The backlash from the bigotry put on show by John Davidson at the BAFTAs is still reverberating and up until this level, we had not heard very a lot from the perpetrator himself.
That has modified.
According to PEOPLE, Davidson has finally launched a assertion that was not as a lot of an apology as a great many people, Black people particularly, would have needed…
I’ve been ready all week until the mud settles after the weekend at the BAFTAs in London,” he wrote. “I would love to thank each and every one of you who have shown love, assist and solidarity in direction of myself and the remaining of the Tourette’s Community.
“Your kind words and support have got me through a very difficult week,” Davidson continued.
Honestly, he might have just saved this. The factor that people issuing “apologies” appear to constantly fail at miserably is naming the precise hurt and naming the precise people harmed. Any assertion of contrition is nugatory and disingenuous if those two issues are usually not current. Of course John Davidson doesn’t have to apologize for having Tourette’s and people who have been recognized with the disease must be revered and protected. However, that doesn’t exonerate them from accountability.
Meanwhile, Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo have been feeling the love from on stage to another beginning at the NAACP awards where they introduced the award for best supporting actress in a movie alongside Sinners director Ryan Coogler. Lindo took a second to tackle the elephant in the room and to give thanks for the assist since the BAFTA incident.
“I’d just like to formally say, I respect, we respect all the assist and love we’ve got been shown in the aftermath of what occurred last weekend. It means a lot to us.”
Thanks but no thanks, John Davidson. Be nicely.
