Aimee Lou Wood, known for her role in 'The White Lotus,' faced backlash over a depiction of her on SNL's 'The White Potus' parody. While the skit criticized public figures, her portrayal seemed exaggerated and mean-spirited. Wood expressed her thoughts on Instagram, stating she appreciates clever humor but felt the skit unfairly targeted her. Despite her concerns, she later clarified receiving apologies from SNL and harbors no resentment towards the comedian behind the impression, Sarah Sherman, recognizing it wasn't her fault.
I am not thin skinned. I actually love being take the piss out of when it's clever and in good spirits. But the joke was about fluoride.
But the rest of the skit was punching up and I/Chelsea was the only one punched down on.
Aimee Lou Wood is the only actual cast member they singled out and didn't swap in some kind of political equivalent for.
there is no bad blood between myself and Sherman for her impression, clarifying that it wasn't the comedian's fault.
