"Saturday Night Live" (SNL) found itself entangled in a storm of controversy after an episode featuring a sketch that targeted Aimee Lou Wood, the star of "The White Lotus." During this recent segment, Sarah Sherman donned enormous prosthetic teeth to spoof the 31-year-old actress. Dubbed "The White Potus," the sketch envisioned a vacation scenario involving the Trump family alongside various political heavyweights, according to the Daily Mail.
In reaction to this perceived "mean" sketch, which poked fun at her dental features, the "Sex Education" star took to her Instagram Stories to lambast SNL for their choice of humor. Her post swiftly went viral, prompting the Daily Mail to report that Wood, known for her role in "Daddy Issues," had disclosed that SNL had reached out with an olive branch.
Taking to Instagram once more, the actress behind "Alice & Jack" posted a selfie that had been artistically "distorted" to enlarge her eyes and mouth, captioning it, "I've received apologies from SNL." For those unfamiliar with the saga, the English actress had earlier called out the show for a "cheap" joke, elaborating on her dissatisfaction with its specific content.
Summarizing her critique, Wood shared a fan's comment that echoed her own sentiments. The comment read, "It started as a sharp and humorous skit but then abruptly took a jarring detour into 1970s misogyny."
