Aimee Lou Wood Stands By Critique of “Mean” SNL Sketch After Apology

The White Lotus actor frames speaking up as breaking a long-held habit of staying silent about personal mockery.

Overview

  • Aimee Lou Wood reiterated in a BBC News interview that she does not regret calling the Saturday Night Live parody of her appearance “mean and unfunny.”
  • Wood said she received apologies from SNL, and performer Sarah Sherman sent her a bouquet of flowers, which Wood acknowledged publicly on Instagram.
  • She emphasized that her criticism targeted the concept of the sketch rather than Sherman personally.
  • The April skit featured Sherman wearing exaggerated fake teeth and delivering a line in an inaccurate British accent about not knowing the meaning of “fluoride.”
  • Recent coverage also notes Wood’s disclosure of an ADHD diagnosis, ongoing autism assessment, and concerns about past bulimia and social anxiety resurfacing with rising fame.
