💨 Abstract
A Bafta judge, Jonte Richardson, resigned after the organization faced backlash for not handling a Tourette’s campaigner's racial slur outbursts during the Bafta Film Awards. John Davidson, who has Tourette’s, shouted offensive language, including the N-word, during the ceremony. The BBC removed the broadcast from iPlayer after criticism for not editing out the incident.
