Aimee Lou Wood was gifted flowers from “Saturday Night Live” comedian Sarah Sherman who mocked the actress in a “White Lotus” parody skit over the weekend.
The “Sex Education” star took to her Instagram Story Tuesday to share a snap of the bouquet with the caption, “Thank you for the beautiful flowers @sarahsquirm.”
Wood received the floral arrangement after calling out the sketch comedy show for poking fun at her teeth in a pre-taped parody of the HBO series.
Sherman, 32, played Wood’s “White Lotus” character, Chelsea, in the skit with fake teeth and an exaggerated British accent.
While the bit mostly focused on making fun of Donald Trump and other politicians, Sherman dramatically flaunted the prosthetics while mockingly questioning the use of fluoride, which prevents tooth decay.
Wood, 31, shared her issues with the portrayal via her Instagram Stories Sunday.
“I did find the ‘SNL’ thing mean and unfunny,” she wrote.
“Such a shame cuz I had such a great time watching it a couple of weeks ago,” the actress continued.
“Yes, take the piss for sure — that’s what the show is about- but there must be a cleverer, more nuanced, less cheap way?”
Wood later claimed that “SNL” had apologized to her.
The “Living” star’s look-alike sister, Emily Wood, also came to her defense, referring to Aimee as a “POWERHOUSE” and “incomparable.”
However, the actress’ “White Lotus” co-star Walton Goggins, who portrayed her onscreen love interest, Rick, praised the skit as “amazzzingggg” amid rumors of their feud.
Fans assumed the two were at odds when both Aimee and Goggins failed to tag each other in their respective “White Lotus” tributes on Instagram after the Season 3 finale earlier this month.
Aimee, meanwhile, was photographed crying in London Monday after blasting “SNL.”
She later clarified that her emotional breakdown wasn’t because of the sketch.
