SNL Apologizes to ‘White Lotus’ Actress for Trump Skit

NBC’s “Saturday Night Live” issued a rare apology following backlash over a skit that spoofed HBO’s “The White Lotus” and featured President Donald Trump and his family at a resort. The skit mocked actress Aimee Lou Wood’s appearance. Wood criticized the joke as “mean and unfunny” on Instagram. SNL apologized to Wood, who noted that the rest of the skit was “punching up” while she was “punched down on.” This marks one of the few times SNL has issued an apology in its 50-year history.
