Walton Goggins SNAPS when asked about Aimee Lou Wood as he ‘sends interview off the rails’ amid ‘feud’ with The White Lotus co-star

Walton Goggins dramatically ‘derailed’ an interview four times when he was asked about his alleged feud with his White Lotus co-star Aimee Lou Wood. 

The actor, 53, and actress, 31, played a couple on the HBO Max hit but have sparked speculation of a feud after fans noticed they no longer follow each other on Instagram.

Adding fuel to the fire, he shut down questions about Aimee during an interview with The Times’ Ed Porton, who noted the interview ‘went off the rails’ when he attempted to bring up his co-star. 

When first asked about his relationship with Amy, Walton seemed stern and replied: ‘I’m not gonna have that conversation.’

‘We’re not going there, thank you,’ added one publicist, who was sitting in on the interview, while another publicist moved on the conversation. 

Ed pressed once more about their friendship as he asked whether Aimee would be present when Walton hosts Saturday Night Live next week, questioning whether ‘a rapprochement was  looming’.

Yet Walton refused to respond, prompting his publicist to jump in and suggest they talk more about his upcoming movie, The Uninvited. 

Ed pressed again on the subject of Aimee, to which Walton insisted: ‘There is no conversation to be had about that. Sharing politics on social media — it’s in a vacuum.’ 

He made a final attempt to bring up his co-star, to which Walton snapped back: ‘What the f**k, Ed! Come on buddy. Wow,’ and his publicists promptly brought the interview to an end. 

Reports about Walton and Aimee’s ‘feud’ intensified after Amy was left in tears over a ‘cruel and unfunny’ Saturday Night Live (SNL) sketch. 

During an episode that aired last month, Amy’s smile was mocked with exaggerated prosthetic teeth which Walton was caught liking a clip of online.

Reacting to the video shared on SNL’s social media, Walton commented, ‘Hahahahahhahaha Amazzzingggg,’ though it remains unclear if he was referring to the entire sketch or the part targeting Amy. 

In the skit, тιтled The White POTUS, SNL reimagined the Trump family and various political figures on a White Lotus-style vacation. 

Walton’s character Rick was portrayed as Robert F. Kennedy Jr., shown rambling about how they should ‘take all the fluoride out of the water.’

The camera then cut to Aimee’s character Chelsea — played by Sarah Sherman — who appeared with exaggerated buck teeth and asked, ‘Fluoride? What’s that?’

Aimee didn’t hold back in her response as she slammed  the segment for being lazy and cruel. 

She said: ‘Such a shame cuz I had such a great time watching it a couple weeks ago. 

‘Yes, take the p**s for sure — that’s what the show is about — but there must be a cleverer, more nuanced, less cheap way?’

She added that she’d received ‘thousands’ of supportive messages from fans and her sister Emily. 

‘I am not thin-skinned. I actually love being taken the p**s out of when it’s clever and in good spirits,’ she penned. ‘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 ended her statement by reposting a comment from a fan who said, ‘It was a sharp and funny skit until it suddenly took a screeching turn into 1970’s misogyny,’ with Aimee adding, ‘This sums up my view.’

In what many saw as a peace offering, Aimee later shared a fan drawing of her and Walton in character on The White Lotus, suggesting tensions may have cooled. 

The artwork was posted to her Instagram Stories with no caption — but it spoke volumes.

The post came amid reports the two are expected to reunite soon for a professional obligation.

Entertainment reporter Elizabeth Wagmeister shared on The Viall Files podcast that she learned ‘off the record’ the pair are set to ‘do something professionally in the coming weeks together.’

‘So, if there really is a feud, this has not stopped them… It’s not like they can’t be in the same room,’ Wagmeister added, hinting that the rift may not be as explosive as other rumored co-star feuds, like Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni.

And in a surprising turn, Aimee revealed she received a heartfelt apology from SNL cast member Sarah Sherman — days after she was seen crying in London. 

Posting a pH๏τo of a beautiful floral arrangement to her Instagram Story, Aimee captioned it, ‘Thank you for the beautiful flowers.’

The White Lotus star made it clear her issue was never with Sarah personally: ‘I wasn’t hating on her — I was hating on the sketch.’
