The White Lotus star Aimee Lou Wood says she does not regret speaking out against a viral comedy sketch that poked fun at her teeth.
The actor and writer was portrayed on variety show Saturday Night Live (SNL) with a pronounced accent and large teeth for a joke about fluoride - a gag that Wood criticised at the time as "mean and unfunny".
Speaking about the furore over the skit, Wood, 31, told BBC News: "I don't regret saying it because it was breaking a pattern, which is what I would usually do - what I did when I was younger and got bullied."
She added that on seeing the sketch, she thought: "I have a choice here to go in and be embarrassed about it and just say 'I didn't like that. It was mean'."
The SNL sketch, which aired in April, was criticised by one viewer as taking "a screeching turn into 1970s misogyny" - a comment Wood reposted on social media - and prompted a climbdown by show bosses, who Wood said apologised.
