Aimee Lou Wood Reveals Sweet Apology Gift Sarah Sherman Sent Her After 'Mean' 'SNL' Spoof

Actor Aimee Lou Wood shared via her Instagram stories the apology she received from Saturday Night Live cast member Sarah Sherman.

Wood, a breakout star of HBO's third season of White Lotus, previously shared that SNL offered a mea culpa after the actor spoke out about a sketch featured on the show.

"White Potus" was a parody intended to target the Trump family and presidential administration, but Wood and others called out the show for choosing to mock her appearance in the sketch.

Wood has been honest about her insecurities over her appearance and the body dysmorphia she has struggled with. For many, the SNL sketch was unnecessarily cruel towards Wood.

While Wood made clear she held no ill will toward SNL cast member Sarah Sherman, who was assigned to portray her in the "White Potus" sketch, Sherman still felt a personal apology was due.

On Instagram, Wood shared a picture of the flowers Sherman sent her.

A text overlay read:

"Thank you for the beautiful flowers [Sarah Sherman] 🥹🎀💓"
