Thanking her fans for their concerns, ‘The White Lotus’ star said that she was crying in the viral photos about ‘something completely unrelated’.
“Thank you so much. Just to say, I actually wasn’t crying about anything that the papers made out I was crying about. Something completely unrelated,” she wrote.
Her social media post came days after an SNL sketch featured a parodied version of Aimee Lou Wood’s character, Chelsea, sporting an exaggerated accent and enlarged fake teeth.
The impersonation did not sit well with the Hollywood actress, who called it “mean and unfunny.”
“Such a shame cuz I had such a great time watching it a couple of weeks ago. Yes, take the piss for sure – that’s what the show is about- but there must be a cleverer, more nuanced, less cheap way?” she wrote.
Aimee Lou Wood slammed the accent her impersonator used in the sketch, writing, “At least get the accent right seriously. I respect accuracy even if it’s mean.”
