At the 2026 NAACP Image Awards, actor Delroy Lindo was seen speaking publicly for the first time since his very controversial moment at the BAFTAs this year.
This is when a guest ended up shouting a terrifying racial slur while he and his Sinners co-star Michael B. Jordan were onstage presenting. Lindo shared his heartfelt gratitude to the audience for their incredible love and support that he and his colleagues ended up receiving after the event was over.

His remarks were met with a standing ovation from the entire crowd. The slur was shouted in a very involuntary manner by a guest who was said to be diagnosed with Tourette's syndrome, and this led to an online discussion across the board.
