"White Lotus" star Aimee Lou Wood is doubling down on her criticism of a "Saturday Night Live" sketch that poked fun at her.

In an interview with BBC, Wood, 31, said she didn't regret calling out "SNL" for its portrayal of her, referencing a childhood in which she was bullied.

"I don't regret saying it because it was breaking a pattern, which is what I would usually do," she told the outlet, "What I did when I was younger and got bullied."

Earlier this year, Sarah Sherman, a cast member on the late-night sketch show, portrayed Wood's "White Lotus" character, using an exaggerated accent and large false teeth, making a joke about fluoride that the actress called later called "mean and unfunny" on Instagram. She said she didn't mind being made fun of but that there "must be a cleverer, more nuanced, less cheap way" to do so.

Wood told BBC that after watching the episode, she said to herself: "I have a choice here to go in and be embarrassed about it and just say, 'I didn't like that. It was mean.'

"No matter what chaos came from it, I’m still happy for me and my personal journey that I said something," she added. "I've gone into meetings with directors that I've admired and burst into tears and not been able to say a word, and I think that kind of urge is always to correct, to say 'I'm so sorry that I just did something messy' and actually you didn't do anything wrong."

Following Wood's original criticism of the impression, the actress revealed that Sherman had sent her flowers.

"Thank you for the beautiful flowers," Wood wrote in an Instagram story alongside a photo of the bouquet. The "SNL" sketch reimagined Season 3 of "The White Lotus" starring President Donald Trump and his allies. Jon Hamm played Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who said he wanted to remove fluoride from drinking water. "What would that do to people's teeth?" he asked. The sketch then cut to Sherman wearing fake teeth and doing a hyperbolic impression of Wood's "White Lotus" character.
