The White Lotus star Aimee Lou Wood has said she has no regrets about calling out a “mean and unfunny” Saturday Night Live impression earlier this year, describing it as “breaking a pattern.”
Back in April, the long-running sketch series aired a parody of The White Lotus‘ third season, featuring Sarah Sherman as Wood’s character, Chelsea. In the skit, Sherman wore large prosthetic teeth and made a joke about fluoride, implying Wood doesn’t take care of her dental hygiene.
Wood responded on Instagram at the time, writing, “Whilst in honest mode – I did find the SNL thing mean and unfunny… I have big gap teeth not bad teeth. I don’t mind caricature – I understand that’s what SNL is. But the rest of the skit was punching up and I/Chelsea was the only one punched down on.”
