Aimee Lou Wood doesn’t blame Sarah Sherman for parodying her on “Saturday Night Live.”
On Sunday, the British actress, 31, spoke out against the “White Potus” sketch, which featured Sherman, 32, mocking Wood’s “White Lotus” character, Chelsea.
After calling the skit “mean and unfunny,” Wood clarified that she doesn’t hold Sherman responsible.
“Not @sarahsquirm ‘s fault,” Wood wrote alongside a selfie on her Instagram Stories. “Not hating on her, hating on the concept,” she added.
On another slide, Wood clarified that despite being upset about the skit, she’s “not thin skinned.”
“I actually love being taken the piss out of when it’s clever and in good spirits,” she wrote. “But the joke was about fluoride. I have big gap teeth not bad teeth.”
“I don’t mind caricature — I understand that’s what SNL is,” Wood continued. “But the rest of the skit was punching up and I/Chelsea was the only one punched down on.”
On another post, Wood appeared to screenshot a fan DM or comment about the parody that read, “It was a sharp and funny skit until it suddenly took a screeching turn into 1970’s misogyny.”
“This sums up my view,” she wrote over the screenshot.
During the sketch, which parodied Donald Trump and his tariffs, host Jon Hamm, acting as Robert F. Kennedy Jr., portrayed Walton Goggins’ Rick.
Sitting at a table with Sherman’s Chelsea, Hamm said that he has “all these crazy ideas” including stabbing people with a syringe of “active measles virus.”
“I’ve been having these insane ideas, like what if we took all the fluoride out of the drinking water? What would that do to people’s teeth?” Hamm added, as Sherman responded, “Fluoride? What’s that?”
Sherman wore prosthetic teeth to parody Chelsea — which sparked a negative reaction from Wood, who has said before that she doesn’t like being judged for her appearance.
“I did find the SNL thing mean and unfunny,” Wood wrote on her IG Stories.
She added: “Such a shame cuz I had such a great time watching it a couple 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?”
Wood also shared several screenshots of fans DMs that supported her criticism of the sketch. Alongside one DM, Wood wrote, “At least get the accent right, seriously. I respect accuracy even if it’s mean.”
Some stars who supported her included Cara Delevingne, Mick Jagger’s model daughter Georgia May Jagger and Jameela Jamil.
Two hours after her initial posts, Wood wrote, “I’ve had apologies from SNL.”
The Post has reached out to Sherman’s rep for comment. A rep for “SNL” did not get back to The Post.
“The White Potus” sketch, which has over 3 million views on YouTube, also starred James Austin Johnson as Trump, Chloe Fineman as Melania Trump, Mikey Day as Donald Trump Jr. and Scarlett Johansson as Ivanka Trump.
