The BBC and BAFTA issued apologies after John Davidson, whose life inspired the film "I Swear", used a racial slur during a televised ceremony while Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo were on stage.The incident drew sharp criticism because the offensive language was not edited out of the tape-delayed broadcast or the BBC iPlayer streaming service before being removed.Tourettes Action CEO Emma McNally clarified the outbursts were involuntary neurological tics, while production designer Hannah Beachler reported the slur was used multiple times.
