White Lotus star Aimee Lou Wood was not amused by Saturday Night Live‘s skit that poked fun of her teeth on Saturday night.
In the sketch, which included this week’s host Jon Hamm, Sarah Sherman wore huge prosthetic teeth in her mouth as she did a cruel impression of Aimee.
In response to being mocked on the show, the Sex Education star, 31, took to her Instagram Story to slam SNL and address rumors about HBO.
‘Whilst in honest mode – I did find the SNL thing mean and unfunny,’ she told her followers.
After noting she was feeling ‘righteous’ but ‘might delete’ her post later, fans encouraged her not to remove it.
‘Don’t delete it, one comment read. ‘It was mean and unfunny and saying it out loud removes their power.

‘You’re unreal in every way, I have a big gap in my teeth and an overbite and you’ve genuinely made me feel so much better about myself.
‘I was going to spend thousands on fixing it all which I’m not doing now because I look at you and think how gorgeous you look so why not try and apply that logic to myself,’ they concluded.
Another commenter wrote, ‘I agree- everyone else in that parody was a political figure who was being mocked.
‘The only character who wasn’t political was Chelsea, and they were clearly just taking the piss out of your appearance/accent, which is extremely c***y and uncalled for.’
Earlier, she clarified that ‘nobody at HBO called’ her ‘ugly.’
‘That was my own paranoid thought’ she explained, referring to a recent interview, which she says was misconstrued.
The star continued: ‘Nobody at HBO would say that. My point in the article was about how our mind plays tricks on us. Please read carefully before getting angry for me.’
‘So to conclude today’s rant: @hbo – kind and supportive and never wronged me so leave them alone. @nbcsnl – mean.’

Later, Aimee shared another image saying that SNL had apologized to her.
In a recent interview with British GQ, Aimee explained that White Lotus creator Mike White had to ‘fight’ to cast her, which made her feel insecure.
She continued: ‘When someone (not a producer) told me Mike fought for me it was said in a nice way.
‘I just spiraled about it because of my own imposter syndrome. That was my point. Just really wanted to clear that up because hbo have been nothing but super supportive.

In the GQ article, Aimee dove into the insecurity, saying, ‘My little head goes: “HBO didn’t want me. And I know why HBO didn’t want me, it’s because I’m ugly.”‘
‘Mike had to say, “Please let me have the ugly girl!” That was the thing that was in my head,’ she continued.
Elsewhere in the interview, Aimee spoke about the interest in her natural overbite and gapped buck teeth, which she worried had progressed to the point that it was stealing attention from her performance.
She worried that her teeth were now seen by some White Lotus fans as something ‘goofy’ that she hadn’t yet had ‘fixed.’
‘It makes me really happy that it’s symbolizing rebellion and freedom, but there’s a limit,’ she said.

Her fans, who went to her defense when they thought HBO had wronged her, were supportive in the comments
‘The whole conversation is just about my teeth, and it makes me a bit sad because I’m not getting to talk about my work.
‘They think it’s nice because they’re not criticizing,’ she said of those focused on her smile, before pausing and suggesting that the whole discussion might be tied in with sexism.
‘And, I have to go there… I don’t know if it was a man would we be talking about it this much? It’s still going on about a woman’s appearance,’ she added.
Aimee has been praised online for leaving her buck teeth natural, instead of caving into the artificial beauty standards of Hollywood.
During an appearance on The Jonathan Ross Show, the actress marveled: ‘I can’t believe the impact my teeth are having. Americans can’t get over them.
‘Even the way White Lotus fans are talking about me and my teeth — that I don’t have veneers or Botox — it feels a bit rebellious.’
