Aimee Lou Wood has revealed that she has been sent 'vile death threats' after sharing a clip of Tony Benn's famous anti-war speech following US strikes on Iran

"White Lotus Star Aimee Lou Wood Reveals She's Been Hit with Vile Death Threats After Speaking Out Against War!"

The stunning actress, known for her roles in the hit HBO series The White Lotus and the upcoming film The School of Good and Evil, has been targeted by vicious cyberbullies after sharing a powerful anti-war speech by the late politician Tony Benn.

In a shocking revelation, Aimee Lou Wood, 31, revealed that she's received vile death threats and violent messages simply for expressing her opposition to war and innocent people dying. The actress took to social media to share a clip of Tony Benn's passionate speech from 1998, highlighting the devastating impact of war on civilian populations.

After sharing Aimee revealed: 'Love getting vile threats of violence and death just for saying I'm against war and innocent people dying... The world is crazy'

But instead of cowering in fear, Aimee decided to stand tall and speak out against the toxic vitriol spewing forth online. "Love getting vile threats of violence and death just for saying I'm against war and innocent people dying... The world is crazy," she wrote on her Instagram story, obscuring her face with a text overlay.

This comes as tensions between the United States and Iran continue to escalate, with the US launching airstrikes against Iranian nuclear sites last Sunday. The move has sparked widespread outrage, with many calling for a peaceful resolution to the conflict.

Meanwhile, Aimee's co-stars from The White Lotus have been rallying around her, showing their support for the embattled actress. Her on-screen love interest, Walton Goggins, 53, recently gushed about his admiration for Aimee in an interview with Variety, calling her "Goldie Hawn" and "Meg Ryan"-level talented.

The pair's relationship has been subject to intense scrutiny online, with fans speculating about their alleged feud. However, in a recent tell-all interview, Walton revealed that there was no truth to the rumors, stating that he and Aimee are on good terms. "I adore, I love this woman madly, and she is so important to me," he said.

Aimee echoed his sentiments, telling The Scholarly Note that she values her bond with her co-stars above all else. "It's amazing though because we've found family, it's just beautiful really," she gushed about their experience filming the series together in Thailand.

The cast of The White Lotus has been open about the intense emotional toll of filming the show, which took place over seven months at the Four Seasons resort in Koh Samui. Aimee confessed to feeling a deep sense of separation anxiety after being apart from her co-stars for so long, likening it to spending two summer camps back-to-back.

As tensions continue to simmer between the US and Iran, Aimee's words of caution are more relevant than ever. By speaking out against war and violence, she's sending a powerful message that we can all get behind: that love, kindness, and compassion must always be our guiding principles.

And who knows? Maybe Walton's praise for Aimee will inspire her to continue shining bright, despite the haters and trolls trying to bring her down. After all, as the saying goes, "if you're not living on the edge, you're taking up too much space!"
