The BAFTAS, the UK’s version of the Oscars, turned controversial, after an attendee with Tourette’s syndrome interrupted the ceremony. John Davidson, who’s life with the motor disorder inspired the nominated film, ‘I Swear,’ shouted out the n-word while ‘Sinners’ stars Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo took the stage to present. A source telling ET, the pair found the incident ‘jarring and disappointing,’ though Michael is said to overall still be in good spirits.

free Palestine stop genocide
He should not have gone in the first place
Tourettes lets out your inner thoughts… So that was not accidental, just revealed his beliefs on a public stage and if it was about any other group. It would not be brushed off this carelessly
Alan Cummings with the half considered if you were offended. He is the victim and so are the 2 men on the recieving end of it. Alan out here giving hunger games 😂
If you were offended???? Says everything.🤔🤔🤔
Pre-recorded AND they still left it in, speaks volumes
Humm it was deliberate !
Michael B should of saw him back stage . Haha Bet that racial burst would be erased from his vocabulary.
😊 Welcome 2 Europe Good Lad ⛫. That's how they get down. You can tell him off in the pub after over ah pint and I'm sure you'd have much more material + offensive banter to say about that tourettes prick than he has to say about you. MBJ is definitely witty + clever.
Yeah.nWhatever
Who cares
he didn't call the white folks name Im sure
He didn’t need to be there tbh just because the film is about him
They need to keep racist Tourette’s having ass outta award shows
Michael B look at Delroy like, " Did you hear that?" 🥴
Their white splaining was offensive, of course Jamie Foxx defending white man, that’s in his contract
Out of all the words he could have said… That's the word he choose……..ok
That's what he wanted to say. And the condition truly helped him
Johnny the BIG pig like Alan. We see and know how you realy feel. Thats why we in your face. Who God bless no one curse😊
If anyone looks up the science behind this form of tourettes syndrome, you would know its involuntary…"It results from "faulty wiring" in brain regions controlling inhibition, particularly the basal ganglia and limbic system, often acting as a release for building tension"…limbic system controls emotion which is high high strung emotive language is used, and basal ganglia regulates voluntary motor movements, procedural learning, habit formation
I call bull**
Bringing awareness to conditions like this is extremely important. Before BAFTA i had no idea I had tourettes
That's What Black Excellence Looks Like Well Done Gentlemen WELLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL DONE!!!
He should've been removed. Plain and simple. He knew when to say it!
When they go low, you go high!
How was he so loud? Did he have a microphone on him?
Thanks, guys, for being gentlemen.. when yall could have acted like ….
He could have tourette's and be extremely racist also
So they edited the guy saying Free Palestine but not this man involuntarily saying the disrespectful slur, do better BBC and the world in general.SMDH
We apologize if you were offended, this statement is offensive. The N word is offensive already.
Man please he is racist end of story
Nope. Why was it that word.
Why he didn't say cat, ball, even $itch,
He should be prohibited from awards.
They couldve edited this out, bleeped on TV, or just not had the guy there to have such an outburst smh. So much wrong here.
The guy has tourette's and I feel absolutely sorry for him. I no it s not nice to hear but it was a true accident that has completely blown out of control
Yeah sure ok
No excuses the fool is just racist.
They edited out other moments, but kept the N word incident, yea, ok so racist outburst is part of Tourette’s, but he couldn’t yell not one single positive thing….GTFOH! If you let people play in your face they will.
Did he also yell out any homophobic slurs? I bet not…..
Tick or tick he would have received a sock (to the face)
Michael has used the word himself in several movies.
The fact that both continued and maintained the highest level of professionalism deserves praise.
Racist involuntary. Nonsense. UK thinks all of us are slaves that clean their toilets. I am so angry
Downplaying nonsense
