from The Afternoon Tune · host The Afternoon Tune
BAFTAS N-WORD CONTROVERSRY. Michael B. Jordan & Delroy Lindo React to Tourette's Incident at the BAFTAs 2026At this year's BAFTA Awards, a deeply uncomfortable moment unfolded when a man in attendance — later identified as John Davidson, who has Tourette syndrome — involuntarily shouted a racial slur directed at Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo. In today's video, we're discussing what happened, the responses from those involved, and the broader conversation this incident has sparked around race, disability, and public spaces.This is a nuanced topic and we're approaching it with care — because two things can be true at once: the pain caused to Jordan and Lindo is real and valid, and Tourette syndrome is a complex neurological condition that deserves understanding, not vilification.💬 We'd love to hear your thoughtful takes in the comments below.👍 Like and subscribe for more coverage on entertainment news and the conversations that matter.The Afternoon Tune’s Links: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/TheAfternoonTune_/featured Twitch: https://www.twitch.tv/afternoontune FB: https://www.facebook.com/TheAfternoonTune/ Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-afternoon-tune/id1532847556 Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/7odRgqkr65eD1XYYTKiEOe?si=0M_t1hARSsiPe1pLn_MKqw&nd=1 TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@theafternoontune IG: https://www.instagram.com/theafternoontune/ Threads: https://www.threadvs.net/@theafternoontuneBlue Sky: https://bsky.app/profile/theafternoontune.bsky.social Nick’s LinksIG: https://instagram.com/nightndaynick?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=Twitter:https://mobile.twitter.com/NightNDayNickTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@nightndaynickTwitch.Tv/NightNDayNickNeal’s Links:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/daftneal/ Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/daftneal.bsky.social Threads: https://www.threads.com/@daftneal Letterboxd: https://letterboxd.com/DaftNeal/#bafta #michaelbjordan
