‘The White Lotus' Aimee Lou Wood Reacts to "Mean" SNL Parody

Aimee Lou Wood was not amused bySNL'sWhite Lotusparody.

The April 12 episode of the NBC series featured a political sketch titled The White POTUS, which saw cast memberSarah Sherman spoofing the British actress' character Chelsea, complete with what appeared to be a dental prosthetic and similar outfit to one she sported on the HBO Max show.

Wood, who has spoken before about bullied over her teeth, wrote on her Instagram Stories April 13, "I did find the SNL thing mean and unfunny xo."

Several fans DMed her to express support. "I agree — everyone else in that parody was a political figure who was being mocked," one person wrote in a message the actress shared. "The only character who wasn't political was Chelsea, and they were clearly taking the p--s out of your appearance/accent."

Wood, who is from Manchester, England, wrote in another post, "At least get the accent right seriously. I respect accuracy even if it's mean."

The 31-year-old also said "Yes, take the p--s for sure - that's what the show is about but there must be a cleverer, more nuanced, less cheap way?"

The actress later shared an update, writing, "I've had apologies fromSNL."

"I have these insane ideas, like, what if we took all the fluoride out of the drinking water?" Hamm's RFK Jr. character tells Sherman's. "But what would that do to people's teeth?"

TheSNL actress responds, "Fluoride? What's that?"

Wood had addressed White Lotus viewers' chatter over her teeth last month.

She noted that orthodontists have shared videos analyzing her bite.

“They dissect my teeth and say what’s wrong with it,” she explained. "But at the end go, ‘But we don’t think she should change a thing.' Oh my God, it feels so lovely. A real full-circle moment after being bullied for my teeth forever.”

After the crowd laughed, she added, “Now people are clapping in an audience ‘cause I’ve got these gnashers.”
