Description
BBC is wildin. John Davidson, the Scottish Tourette’s syndrome activist and real-life inspiration for “I Swear,” was thrust into the spotlight at the 79th BAFTA Awards when his involuntary vocal tics disrupted the ceremony, including an outburst of racial slurs that occurred as “Sinners” stars Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo presented an award.
Since then, several Black Tourettes sufferers have come out with explanations of how that could occur, especially timely since Ablist vs Racist discourse was poisoning the timeline.
Since the fallout, Davidson’s team shares that he’s reached out to the studio handling “Sinners” in order to directly apologize to Jordan and Lindo. As mitigating as his condition may be for his behavior, no such explanation is available to BAFTA or the BBC, who decided to leave the moment in, despite having hours to remedy because the show was pre taped. To make matters worse, other moments, and outburst were removed from the broadcast.
The real kicker here is Delroy Lindo has come out to say neither he nor Michael B Jordan were spoken to in the moments before or after the infamous outburst. Bafta out here lookin crazy.
