Overview

• Aimee Lou Wood publicly objected to an SNL sketch that mocked her gap teeth, describing it as 'mean and unfunny' while clarifying she was not targeting performer Sarah Sherman but the concept of the skit.
• The sketch, titled 'The White Potus,' was a politically themed parody of The White Lotus, featuring exaggerated prosthetic teeth for Wood’s character portrayal.
• Wood emphasized her openness to clever satire but criticized the sketch for 'punching down' on her appearance, marking her as the only non-political figure mocked in the skit.
• SNL issued an apology to Wood following her comments, though co-star Walton Goggins praised the sketch, fueling speculation about tensions between the actors.
• The incident has reignited broader conversations about media focus on celebrity appearances and the balance between humor and respect in public caricature.
