Michael Imperioli backed fellow „White Lotus“ star Aimee Lou Wood after a „mean-spirited“ sketch on „Saturday Night Live.“
Michael Imperioli told Newsweek that a Saturday Night Live sketch about Aimee Lou Wood, his castmate in The White Lotus, was „pretty mean.“
SNL mocked Wood’s teeth during a sketch titled „The White Potus“ in which Sarah Sherman did an impersonation of her.
Wood plays Chelsea in Season 3 of the Netflix series, while Imperioli starred in Season 2 as Dominic Di Grasso.
Imperioli spoke about the sketch to Newsweek on the red carpet of a Jazz at Lincoln Center gala in tribute to Duke Ellington on April 30: „Yeah, that was pretty mean, mean-spirited. I guess they apologized, didn’t they? It’s a tricky thing because comedy, you know, I don’t like having to over-censure comedy but you do have to be a little bit tactful.
„She’s a young actress and we want to give her some support. She’s quite good.“
Sherman sent Wood a bunch of flowers, which The White Lotus star posted on Instagram with the caption: „Thank you for the beautiful flowers.
