• Sarah Sherman, who portrayed Wood's character in the sketch, sent Wood a bouquet of flowers as a conciliatory gesture, which Wood shared on Instagram.
• Wood clarified that her criticism was directed at the concept of the sketch, not Sherman personally, and appreciated the gesture.
• Reports conflict over whether SNL issued a formal apology, with Wood stating she received apologies but sources suggesting no official apology was made.
