John Davidson says he is “deeply mortified” that anyone thought his involuntary tics were “intentional or to carry any meaning.”
Full statement:
“I wanted to thank BAFTA and everyone involved in the awards last night for their support and understanding and inviting me to attend the broadcast. I appreciated the announcement to the auditorium in advance of the recording, warning everyone that my tics are involuntary and are not a reflection of my personal beliefs.
I was heartened by the round of applause that followed this announcement and felt welcomed and understood in an environment that would normally be impossible for me. In addition to the announcement by Alan Cumming, the BBC and BAFTA, I can only add that I am, and always have been deeply mortified if anyone considers my involuntary tics to be intentional or to carry any meaning.
I was in attendance to celebrate the film of my life, I SWEAR, which more than any film or TV documentary, explains the origins, condition, traits and manifestations of Tourette Syndrome. I have spent my life trying to support and empower the Tourette’s community and to teach empathy, kindness and understanding from others and I will continue to do so. I chose to leave the auditorium early into the ceremony as I was aware of the distress my tics were causing.”
Boshfather with Johnny Davidson months ago showing more understanding and compassion about Tourette’s than all these race grifter losers in media and Hollyweird. BBC apologising has done more damage and shamed people suffering. If you don't speak up you are bullying sufferers

@StephanieSidley@nancytsidley I think this is a old video because it looks like the same moves they performed at their wedding. From the photos they have the dip as well.

He means the country has lost its values.
Outrageous disrespect.
