Printed
BAFTA Awards host Alan Cumming cited John Davidson‘s Tourette Syndrome as the explanation he shouted the N-word whereas Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo offered onstage … however Jamie Foxx is not shopping for it.
Below an Instagram submit discussing the controversial second, Foxx wrote, “Nah he meant that s**t.”
He adopted up, writing, “Out of all the words you could’ve said Tourette’s makes you say that?”
Davidson, who was identified with Tourette’s at 25, is the inspiration for the BAFTA-winning biopic “I Swear.”
After his outburst, Davidson reportedly excused himself from the ceremony.
Cumming thanked the viewers for his or her “understanding” and issued an apology, saying “Tourette Syndrome is a disability and the tics you’ve heard tonight are involuntary, which means the person who has Tourette Syndrome has no control over their language. We apologize if you are offended tonight.”
“Sinners” manufacturing designer Hannah Beachler took situation with the “throw away apology,” saying it “made the situation worse.”
She posted, “I am not [steel], this did not bounce off of me, but I exist above it. It can’t take away from who I am as an artist.”
