Aimee Lou Wood’s sister is on her side.
The “White Lotus” star’s younger sibling, Emily Wood, defended the actress in a touching Instagram Story tribute after a “Saturday Night Live” skit mocked her teeth.
The makeup artist, 28, began Sunday’s lengthy upload by calling Aimee, 31, her world with an Earth emoji.
“She is out here personifying the word POWERHOUSE,” Emily captioned a selfie. “Beyond comprehension. JUST like my feelings of deep animalistic protectiveness over her.
“The greatest big sister,” she continued. “My best human on the planet. Her authenticity and originality is incomparable.”
Emily concluded by sharing how “really madly blessed” she feels to be living “at the same time as her.”
She went on to gush over Aimee’s “berserk” Burberry shoot as she walked past a billboard.
Her praise comes on the heels of Aimee blasting “SNL” for their “White Potus” sketch, in which comedian Sarah Sherman parodied her by wearing fake teeth and making a fluoride joke.
“I did find the ‘SNL’ thing mean and unfunny,” the “Sex Education” alum told her Instagram followers.
She clarified that she is OK to “take the piss, for sure” — but thought the spoof could have been done in a “less cheap way.”
Aimee, who took issue with the “concept” itself and not Sherman, explained, “I have a big gap not bad teeth.”
Her “White Lotus” co-star Walton Goggins, notably, called the skit “amazing” and “smashing” via Instagram.
The actor and Aimee acted as love interests in Season 3 of the HBO show, playing Rick and Chelsea, respectively.
After the finale aired earlier this month, however, the duo made headlines for an alleged feud as they no longer follow each other on Instagram.
While fellow cast member Jason Isaacs also admitted to their “pressure cooker” set including “arguments” and “cliques that form and break and re-form,” Goggins and Aimee have yet to comment on the rumors.
