In the statement, Davidson said he has always been "deeply mortified" that his involuntary tics could be considered "intentional or to carry any meaning."
"I was in attendance to celebrate the film of my life, I SWEAR, which more than any film or TV documentary, explains the origins, condition, traits and manifestations of Tourette Syndrome," Davidson stated.
