They are saying imitation is the sincerest type of flattery, however “White Lotus” breakout star Aimee Lou Wood would disagree.
The April 12 episode of “Saturday Night time Dwell” featured a pre-taped spoof of the Mike White drama collection, which starred Sarah Sherman as a parodied model of Wooden’s character, Chelsea. On Sunday, Wooden took to her Instagram Stories to specific her frustration with the portrayal, calling it “imply and unfunny.”
“Such a disgrace cuz I had such a good time watching it a few weeks in the past,” she wrote. “Sure, take the piss for certain – that’s what the present is about- however there have to be a cleverer, extra nuanced, much less low-cost means?”
The sketch in query was aimed principally at Donald Trump’s inside circle as tariffs ravage the worldwide financial system. It starred James Austin Johnson because the president, Chloe Fineman and Melania Trump, Mikey Days as Donald Trump Jr. and Jon Hamm as Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
In a single second, Hamm’s RFK, dressed as Walton Goggin’s Rick, says, “I’ve been having these insane concepts, like what if we took all of the fluoride out of the consuming water? What would that do to individuals’s tooth?” The digicam then reveals Sherman’s Chelsea, sporting an exaggerated accent and enlarged false tooth. She responds, “Fluoride? What’s that?”
Wooden wrote that she obtained “hundreds of messages” of help after posting her gripes with the late-night sketch present. She later revealed that she even obtained “apologies from ‘SNL.’”
