During Black History Month??? Tourette Syndrome activist John Davidson was heard shouting the N-word during Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo’s presentation at the BAFTA Film Awards on Sunday.<\/p>\n
Michael and Delroy’s professionalism kept the show going without too much of a hiccup. The two just calmly continued presenting the award for best visual effects to “Avatar: Fire and Ash.”<\/p>\n
But we’re guessing the mood in the room was pretty dour after the shocking outburst, because host Alan Cumming issued an apology.<\/p>\n
He said, “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.”<\/p>\n

Davidson, who was diagnosed with Tourette Syndrome at 25, is the inspiration for the BAFTA-nominated movie “I Swear.”<\/p>\n
He made a number of outbursts throughout the ceremony, including “shut the f**k up” at BAFTA chair Sara Putt, and “f**k you” when the directors of “Arco” won for best children’s and family film.<\/p>\n
