Radar Reveals 8 Celebrities Banned From Awards Shows

The British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) Awards have suspended the award for outstanding contributions from Noel Clarke and his membership “until further notice” amid groping, intimidation and bullying accusations.

The Adulthood actor filed a lawsuit for defamation The Guardian for publishing the 2021 articles claiming he used his power in the industry to harass and prey on women. A judge dismissed his claim in August, explaining that the judgment found the contents to be “substantially true.”

Initially, the case also named BAFTA and several individuals as suspects, but he dropped them from the legal battle The Guardian, in September 2022.

“I did that because they were basically just responding to the article,” he explained of his decision. “The article is the source of everything. Everything that has happened in my life, in my career, in my world, everything stems from the article, so for me there was no point in going after everyone when that was actually the main source.”
