Walton Goggins Speaks Out About Rumoured Aimee Lou Wood Fall-Out

The White Lotus star Walton Goggins has addressed the ongoing speculation about supposed behind-the-scenes drama on the hit US show.

Last month, Walton and co-star Aimee Lou Wood found themselves at the centre of headlines about their friendship when it emerged they were no longer following one another on Instagram, particularly when fans noticed that it looked as though the former had blocked the latter on the platform.

Exacerbating the situation even further is the fact that co-star Jason Isaacs had made several comments about fall-outs among the cast while promoting the third season of The White Lotus.

During a new interview with The Standard, Walton said that he would not be “going to go too far down this path” when pressed on the rumours.

“But I will say this,” he continued. “With anything that commands the public’s attention, there will be a lot of scrutiny on it. But with everything in life, it will flow, and it will ebb and people will move on to something else. 

“I’m just grateful so many people were invested emotionally in [Rick and Chelsea’s story in the show].”

He did also praise Aimee – who he now appears to be following again – later in the conversation, hailing her as an “incredible actor” and “such an incredible storyteller”.

Earlier this week, Aimee was similarly complimentary about Walton, when asked about him on the red carpet of the Met Gala.

“I loved working with Walton, it was the best thing ever,” she enthused.

However, while both Aimee and Walton were in attendance at this year’s Met Ball, they were not seen together.

Last week, an interview was published with Walton in The Times, which was shut down prematurely after the outlet’s reporter repeatedly asked questions about Aimee.

“I’m not gonna have that conversation,” Walton insisted when asked directly if they’d fallen out, after which his UK and US publicists tried to move the conversation along.

Later in the interview, he was asked about hosting SNL just weeks after Aimee publicly called out the show over a skit which made fun of her teeth, prompting no response from the Emmy nominee.

After one “last forlorn attempt” to bring the interview back to Aimee, he seemingly responded “what the fuck?” after which his publicist put an end to the conversation.
