Baftas Slur Row Highlights Ongoing Misunderstanding of Tourette's
Sharon, mother of Dexter who has Tourette's and stars in I Swear, says the Baftas row in which a guest shouted a racial slur has renewed negativity about Tourette's, overshadowing the film’s three Bafta wins. The BBC apologized for not editing out the slur, and Dexter’s family stresses Tourette's is a disability people cannot help. The incident has sparked concern among campaigners about public understanding of the condition despite the film's positive reception.
