{{/usCountry}}Aimee took to her Instagram stories to talk about it. “I did find the SNL thing mean and unfunny xo. (Felt righteous, might delete later),” she wrote. She added in another post: “Such a shame cuz I had such a great time watching it a couple of weeks ago. Yes, take the piss for sure — that’s what the show is about- but there must be a cleverer, more nuanced, less cheap way?”
The actor said that SNL did apologise to her and added she doesn't blame Sarah for it. “Last thing I’ll say on the matter. I am not thin skinned. 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 gap teeth not bad teeth. I don’t mind 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 on... Okay end of…,” she said in her post.
