In a recent “Saturday Night Live” sketch parodying “The White Lotus,” cast member Sarah Sherman mocked Aimee Lou Wood’s appearance, sparking controversy. Wood initially called the parody “mean and unfunny,” but Walton Goggins, her co-star in the show, responded positively to the sketch.
Goggins’ response comes amid rumors of a feud between the two actors, fueled by their lack of social media interaction and ambiguous posts on Instagram. The “SNL” sketch featured guest host Jon Hamm playing a version of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Sherman wearing prosthetic teeth to mimic Wood’s character.
Wood later expressed disappointment with the sketch, stating that she wished “SNL” had taken a more clever and nuanced approach. She received an apology from the show, but fans and viewers also criticized the parody for targeting Wood in a negative way.
Despite the backlash, Goggins’ support for the sketch has added fuel to rumors of tension between the co-stars. The controversy surrounding the parody and the actors’ reactions continues to spark conversation online and in the media.
