'Sinners' actor says BAFTA hasn't reached out after N-word incident with Tourette's advocate
Huffpost ^ | February 23, 2026 | Keby Vera

After a Tourette syndrome advocate shouted the N-word at “Sinners” actors Delroy Lindo and Michael B. Jordan during Sunday’s BAFTA Awards, Lindo says organizers of the event had yet to reach out about the incident.

John Davidson, the inspiration for the BAFTA-nominated biopic “I Swear,” disrupted the ceremony with several involuntary outbursts of expletives and slurs, a symptom of the nervous system disorder.

The interruptions prompted an explanation and apology from host Alan Cumming . . . . But according to Lindo, people behind the BAFTAs did not offer either him or his co-star Jordan the same courtesy.

It still surprises me that the award show is apologizing for the man's disability. He has Tourette's. He did not do it on purpose. Would they apologize if someone with a different disability disrupted the program, or if the Tourette's advocate shouted something other than the "N" word? I guess we now know that race trumps disability in the Woke hierarchy.

This is the most tragic and funniest story I’ve heard in a little while. N word shouted at black people but that’s the guy’s handicap.

Apparently when the queen knighted him, he said “F&ck the Queen!”

Seems that tourettes comes in handy.

What was he doing in a room with nothing but blacks?

Here’s one: If you’re in a recovery room after an operation and you’re coming to how do you keep your mouth shut?

I kept being told about “white fragility” and then I see this.

John Davidson - ‘I have Tourette’s. I yelled “f-— the Queen” when I met her’

And now all the adult children are mad at him because of his disability. What a bunch of ignorant bigots.

I literally just finished watching Sinners. I was not offended by the Tarantinoesque use of the word in that movie. Weird movie. Kind of a black From Dusk til Dawn. Which coincidentally was written by Tarantino. 6.5/10. Pandering Hollywood gave it the most Oscar nominations ever. It’s a friggen B vampire flick.
