Walton Goggins And Aimee Lou Wood Break Silence On Feud Rumours

As for his unfollowing Aimee on Instagram, Walton put this down to wanting to put some distance between himself and The White Lotus once the show was over.

“I knew what we had gone through, and I knew how close that we had gotten, and I needed to begin to process saying goodbye to Rick and Chelsea,” he said, apparently beginning to tear up.

“And I knew that that was going to take a while for me, so I let her know, this is what I’ve gotta do. And she was extremely supportive about that.”

It’s noted in Variety’s piece that Walton had more of a personal connection to Thailand than most of the rest of the cast, as he went travelling near where The White Lotus was filmed years earlier after his first wife died by suicide.

Branding the media furore “ridiculous”, he concluded: “I’m emotional because we haven’t been in the same city to ever talk about this. So for me, this is just so wonderful.”

Variety noted that the interview took place on the first weekend of May, shortly before both actors walked the red carpet separately at this year’s Met Gala.

Since then, Walton’s wife Nadia Conners has also spoken out about rumours of an affair between her husband and his White Lotus co-star, which she took in good humour.
