Aimee Lou Wood<\/a> has revealed the truth behind the pictures showing her crying after she criticised a Saturday Night Live<\/a> sketch that mocked her.<\/p>\n

The White Lotus star made an appearance at last night’s Met Gala<\/a> alongside her co-star Patrick Schwarzenegger<\/a>, where she wore a black suit-inspired outfit by designer Priya Ahluwalia.<\/p>\n

Last month, the US TV show SNL sparked backlash after comic Sarah Sherman played a spoof version of Aimee’s White Lotus character with oversized prosthetic teeth, which the actress called ‘mean and unfunny’<\/a>.<\/p>\n

While it was claimed that SNL didn’t formally apologise to Aimee, Sarah made the gesture of sending her flowers<\/a> following the widespread criticism.<\/p>\n

In the weeks after the sketch originally aired, Aimee was spotted crying in London with her friend, prompting fans to speculate if the skit had been the cause of her tears at the time.<\/p>\n

However, she has now set the record straight to shut down the speculation.<\/p>\n
