Aimee Lou Wood Receives Death Threats Over Anti-War Speech Post

Following the U.S. military's bombing of Iranian nuclear sites, actress Aimee Lou Wood posted a clip of British politician Tony Benn's 1998 anti-war speech, emphasizing the impact of war on innocent civilians. In response, Wood received vile threats of violence and death, which she publicly condemned on Instagram, highlighting the polarized and hostile reactions to anti-war sentiments. President Donald Trump described the U.S. strikes as a "very successful attack," a move that also drew criticism from other celebrities like Mark Ruffalo, who condemned the action as unauthorized and illegal without Congressional approval. Ruffalo urged Congress to act quickly to stop what he called an unauthorized war escalation. Wood's experience underscores the tense political climate and the risks faced by public figures who speak against military actions in this contentious period. Additionally, Wood has shared personal reflections on her recent filming experiences and the emotional impact of separation from her castmates on the HBO show The White Lotus.
