The controversy surrounding the 2026 Baftas has escalated significantly following the resignation of a BAFTA judge, who protested the organization's inadequate response to the incident involving John Davidson, a Tourette's syndrome activist. Davidson has reached out to apologize directly to actors Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo, acknowledging the emotional toll the incident has taken on all parties. This has further ignited public discourse, with influential figures like Reese Waters and Jeremy Vine voicing their criticisms on Twitter. One user remarked, 'The silence from the BBC is deafening; accountability is essential for healing,' highlighting the frustration with the BBC's lack of response as their 'fast-tracked' investigation continues.
