Baylen Dupree defended fellow Tourette’s activist John Davidson after he yelled a racial slur at Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo at the BAFTAs 2026.
The skit took aim at Mel Gibson, “Real Housewives of New York” alum Jill Zarin, J.K. Rowling, Armie Hammer, Bill Cosby, Louis C.K. and Kanye West. “This week at the BAFTA Awards, the crowd was shocked as several offensive words were shouted from the crowd,” the skit began.

No. But I’m very proud for you to know that it was because of Tourette’s. Unfortunately, I’m not alone.”“You might have seen the video I posted this week where I said Bad Bunny did the worst halftime show in history and why was it in Spanish? And where were all the white people?” Sherman as Zarin asked. “But what you didn’t know is I suffer from severe long-winded monologue-style Tourette’s, a condition that affects nine out of 10 people on Long Island.”“Tourette’s isn’t just blurting out an offensive word. It can be years-long obsession with something like trans life and a deep anger that someone who was born with a wand in their pants would want that one removed and replaced with a Horcrux,” she said.Michael B.
