In a letter to members sent Tuesday, BAFTA Chair Sara Putt and CEO Jane Millichip discussed the incident, in which Tourette’s syndrome activist John Davidson involuntarily shouted the N-word while Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo were presenting on stage. In the letter, they said they wanted to “acknowledge the harm this has caused, address what happened and apologise to all.” They also said that a “comprehensive review” was now underway.
The letters comes a day after BAFTA issued out a public statement in response to mounting anger over the situation, asserting that it took “full responsibility” for putting its “guests in a very difficult situation and we apologise to all.”
The new review comes just six years after BAFTA underwent a major internal review aimed at addressing the lack of diversity in the film awards.
