On Feb. 22 at the 2026 BAFTAs, Scottish campaigner John Davidson, who has Tourette’s syndrome, had unwillingly hurled a racial slur as Michael B. Jordon and Delroy Lindo presented an award on stage. The incident, caught on camera, caused controversy online, with Davidson stating he was "upset" and "distraught" over not having control over the involuntary tic.
"Tourette’s isn’t just blurting out an offensive word. It can be a years-long obsession with something like trans life and a deep anger that someone who was born with a wand in their pants would want that one removed and replaced with a Horcrux," said SNL member Ashley Padilla dressed as the Harry Potter author.

“Mocking a disability is never acceptable. It would not be tolerated for any other condition, and it should not be tolerated by people with Tourette’s," said CEO Emma McNally.
She goes on to say that any video that deliberately "misrepresents or sensationalise tics set us back years." Since the BAFTAs incident, she also adds that members of their community have been trolled, "harassed", and "targeted with threats and humiliation" for having a condition they didn't choose.
British comedian Al Murray has also commented in the "disgusting" sketch, with Piers Morgan having spoken out in Davidson's defense after actor Deon Cole mocked the advocate during the 2026 NAACP Awards.
