Lindo claims nobody from the BAFTAs approached him or Michael to apologize after the incident...
From Vanity Fair
At the Warner Bros. after-party following the ceremony, Lindo told Vanity Fair that he and Jordan “did what we had to do” while presenting—but that he also wished “someone from BAFTA spoke to us afterward.”
Though the BAFTAs aired on a tape delay, the slur was nevertheless included in the broadcast.
A BBC spokesperson told The Times, “Some viewers may have heard strong and offensive language during the BAFTA Film Awards. This arose from involuntary verbal tics associated with Tourette syndrome, and as explained during the ceremony it was not intentional. We apologize that this was not edited out prior to broadcast and it will now be removed.”

Brother PLEASE take that hoop earring OFF
Grown men should not be wearing hoop earrings, my guy
what the helly
Of course BAFTA had nothing to say to Delroy, but flip the script and let a brotha with Tourette's shout out “Hunky" or “Kracker" and we’d never be forgiven or forgotten. Never.
@8:59 Who named you designated director of the earring police? If Delroy wanted to wear something dangling to his shoulder that's his business. As for BAFTA, Britain is never direct or apologetic about racism.
Well did anybody from the Oscars say anything to Chris rock after the slap? This is awful and wrong but these award shows clearly don’t know what to do with anything off script
@9:18am-You tell NO LIES!!!
That part 9:18
LOLO
Lindo looked like he wanted to snap when he heard it so glad he and Michael held it together but why do we always have to be one to digress?
This is the type of TRAUMA that black folks endure whether you are rich and famous or poor…they knew to keep it classy and to keep it pushing. So proud of them and their grace in that moment as black men… so not surprised with the missing apologies to these black kings. Had they reacted and responded, this story would have been vilified…..business as usual and another day in the life…
@9:24PM/9:20AM - Well said.
