WHITE LOTUS STAR SLAMS SNL
White Lotus breakout star Aimee Lou Wood has slammed US sketch comedy show Saturday Night Live (SNL) for mocking her appearance.
The third instalment in the White Lotus series features the lives of guests and staff at a luxury hotel resort in Thailand. As the series progresses, the characters’ secrets are revealed.
The British actress shared her thoughts in an Instagram account.
“Whilst in honest mode – I did find the SNL thing mean and unfunny.”
During the sketch, a character portraying Wood’s character in White Lotus is mocked for being dumb and having two very large teeth.
“I have big gap teeth, not bad teeth. The rest of the skit was punching up, and I/Chelsea was the only one punched down on.”
In a recent interview with GQ Hype, the actress said it made her sad that people are talking more about her appearance than her work as she was “not getting to talk about my work”.
She also added: “On a positive note, everyone is agreeing with me about it so I’m glad I said something instead of going in on myself.”
