BAFTAs Apologize After Guest with Tourette Syndrome Uses Racial Slur

BAFTAs Issue Apology Over Racial Slur Incident

The British Academy Film Awards (BAFTAs) have apologized after a guest with Tourette syndrome used a racial slur during the ceremony.

John Davidson, who has Tourette syndrome, caused the incident due to involuntary tics. The BBC broadcast included the slur but has since removed it from its platforms.

BAFTA acknowledged the harm caused and apologized unreservedly to those impacted, including Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo.
