The 31-year-old British actress, who starred as Chelsea in the third season of The White Lotus, took to social media over the weekend to call out SNL for a sketch that mocked her appearance, particularly her teeth. In the skit, titled “The White Potus,” Sherman portrayed Wood's character using prosthetic teeth and a shaky British accent, making fun of Chelsea's misunderstanding of the word “fluoride.”


Wood described the sketch as “mean and unfunny” and explained that, while she understood SNL’s style, she felt that her character was unfairly “punched down on” compared to the rest of the sketch. However, she made it clear that her frustration wasn’t aimed at Sherman personally, but at the concept of the sketch itself.

After the controversy, Wood was tricked into posting an apology from a spoof account, which she later deleted. Things took a positive turn when Sherman, also known as Sarah Squirm, sent Wood a heartfelt bouquet of flowers as a peace offering. Wood shared the flowers on Instagram with a thank-you message, tagging Sherman.


Despite the media frenzy, Wood clarified that her tears in South London were unrelated to the SNL parody, quickly addressing the rumors.
