Aimee Lou Wood and Walton Goggins on ‘ridiculous' feud rumours
There has been speculation that the two co-stars had drifted apart after being on the HBO show, which follows the lives of guests and staff at a luxury resort as dark secrets are revealed and tensions rise over the course of the holiday.
The third series sees the positive Chelsea, played by British actress Wood, 31, try to keep her mysterious older boyfriend, Rick, played by 53-year-old US actor Goggins, calm in Thailand.
Following the 2025 series, Goggins appeared to step away from his fellow co-stars, and unfollow Greater Manchester-born Wood on Instagram.
They both addressed the swirling rumours during a joint interview for US publication Variety, which was published on Wednesday.
Goggins said: 'There is no feud. I adore, I love this woman (Aimee) madly, and she is so important to me.'
He added that 'she's special', and explained he had not addressed the reports before as he did not want to talk about Wood when she was not there.
'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,' Wood said.
Goggins said that when he finished The White Lotus he 'needed to just back away from everyone', as it is his 'process' when filming a project ends.
'It's all so ridiculous,' he said.
'It's just a part of me just saying goodbye to this character so that now Aimee and I will be friends for f****** ever.'
Wood previously criticised a Saturday Night Live sketch, with an cast member impersonating her with exaggerated prosthetic teeth, calling it 'mean and unfunny' on Instagram.
She told Variety that it 'felt misogynistic. It felt like the punchline was a woman's appearance, which is just not funny. It's not cool'.
Goggins shared the same sketch online and praised Jon Hamm for playing a version of his character, before deleting the Instagram post, ahead of hosting SNL>
He said he was 'gonna say it (something) to your face', and added: 'I don't use social media in any way, and I'm not a mean guy.'
SNL apologised for the April sketch, according to Wood, and the comedian and cast member who impersonated her, Sarah Sherman, sent her flowers to apologise.
Wood is also known for Netflix teen show Sex Education, BBC comedy Daddy Issues and the 2022 drama film Living with Bill Nighy.
Goggins has been in Western series Justified, post-apocalyptic series Fallout, and drama Sons Of Anarchy.
He has had two Emmy nods, while Wood has won a TV Bafta for Sex Education and been given a Rising Star Bafta nomination.

Kylie Jenner ‘got a nose job, chin and jaw remodeling, fillers and fat transfers' in addition to boob job, experts say
KYLIE Jenner has gone under-the-knife to get her nose done, chin and jaw remodeled, and fat transfers in addition to her boob job, experts predict to The U.S. Sun. Fresh off the heels of admitting to getting breast implants and revealing details of her makeover, fans have begged the Kylie Cosmetics founder to spill more of her plastic surgery secrets.

While Kylie, 27, has now revealed that she's gotten a breast augmentation as well as filler to her lips for years, there appear to be other procedures she may have had done that she has not yet been open about. Speaking exclusively to The U.S. Sun, 'Her body changes may also reflect fat transfer procedures or body sculpting, which are common among celebrities."

According to Dr. Bansal, a 445 cc implant 'generally equates to roughly a 1.5 to 2-cup size increase.' The size change is dependent on the patient's body frame and existing breast tissue. Kylie Jenner reveals plastic surgery secrets including doctor details and breast implant size in buried TikTok comment 'For someone of Kylie's more petite build, this would have likely taken her from an A or small B cup to a full C or D,' the respected surgeon said.

Dr. Bansal also revealed the benefits of the procedure Kylie chose, explaining: 'A dual-plane, or 'half under the muscle' placement, allows the upper portion of the implant to be covered by muscle for a more natural slope. 'While the lower half sits under breast tissue to enhance projection. 'This technique reduces the risk of visible rippling and offers a more natural appearance, especially in thinner patients.'

Kylie Jenner has two children with her ex Travis Scott: However, breast implants are not lifetime devices, Dr. Bansal warns, and she may need to have future procedures to maintain her health. 'Most require replacement or revision within 10–15 years, sometimes sooner if complications arise. 'Even if the implants are intact, aesthetic preferences change, and women often seek updates for size, shape, or symmetry,especially after major life changes like pregnancy,' the highly renowned surgeon said.

Over $100b wiped off Tesla's value after spectacular war of words between Trump and Musk
DONALD TRUMP AND Elon Musk's unlikely political marriage has exploded in a fiery public divorce, with the US president threatening to strip the billionaire of his huge government contracts in revenge. During a televised Oval Office diatribe, Trump said that he was 'very disappointed' after his former aide and top donor criticised his 'big, beautiful' spending bill before Congress. The pair then hurled insults at each other on social media, with Musk even posting that Trump was referenced in US government documents on disgraced financier and sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, without providing any proof. The row could have major political and economic fallout, as shares in Musk's Tesla car company plunged and the South African-born tech tycoon vowed that he would end a critical US spaceship program. Speculation had long swirled that a relationship between the world's richest person and its most powerful could not last long – but the speed of the meltdown took Washington by surprise. 'I'm very disappointed in Elon. I've helped Elon a lot,' Trump told reporters in the Oval Office as visiting German Chancellor Friedrich Merz looked on silently. 'Elon and I had a great relationship. I don't know if we will anymore.' Trump noted in a 10-minute diatribe that it had been only a week since he hosted a grand farewell for Musk as he left the cost-cutting Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE). Trump later called Musk 'crazy' and insisted he had asked the tycoon to leave because he was 'wearing thin.' Advertisement 'Ingratitude' Musk hit back in real time on his X social media platform, saying the Republican would not have won the 2024 election without him and slamming Trump for 'ingratitude.' Such ingratitude — Elon Musk (@elonmusk) June 5, 2025 As the spat got increasingly vindictive, Musk also posted that Trump 'is in the Epstein files,' referring to US government documents on Epstein, whose suicide in jail while awaiting trial in 2019 sparked a major conspiracy theory. 'Have a nice day, DJT!' added Musk. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt told AFP that Musk's Epstein tweet 'is an unfortunate episode from Elon, who is unhappy with the 'One Big Beautiful Bill' because it does not include the policies he wanted.' Musk, who was Trump's biggest campaign donor to the tune of $300 million, separately claimed the Republican would not have won the 2024 election without his support and accused him of 'such ingratitude.' He replied 'yes' to a post suggesting Trump should be impeached, and blasted Trump's global tariffs for risking a recession. Trump finally suggested hitting the 'crazy' entrepreneur where it hurts, threatening Musk's multibillion-dollar government contracts including for launching rockets and for the use of the Starlink satellite service. 'The easiest way to save money in our Budget, Billions and Billions of Dollars, is to terminate Elon's Governmental Subsidies and Contracts,' Trump said on Truth Social.

Alamy Stock Photo Alamy Stock Photo Again Musk fired back, with the SpaceX chief saying he would begin 'decommissioning' his company's Dragon spacecraft – vital for ferrying NASA astronauts to and from the International Space Station – in response. Related Reads 'I can't take it anymore': Elon Musk slams Trump-backed US public spending plan Elon Musk leaves role at the White House after criticising Trump's 'big, beautiful bill' Tesla profits plunge 71% as Elon Musk says he will 'significantly' reduce work for Trump in May He later appeared to walk that back, replying to a user on Twitter: 'OK, we won't decommission Dragon,' though his tone was unclear. 'Abomination' When the crossfire finally relented after several astonishing hours, Tesla had seen more than $100 billion (€87 billion) wiped off the company's value. Trump and Musk's whirlwind relationship had initially blossomed, with the president backing DOGE's cost-cutting rampage through the US government and the tycoon sleeping over at the White House and traveling on Air Force One. But the 53-year-old ultimately lasted just four months on the job, becoming increasingly disillusioned with the slow pace of change and clashing with some of Trump's cabinet members. The two men had however kept tensions over Trump's tax and spending mega-bill relatively civil – until Musk described the plan, the centerpiece of Trump's domestic policy agenda for his second term, as an 'abomination' because he says it will increase the US deficit. Washington will now intently watch the fallout from the row. Musk posted a poll on whether he should form a new political party – a seismic threat from a man who has signaled he is ready to use his wealth to unseat Republican lawmakers who disagree with him. Meanwhile, Trump ally Steve Bannon – a vocal opponent of Musk – called for the tycoon to be deported, the New York Times reported.
