The White Lotusstar Walton Goggins is determined not to talk about the rumored feud between him and co-star Aimee Lou Wood, and he insisted as much in a new interview with The Times. According to the publication, the interview went “off the rails” when Goggins’ was asked about his relationship with Wood, who played his character’s love interest on the show. “I’m not gonna have that conversation,” Goggins said, as his publicist jumped in to add, “We’re not going there.” After more pressing, Goggings was more blunt: “There is no conversation to be had about that,” he said, since commenting would be like “sharing politics on social media—it’s in a vacuum.“ The abrupt attempt to shut down this line of questioning comes as the internet continues to pick apart every interaction (or would-be interaction) between the two stars. Wood unfollowed Goggins’ personal account on Instagram soon after the season finished airing, which kicked off the rumors. Fans found more and more “signs” of a beef between them until Goggins added fuel to the fire by expressing his public amusement at an SNL sketch mocking Wood’s Lotus character, which Wood herself called “unfunny and mean.” Neither actor has publicly commented on the rumors, and Goggins certainly has no intention to. He told his Times interviewer Sunday, “What the f---” after more attempts. “Come on buddy. Wow.”
