Celebrities Rally Behind Aimee Lou Wood After SNL Parody Controversy

by

Aimee Lou Wood is feeling the support.

Following the portrayal of her and her character Chelsea in a Saturday Night Live skit by the White Lotus star, which centered on her famous smile being “unpleasant” and unfunny, several stars such as Cara Delevingne and Georgia May Jagger swiftly came to her aid.

Cara reshared Aimee’s April 13 Instagram Story as a screenshot and commented, “Aimee Lou Wood, you are absolutely stunning, full stop.

Georgia then screenshotted the model’s post and wrote, “Agreed! @aimeelouwood is gorgeous.”

Jameela Jamil delved further by sharing an article’s title that showcased Aimee’s response to the SNL sketch, expressing her dislike with the words, “I really despise this.

In her post, the actress from “The Good Place” stated that the 31-year-old’s signature smile is not what makes them most fascinating or memorable. Instead, she compared them to Olivia Colman, praising their humor, depth, vulnerability, and unending charm.

Jameela stated, “We mock the integration of women, yet relentlessly fixate on individuals who exhibit even slight deviations from the arbitrary beauty norms our society has imposed, which women have come to embody in this world.

On the following slide, the vocal celebrity expressed more adoration for Aimee, remarking, “I believe she is incredibly beautiful, and I admire her face immensely. In fact, I wouldn’t wish for her to change a thing about it.

The Sex Education alum’s sister Emily Wood also chimed in to support her older sister.

In her Instagram Story’s caption, the makeup artist expressed that she was capturing the essence of ‘Powerhouse’ in her sister, adding, “I hold an incredible level of admiration for this woman – it’s hard to put into words. It transcends understanding, and it stirs up feelings akin to deep, instinctual protection.

Emily went on, praising her sister as “the most extraordinary big sister.” She declared her as her finest human being on Earth. Her uniqueness and originality were unparalleled. Truly, we are incredibly fortunate to share this planet’s existence with her at the same time.

Aimee shared the posts from Cara, Georgia, and Jameela, adding a heart symbol to each one of them. Additionally, alongside her sister’s post, she penned, “I adore you Emily.” (or simply “I love you E.”)

The actress, who had earlier expressed that she’d been teased about her teeth for a long time, first expressed her thoughts about the April 12 sketch on SNL featuring Sarah Sherman the day after it was broadcasted.

She mentioned, “It’s unfortunate because I enjoyed it so much a few weeks back.” Later, she questioned, “Absolutely, the show involves such humor, but couldn’t there be a more intelligent, subtler, and less crass approach instead?

Following the sharing of a few encouraging private messages she’d gotten after voicing her criticism of the sketch, Aimee expressed her feelings about the strong backing she’s experienced.

She shared that there have been thousands of messages supporting my viewpoint since I posted it,” she disclosed. “Thank you all. It’s good to express my thoughts…

In closing, allow me to clarify, I’m not overly sensitive. In fact, I find it amusing when jokes are clever and in high spirits, but the joke about fluoride crossed a line for me. You see, I have a distinctive gap-toothed smile, not a bad set of teeth. I appreciate caricature, as I understand that’s what Saturday Night Live is all about. However, the rest of the skit seemed to target upwards, while Chelsea was the only one targeted downwards in an unfair manner.

As a devoted fan, I too cleared Sarah of any suspicion, making it clear that my disapproval wasn’t directed at her personally, but rather, I found myself criticizing the idea itself.

It seems that Aimee has come full circle with the controversy as she shared that “SNL has apologized to her” after expressing her thoughts on the sketch.
