Aimee Lou Wood, known for her role in 'The White Lotus,' expressed her discontent over a mockery of her character in a recent 'SNL' sketch. The skit, which included exaggerated physical traits, was perceived by Wood as mean and lacking humor. In her Instagram Stories, she articulated her struggle with body image and clarified that HBO did not call her ugly. After sharing her frustration, Wood mentioned that 'SNL' eventually apologized to her, highlighting the tensions between representation and comedy in the entertainment industry.
I did find the 'SNL' thing mean and unfunny xo. (Felt righteous, might delete later). Yes, take the piss for sure - that's what the show is about- but there must be a cleverer, more nuanced, less cheap way?
Nobody at HBO called me ugly!! It was honestly from the nicest place, but my little head goes: 'HBO didn't want me. And I know why HBO didn't want me, it's because I'm ugly.'
Mike had to say, 'Please let me have the ugly girl!' This shows how much fighting for representation was involved behind the scenes.
Earlier this month, Wood admitted that she's tired of the conversation about her teeth. It's, like, cool, and now I want to stop f-king talking about it.
