‘The White Lotus' Aimee Lou Wood Reacts to "Mean" SNL Parody
Aimee Lou Wood is feeling the support.
After the White Lotus star called a Saturday Night Live parody of her and her character Chelsea that focused on her signature smile "mean and unfunny," stars includingCara Delevingne andGeorgia May Jagger rushed to her defense.
Cara reposted a screenshot of Aimee's original April 13 Instagram Stories and wrote, "@aimeelouwood YOU ARE STUNNING PERIOD."
Georgia then screenshotted the model's post and wrote, "Agreed! @aimeelouwood is gorgeous."
Jameela Jamil went even deeper when she posted a headline from an article detailing Aimee's reaction to theSNLsketch, declaring, "I hate this so much."
"It's the least interesting or memorable thing about this brilliant actor," the Good Place actress wrote of the 31-year-old's signature smile. "Our next Olivia Coleman. Hilarious, deep, vulnerable, and relentlessly lovable."
"We make fun of the assimilation of women," Jameela went on, "and then mercilessly obsess over anyone with any slightly alternative features from whatever bulls--t AI standard we have allowed, as women, to take hold of this world."

The outspoken star continued to gush about Aimee on a subsequent slide, writing, "I also think she's so f--king beautiful and love her face so much and wouldn't want her to look any different."
TheSex Education alum's sisterEmily Wood also chimed in to support her older sister.
"She is out here personifying the word POWERHOUSE," the makeup artist wrote over a selfie with her sister on her Instagram Stories. "The admiration I have for this woman is nuts. Beyond comprehension. JUST like my feelings of deep animalistic protectiveness over her."
"The greatest big sister," Emily continued. "My best human on the planet. Her authenticity and originally is incomparable. My god we are really madly blessed to experience life on earth at the same time as her."
Aimee reposted Cara, Georgia and Jameela's messages and added heart emojis to them. Alongside her sister's post, she wrote, "I love you Emily."

The actress—who previously said that she'd been "bullied" for her teeth for "forever"—initially made her feelings known about the April 12 SNL parody starringSarah Sherman the morning after it aired.
"Such a shame cuz I had such a great time watching it a couple weeks ago," she wrote, in part. "Yes, take the p--s for sure - that's what the show is about - but there must be a cleverer, more nuanced, less cheap way?"
After reposting some supportive DMs that she'd received in response to her criticism of the sketch, Aimee posted about how much support she's been feeling.
"Omg I've got THOUSANDS of messages in agreement with me since posting that," she revealed. "Thanks guys. Glad I said something..."

"Last thing I'll say on the matter," Aimee wrote on another slide, "I am not thin skinned. I actually love being taken the piss out of when it's clever and in good spirits. 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. But the rest of the skit was punching up and I/Chelsea was the only one punched down on."
The actress also absolved Sarah of blame, clarifying that she's "not hating on her," rather she was "hating on the concept."
Perhaps bringing the controversy full circle, Aimee revealed that she's "had apologies fromSNL" since sharing her feelings about the sketch.
