In a series of Instagram stories, Wood stated the skit was “mean and unfunny” and that there “must be a cleverer, more nuanced, less cheap way” to poke fun.
“I am not thin-skinned,” she wrote. “I actually love being taken the piss out of when it’s clever and in good spirits. But the joke was about fluoride. I have big teeth, not bad teeth. I don’t mind the caricature — I understand that’s what SNL is. But the rest of the skit was punching up, and I/Chelsea was the only one punched down.”
However, the 31-year-old noted that she was not “hating on” Sarah Sherman but “hated the concept.” She also reposted a comment from an unnamed user who wrote, “It was a sharp and funny skit until it suddenly took a screeching turn into 1970s misogyny,” which she captioned, “This sums up my view.”
On Sunday, Wood wrote in another Instagram story, “I’ve had apologies from SNL.“
