Aimee Lou Wood, star of HBO's "White Lotus," criticized a recent "Saturday Night Live" sketch that parodied her character. Wood deemed the sketch "mean and unfunny," specifically objecting to the portrayal of her distinctive smile. The sketch, titled "White POTUS," featured a political satire set during a Thailand vacation, similar to the "White Lotus" Season 3 location. While Wood received supportive messages and claimed to have received apologies from "SNL," she clarified her issue was with the concept, not the performers. The show's portrayal of Wood's character was deemed unflattering by many viewers.
