Wood clarified her stance in a second post, writing, “I actually love being taken the p*** 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,” she continued. “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. It was not Sarah Squirm’s fault and not hate on her. Hating on the concept.”
