SNL Apologizes to Aimee Lou Wood After Mocking Her Teeth in Controversial Sketch

BBG News

According to reports, Saturday Night Live (SNL) has allegedly apologized to Aimee Lou Wood following her criticism of a supposedly unkind sketch poking fun at her teeth.

On Sunday evening, the lead actor from The White Lotus took to social media to express their disapproval following a satirical portrayal by Saturday Night Live’s Sarah Sherman, who used large false teeth to mimic Aimee.

Responding to jokes made on the show, Sex Education actress, aged 31, utilized her Instagram Stories to critique Saturday Night Live and clear up speculations surrounding HBO.

Following the actress becoming popular due to her criticism of the “rude and humorless” sketch, she mentioned that Saturday Night Live (SNL) had contacted her as a gesture of peace.

In addition to sharing an edited selfie where her eyes and lips appear enlarged, she wrote: ‘SNL has offered me an apology.’ (This version aims to maintain the original meaning while making it more accessible and easy to read.)

In the drawing titled “The White Potus,” it depicts the Trump family and several political figures enjoying a vacation at the well-known getaway location.

 

In this revised version, the character Rick played by Walton Goggins has been transformed into Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who was depicted delivering an impassioned speech questioning the need for ‘removing all fluoride from our water supply.’

Speaking here as a lifestyle advisor, allow me to share an intriguing scene from my perspective. I found myself observing the character Chelsea, brilliantly portrayed by Sarah, who, in a charmingly quirky manner, expressed her curiosity: ‘Fluoride? Now, what’s that?’ This humorous line underscores the unique personality of this character and adds an interesting twist to the narrative.

In reply, Aimee countered the joke she found “cheap,” by saying: “What a pity, as I really enjoyed it a couple of weeks ago. Yes, you can certainly make fun of it – that’s what the show is all about. However, couldn’t there be a more intelligent, subtle, and less crude approach?

Apart from her own words, she additionally voiced out encouragement from her fans and her sister Emily. She confessed that she had been inundated with ‘many thousands’ of messages expressing support for her cause.

Aimee added: ‘Let me make one final point on this topic. I’m not easily offended, but I enjoy banter that is witty and friendly. However, the humor in this case revolved around fluoride. I don’t have poor teeth; instead, I have noticeable gaps.’

I’m fine with SNL’s caricatures, I get it’s their style. However, the rest of the skit seemed to be making fun of others while targeting Chelsea as the only one being targeted. That doesn’t sit well with me, and that’s all I wanted to say.

In summary, she echoed a remark from a spectator who said, “The skit was witty and amusing until it unexpectedly veered into 1970’s misogyny,” to which she concurred, “This perfectly captures my perspective.

During the morning hours, Aimee expressed further opinions regarding the topic, confessing to her audience: “In all honesty, I found the SNL skit harsh and not amusing.

After observing that she felt ‘self-assured’ but ‘may erase’ the post at a later time, supporters urged her against deleting it.

Keep it, someone suggested reading the comment. It was harsh and not amusing, but saying it aloud diminishes its impact.

1) You’re extraordinary in every sense; your kindness has filled the void I felt due to my crooked teeth and overbite, making me appreciate myself more.

They decided, ‘Instead of investing a lot of money in repairing everything, since I find you so attractive, I thought it would be wise to consider applying the same thinking to myself.’

As a die-hard fan, I wholeheartedly concur! It seemed like every character in that hilarious spoof was a prominent political figure, all poking fun at them in the best way possible.

As a devoted admirer, let me say that among all characters, it was only Chelsea who seemed devoid of any political undertones. Yet, their apparent mockery of your physical features or accent felt rather crass and inappropriate – a move that falls short of the mark, to put it mildly.

Earlier, she clarified that ‘nobody at HBO called’ her ‘ugly.’ 

In that interview, I felt like I might have been reading too much into things and jumping to conclusions, or in other words, I think I may have let my fanaticism get the best of me and misunderstood it.

The star went on to clarify: ‘No one from HBO would make such a statement. In my piece, I wanted to emphasize that our minds can deceive us. So, take a moment to review before jumping to conclusions about me.’

To wrap up today’s discussion, I’d like to say this: HBO is considerate, kind, and has never wronged me, so please let them be. As for NBCSNL, they can be rather harsh.

TopMob has contacted NBC for comment.  

In a recent conversation with British GQ, Aimee shared that it took some effort on the part of White Lotus creator Mike White to secure her role, leaving her feeling uncertain about her abilities.

She continued: ‘When someone (not a producer) told me Mike fought for me it was said in a nice way.

I’ve been overwhelmed by my own feelings of inadequacy, often referred to as “imposter syndrome.” I simply wanted to clarify this because HBO has been incredibly supportive all along.

In the GQ piece, Aimee candidly discussed her insecurities by admitting, “‘Deep down inside, my small voice whispers: ‘HBO didn’t choose me. And I understand why HBO didn’t choose me – it’s because I’m not beautiful.’

Mike found himself needing to express, “Grant me the unattractive woman,” which was what was on her mind, she elaborated further.

In a different part of the conversation, Aimee discussed her curiosity about her inherent overbite and misaligned front teeth, fearing they had become so prominent that they were overshadowing her stage presence.

She fretted over the perception among White Lotus viewers that her teeth appeared odd or unattractive, which she hasn’t addressed with dental work yet.

She expressed her joy at its representation of defiance and liberty, yet acknowledged there’s a boundary to it.

The entire discussion seems focused on my teeth, which leaves me feeling somewhat disheartened as I’m missing the opportunity to discuss my professional endeavors.

In my perspective, people seem to appreciate my smile without pointing out flaws, which I find refreshing. Pausing for a moment, it struck me that this conversation could potentially be linked to broader issues of sexism, where women’s appearances are often scrutinized more than men’s.

As a devoted admirer, I find myself compelled to visit that place… I wonder if it were just any man, we wouldn’t be discussing him as extensively as we are. The conversation keeps circling back to his physical attributes, which is unfortunate.

As a lifestyle enthusiast, I’ve chosen to embrace my unique features, like my natural buck teeth, rather than conforming to the perceived beauty norms of the entertainment industry.

On The Jonathan Ross Show, the actress expressed amazement, saying: “I’m astonished by the influence my teeth seem to be exerting. They’re causing quite a stir among Americans.

It seems somewhat rebellious, even with the conversations among White Lotus enthusiasts regarding my natural teeth and lack of veneers or Botox.
