following a parody of her character on “Saturday Night Live.” The sketch, named “The White Potus,” featured Sarah Sherman portraying Wood’s character, Chelsea, poking fun at the actress’ appearance, particularly her teeth.
Wood took to social media to express her disappointment with the sketch, labeling it as “mean and unfunny.” However, the situation took a surprising turn when Sherman extended an olive branch to Wood in the form of a beautiful flower arrangement.
Following the exchange of gifts, Wood publicly thanked Sherman for the gesture. This came after Wood mistakenly shared a fake apology from a spoof account posing as Sherman, which she later deleted.
Despite the drama surrounding the “SNL” parody, Wood clarified that her tears in South London were unrelated to the skit. Rumors of a falling out between Wood and co-star Walton Goggins began swirling after the finale of the HBO series, “White Lotus.”
While Wood did not appreciate the parody on “SNL,” Goggins praised it, referring to it as “SMASHING” in a now-deleted post. Fans noted that Wood and Goggins do not follow each other on Instagram and did not do promotional press together after the finale.
Although neither Wood nor Goggins have addressed the rumors of a falling out, their co-star Jason Isaacs acknowledged that disagreements occurred among the cast during filming in Thailand. Overall, the saga surrounding the “White Lotus” parody on “SNL” continues to unfold, with mixed reactions from the actors involved.
