In an Instagram story shared on Tuesday, Wood clarified that her tears had nothing to do with the SNL sketch or any comments made about her appearance. She explained, \u201cJust to say, I actually wasn\u2019t crying about anything that the papers made out. I was crying about something completely unrelated.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The controversy stemmed from a sketch on <em>SNL<\/em>, where the comedian poked fun at Wood\u2019s character on <em>The White Lotus<\/em> and her distinctive teeth. The sketch, which aired as part of a segment on celebrities, quickly garnered attention for its focus on Wood\u2019s appearance.

Hilarious, deep, vulnerable, and relentlessly lovable.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jamil also used her platform to criticize society\u2019s obsession with certain beauty standards, commenting, \u201cWe make fun of the assimilation of women and then mercilessly obsess over anyone with any slightly alternative features from whatever bulls\u2013t AI standard we have allowed, as women, to take hold of this world.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As for her own take on the SNL gig, Aimee Lou Wood expressed that she didn\u2019t mind being made fun of when it\u2019s done cleverly and in good spirits. However, she felt that the sketch crossed a line, stating, \u201cI have big gap teeth, not bad teeth. I don\u2019t mind caricature\u2014I understand that\u2019s what SNL is. But the rest of the skit was punching up and I\/Chelsea was the only one punched down on.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Wood also took the opportunity to express gratitude to the celebrities who showed their support, reposting their stories to her own Instagram account.
