Oh, can you just imagine the incredible privilege of growing up in one of the poorest parts of Britain and having a disability so extreme that documentaries are made about your lifetime of being bullied, abused, beaten, even having your life threatened! What a lucky guy!
the BAFTAS clearly messing up here and leaving this poor guy to do damage control for their error and leaving him open to abuse about his condition is fucking horrible
I was right when I said BAFTA and BBC set up John, Delroy and Michael to be embarrassed and hurt, because putting a mic directly in front of John 40 ROWS BACK from the stage was a deliberate choice to record his Corprolalia vocal tics.
They broke and violated his trust.
Actually NO, he was 40 rows away from the stage and left mortified because of his tics. He was also told that they warned the presenters about his tics (they lied)
There was ALWAYS a fallout. The minute he said those tics, there was already a fall out. AND BTW, you have NO idea when he sent these apologies and respectfully. You aren’t entitled to know.
A mic was placed directly in front of a man with Corprolalia who has verbal tics with slurs, and deliberately aired after a 2 HOUR delay.
Your Black hosts and attendees were not adequately informed.
You censored a Black man saying "Free Palestine."
BAFTA is racist and ableist.
Coprolalia is something that can’t be helped and border education is definitely needed on it AND MBJ and Delroy Lindo deserve an apology because that is hard to get past especially televised in a room full of peers
BAFTA needs to issue a proper apology to Delroy, Michael, John, and viewers for how abysmally they handled this.
Producers had 2 hours to edit that moment and chose not to knowing how it would be received, making it an intentional choice to cause hurt and embarrassment.
