i can't stop thinking about michael b jordan and delroy lindo's face when they were called a slur, you literally saw their spark disappear from their eye. now the production designer of sinners is saying john davidson said slurs 3 times to black people last night...💔
BAFTA and the BBC failed Michael B. Jordan, Delroy Lindo, the Tourette's community and viewers when they allowed the N-word to be aired during the BAFTA Film Awards ceremony. With a tape delay, this moment could have been handled differently. The audio could have been muted in the broadcast. The segment could have been edited. Instead, the slur went out. And now it lives online — free to be clipped, circulated, divorced from explanation and used as shorthand outrage. Or worse, it can be used to spread hate. variety.com/2026/film/awar…
BAFTAs host Alan Cumming delivered a message after the ceremony was interrupted by Tourette’s campaigner John Davidson yelling the N-word while Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo were on stage: “You may have noticed some strong language in the background there, this can be part of how Tourette’s syndrome shows up for some people as the film explores that experience” Cumming later said he was sorry if anyone was offended and that “the tics are involuntary” (via Deadline)

@Moe_Cheekss @AshNicoleMoss I totally understand why you might feel that way, I honestly do. I’ve been sending this on but there are some really great people online spreading more awareness to the Tourette’s disease that are worth checking out to get a better understanding. KillK1yoshi is great 🙌

Michael B Jordan & Delroy Lindo really held themselves well after hearing someone shout N***** at them while presenting. While John Davidson can’t help it due to his condition, it was a hard watch to see the pain in their eyes on stage.
