This act of kindness appeared to be Sherman\u2019s way of showing goodwill and possibly apologizing to Wood for the skit, which had caused some upset.<\/p>\n<p>Wood took to her Instagram story to express her gratitude, sharing a photo of the bouquet and writing, \u201cThank you for the beautiful flowers, Sarah Sherman.\u201d This came after Wood had publicly criticized the <em>SNL<\/em> sketch, which she felt mocked her character\u2019s teeth and British accent. She described the skit as \u201cunfunny and mean,\u201d and expressed that while parody is part of the show\u2019s nature, there should be a more thoughtful, nuanced approach to humor. She added, \u201cYes, take the piss for sure\u2014that\u2019s what the show is about\u2014but there must be a cleverer, more nuanced, less cheap way?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Despite the skit\u2019s negative reception, Wood clarified that her issue was with the concept rather than with Sherman personally. She shared that she received an apology from the show, but made it clear that she wasn\u2019t \u201chating on\u201d Sherman, just the portrayal of her character in the sketch.<\/p>\n<p>The controversy stirred up significant online discussion, with fans and netizens weighing in on the nature of the parody and its impact. In the <em>SNL<\/em> sketch, Sherman portrayed a version of Wood\u2019s character, and it also featured a host of other celebrities, including James Austin Johnson as Donald Trump and Chloe Fineman as Melania Trump. The parody, while part of the show\u2019s usual satirical humor, became a focal point of debate after Wood\u2019s response.<\/p>\n<p>Sherman\u2019s gesture of sending flowers likely aimed to smooth over the situation, showing that she took Wood\u2019s concerns seriously and wanted to show appreciation for her as an actress despite the tension created by the skit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the aftermath of the controversial Saturday Night Live skit, The White POTUS, which mocked Aimee Lou Wood\u2019s character Chelsea\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":294,"featured_media":69560,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[67],"tags":[19634],"class_list":["post-69559","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-celebrity-news","tag-aimee-lou-wood"],"reading_time":"2 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/69559","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/294"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=69559"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/69559\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/69560"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=69559"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=69559"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=69559"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
