The White Lotus stars Walton Goggins, Aimee Lou Wood say 'there is no feud', reveal why he unfollowed her on Instagram
The White Lotus season 3 not only broke viewership records when it was released earlier this year but also generated its fair share of controversies. The popular show featured a new on-screen pairing: Walton Goggins and Aimee Lou Wood. If rumour mills were to be believed, the two had an infamous falling out after the show, with Walton unfollowing Aimee on Instagram. However, the duo has now rubbished those reports, saying there is no feud.
In a joint interaction with Variety, their first since the show's release, Walton opened up: 'There is no feud. I adore, I love this woman madly, and she is so important to me. This is Goldie Hawn. This is Meg Ryan. She can do anything, and she will. You watch what the next 20 years of her experience will be. I'll be on an island, I think Greece. But she's special. There is no feud. She is love, and I know that I am that to her. We care about each other very deeply.' The actor was on the verge of choking up as he praised his co-star.
The rumours of the feud began when Walton unfollowed Aimee on Instagram right after the show began streaming. Addressing this, she said, 'I think it's such a comment on where we're at culturally. Why is everyone obsessing over Instagram? That is irrelevant. We don't give a shite about Instagram. Why not have conversations about the story and Rick and Chelsea (their characters) and enjoy it?' Aimee added that initially, she wanted to address the reports, but then 'just started to sit back and watch these people making something out of absolutely nothing'.
Created by Mike White, The White Lotus is a black comedy anthology with each season set in a new luxury resort around the world. Season 3 was set in Thailand, and starred Leslie Bibb, Carrie Coon, Walton Goggins, Sarah Catherine Hook, Jason Isaacs, Lalisa Manobal, Michelle Monaghan, Sam Nivola, Lek Patravadi, Parker Posey, Patrick Schwarzenegger, Tayme Thapthimthong, Aimee Lou Wood, Sam Rockwell and Scott Glenn. It received critical acclaim.

Last Updated: Akhil Akkineni and Zainab Ravdjee got married in an intimate wedding ceremony in Hyderabad on Friday, June 6, in the presence of their near and dear ones. Nagarjuna and Amala Akkineni's son, actor Akhil Akkineni, has tied the knot with his long-time girlfriend, entrepreneur Zainab Ravdjee. The lovebirds got married in an intimate wedding ceremony in Hyderabad on Friday, June 6, in the presence of their near and dear ones. For the wedding, both Akhil and Zainab opted for traditional South Indian wedding attire. The couple dated for quite some time before getting engaged in November 2024. While Akhil is a popular name in the regional industry, not much information about his now-wife, Zainab, is known to the public. If you are wondering who Zainab Ravdjee is, look no further. Who is Zainab Ravdjee? Zainab Ravdjee is the daughter of industrialist Zulfi Ravdjee, who is a prominent name in the construction industry and has strong connections in the film industry and politics. Reportedly, her brother, Zain Ravdjee, is the chairman and managing director of a company focused on renewable energy solutions, ZR Renewable Energy Pvt Ltd. Zainab was born and raised in Hyderabad and is currently based in Mumbai. Zainab is a popular name in the world of art. She is known for creating abstract and impressionist works. Her first major art exhibition, titled Reflections, was held in her hometown, Hyderabad. Despite being in a relationship with Akhil Akkineni, Zainab has preferred a life away from the limelight. That's why she has kept her Instagram profile locked. But her bio revealed that she also used to run a page called OnceUponTheSkin, an account dedicated to all things skincare. The page offered skincare advice, solutions for various skin-related concerns and skincare products. She is also a bespoke perfumer. In November last year, Zainab got engaged to Akhil Akkineni. The couple, who had kept their relationship private till then, officially announced their engagement by posting some dreamy pictures. The actor introduced his fiancee to the world, saying, 'Found my forever. Happy to announce that Zainab Ravdjee and I are happily engaged." Akhil and Zainab reportedly met during their horse-riding practice and soon developed feelings for one another. The couple faced immense criticism back when they shared news of their engagement due to their 9-year age gap and different faiths. Back then, Akhil was 30, and Zainab was 39. The couple, however, did not pay much heed to the noises and are now happily married. First Published: June 06, 2025, 18:01 IST
