“Saturday Night Live” Star Sarah Sherman Has Broken Her Silence On Aimee Lou Wood Calling Her Portrayal Of Her “Mean And Unfunny”

“Such a shame cuz I had such a great time watching it a couple weeks ago. Yes, take the piss for sure - that’s what the show is about- but there must be a cleverer, more nuanced, less cheap way,” she went on to add.

She then shared screenshots of supportive messages she’d received from her followers, including one that pointed out: “everyone else in that parody was a political figure who was being mocked. The only character who wasn’t political was Chelsea, and they were clearly just taking the piss out of your appearance/ accent.”

A little while later, Aimee revealed that she’d received an apology from SNL, and she was keen to explain: “I am not thin skinned. I actually love being taken the piss out of when it’s clever and in good spirits. But the joke was about fluoride. I have big gap teeth not bad teeth. I don’t mind caricature- I understand that’s what SNL is. But the rest of the skit was punching up and I/ Chelsea was the only one punched down on..”

She also made it clear that she had no ill feelings towards Sarah specifically, telling fans: “not hating on her, hating on the concept.”
