Jonte Richardson, a Black writer and producer, has resigned from BAFTA's emerging talent judging panel, describing the organisation's response to a racial slur shouted during Sunday's Film Awards ceremony as 'utterly unforgivable,' according to Variety.
Richardson posted a statement on Facebook on Monday evening, saying he would not contribute his 'time, energy and expertise to an organisation that has repeatedly failed to safeguard the dignity of its Black guests, members and the Black creative community.'
