Walton Goggins is fanning the flames of Aimee Lou Wood feud rumors.

“Jon I knew I was miscast,” he wrote, referencing Jon Hamm portraying Robert F. Kennedy Jr. while channeling his character, Rick.

The “Justified” star also commented on the “SNL” Instagram account, “Hahahahahhahaha Amazzzingggg.”

Reps for Goggins and Wood did not immediately respond to Page Six’s requests for comment.

The Emmy nominee’s reaction notably came after Wood, 31, criticized her “mean” and “unfunny” portrayal.

In the clip, Hamm, 54, said he had “all these crazy ideas,” like injecting a “syringe full of active measles virus” into someone.

He added, “What if we took all the fluoride out of the drinking water? What would that do to people’s teeth?”

Hamm addressed Sarah Sherman, who was parodying Wood’s character, Chelsea, with a set of fake teeth.

“Fluoride?” the comedian, 32, asked. “What’s that?”

Goggins posted his praise after Wood made her criticism clear.

Wood later wrote via her Instagram Stories that the show could have taken a “cleverer, more nuanced, less cheap” approach since she has “a big gap not bad teeth.”

The “Sex Education” alum, who clarified that she has an issue with the “concept” not Sherman, later confirmed she received an apology from “SNL.”

Wood and Goggins, who played love interests who came to a tragic demise in Season 3 of “The White Lotus,” have yet to address headlines about their alleged feud.

Speculation started when eagle-eyed social media users noticed the duo do not follow each other on Instagram.

The rumors began heating up when fellow cast member Jason Isaacs spoke to “Happy Hour” listeners about “arguments” occurring on set.

“There’s friendships, there’s romances, there’s arguments, there’s cliques that form and break and re-form and stuff like that,” he said Wednesday of the “pressure cooker” experience.
