💨 Abstract

Alan Cumming apologized for the "trauma-triggering" incident at the BAFTAs, where Tourette's campaigner John Davidson's tics, including a racial slur, disrupted the ceremony. Cumming initially explained Davidson's lack of control over his actions but later expressed regret for the pain caused to Black people and the Tourette's community. He criticized the BBC and BAFTA for their handling of the broadcast and censorship, acknowledging the overshadowing of artists' work.
