Aimee Lou Wood’s SNL Parody Drama: Inside Her Friends’ Support and Possible Reconciliation

Despite the intense drama portrayed in Season 3 of “The White Lotus,” which concluded its broadcast on the 2025 TV schedule in April, the gossip about off-screen events seems to have been equally intriguing. This includes rumors of a supposed conflict between Walton Goggins and Aimee Lou Wood, which may have escalated following their reactions to a sketch on “Saturday Night Live” that made fun of the actress’ teeth. Wood criticized the sketch, and now a source is dishing details about how her friends and co-stars reacted.

In the April 12 episode of SNL, a sketch titled “The White Potus” was shown, where Sarah Sherman mimicked Chelsea from The White Lotus (streaming with Max subscription). She used prosthetic teeth reminiscent of Aimee Lou Wood’s to portray her. However, the actress found it disrespectful and unfunny, and as per Life&Style, several other cast members echoed this sentiment. A source stated:

Apart from Walton Goggins, who seems to be at odds with her, everyone else in the cast has been extremely supportive towards her.

Speculation arose about potential friction between Aimee Lou Wood and Walton Goggins due to their shift from praising each other extravagantly to unfollowing each other online. Goggins chose not to acknowledge the issue, but fans interpreted his positive reaction to a Saturday Night Live sketch as hinting at some tension. On the show’s Instagram, he wrote, “Hahahahahhahaha Amazzzingggg,” expressing delight at the skit.

Walton Goggins also took on the role of host for “Saturday Night Live” during Season 50 on May 10, although it appears this had been planned before the controversy surrounding “The White Potus” sketch. It’s unclear if there have been any conversations between him and his screen love (Goggins portrayed Rick, Chelsea’s partner), but a source revealed that her friends’ support has been instrumental in helping her through this time. The source added:

As I pen this review, I can’t help but reflect on the peculiarity of the latest sketch that left me scratching my head. However, it seems the creators didn’t quite hit the mark with their intended audience. Amidst the social media buzz, voices of support for the artist have emerged, which has undeniably bolstered her spirits and eased my own concerns about the sketch’s reception.

I’ve been deeply touched by the kind gestures from the cast members of Saturday Night Live. Particularly, Sarah Sherman graciously sent me a beautiful bouquet of flowers and expressed her sincere apologies for any unintentional pain caused. She assured me that it was never her intention to upset anyone.

HOW SNL RESPONDED TO BACKLASH

Sarah Sherman acknowledges that her portrayal might have “overstepped the line” in relation to how Aimee Lou Wood felt.

Aimee Lou Wood quietly shone in ‘The White Lotus’ Season 3, which is why it’s not surprising that she felt annoyed when people paid more attention to her teeth rather than her acting. Yet, when images of the actress crying in South London surfaced a few days after the Saturday Night Live sketch, she clarified that it wasn’t the cause of her tears.

Regarding the speculated rift between her and Walton Goggins, it’s been reported that they began following each other on Instagram last month, leading to whispers of a potential reunion soon. This could be due to their upcoming Emmy campaign for “The White Lotus,” as their roles in this series may necessitate their involvement.
