Key Adjustments:
- Replaced "enemy" (in quotes) with "Co-Star" for clarity, as they shared the show.

Walton Goggins, 53, is set to host Saturday Night Live on May 10, just weeks after the show aired a controversial skit mocking his White Lotus co-star Aimee Lou Wood’s teeth. The timing has fueled rumors of a feud between the actors, who played on-screen couple Rick and Chelsea in Season 3 of the HBO series. Scarlett Johansson will close the season as host on May 17.
SNL Skit Sparks Backlash

The April 13 SNL sketch, The White Potus, reimagined the Trump family and political figures at a resort. Goggins’ character was portrayed as Robert F. Kennedy Jr., while Sherman played Wood’s Chelsea with oversized prosthetic teeth, quipping, “Fluoride? What’s that?” after a rant about removing fluoride from water.
Wood, 31, criticized the “cheap” joke on Instagram, stating, “I love being teased when it’s clever, but the joke was about fluoride. I have big gap teeth, not bad teeth.” She called the skit “punching down” and shared fan messages condemning its “1970s misogyny.”
Feud Rumors Escalate

Fans noted Goggins and Wood unfollowed each other on Instagram, hinting at a fallout. Goggins further stoked speculation by praising the skit as “SMASHING” and shouting out co-star Jon Hamm. Wood, however, shared fan art of them on her Stories, suggesting a truce.
Work Reunion Ahead
Despite the drama, the pair will reportedly reunite for upcoming White Lotus promotions. CNN’s Elizabeth Wagmeister revealed they have a “professional obligation” soon, likely tied to Emmy campaigns. “They’ll have to be in the same room,” she said, downplaying feud severity compared to other Hollywood rifts.

Wood later posted flowers from Sherman, who privately apologized. “Thank you for the beautiful flowers,” she wrote, clarifying her critique targeted the sketch’s concept, not Sherman personally.

As Goggins prepares for his SNL debut, all eyes remain on whether he’ll address the controversy—or his rumored feud—during his monologue. Meanwhile, Wood continues promoting White Lotus, proving professionalism trumps drama in Hollywood.
