\n\tBrits love to swear and Erin Doherty<\/a>\u2019s expletive-filled winners speech at the Golden Globes<\/a> could land CBS in some hot water.<\/p>\n

\n\tAfter Doherty picked up the award for Best Performance By a Female Actor in a Supporting Role On Television for her role on Adolescence<\/a>, some of her sailor language sneaked onto the broadcast.<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI made a promise to my mum I wouldn\u2019t swear but what the fuck. Sorry, mum,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\n\tDoherty also swore when she won an Emmy for the same performance in September, although that one was bleeped. \u201cThank you to the Academy you\u2019re all f**king stunning,\u201d she said. <\/p>\n

\n\tTheoretically, the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) could fine the Paramount-owned network as it prohibits indecent or profane content between 6 a.m. and 10 p.m. Whether it will actually get into trouble depends on whether there are complaints. In the past decade, FCC fines have been rare.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\tThe Ellison family, which owns the company, might be close with President Trump but his administration has looked for ways to punish the entertainment business in recent months.<\/p>\n

\n\tDoherty beat The White Lotus\u2019 Carrie Coon, Parker Posey and Aimee Lou Wood, Hacks\u2019 Hannah Einbinder and The Studio\u2019s Catherine O\u2019Hara<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s two group of people that I\u2019d like to talk about: Stephen Graham, Hannah Walters, Jack Thorne, Phil Barantini and Owen Cooper,\u201d she added. \u201cThis experience for me was entirely molded from within the interview room of that set for episode three. Each of you lives in every breath of that scene and it wouldn\u2019t be what it is without you and you\u2019re at the core of why I\u2019m so deeply, unspeakably proud to be a part of this gorgeous piece of work. \u00a0<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cThe second group that I\u2019d like to dedicate this to are therapists. Life can be tough, mental health is everything, so thank you to therapists, it was an honor to play one,\u201d she added.<\/p>\n

\n\tDoherty starred as psychologist Briony Ariston in the Netflix<\/a> series, featuring in episode three alongside Owen Cooper\u2019s murderer Jamie.<\/p>\n

\n\tAfter the Emmy win, Doherty went on Jimmy Kimmel Live! to explain herself. \u201c\u201cYou\u2019re not supposed to swear but I kind of just got up there and I saw everyone and I just had to tell them that they were stunning,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe whole issue of award show expletives came to the Supreme Court twice, the last time in 2012, when the justices struck down fines on Fox Television Stations over expletives uttered by Cher and Nicole Richie during the Billboard Music Awards, as well as nudity that aired on ABC\u2019s NYPD Blue. But the justices did not weigh in on the constitutionality of the FCC policy against so-called \u201cfleeting expletives.\u201d Since then, there has been little appetite on the part of FCC chairs to take on indecency, although the current FCC chair, Brendan Carr, has been critical of the power of networks over their affiliates.<\/p>\n

\n\tAn FCC spokesperson did not immediately return a request for comment.<\/p>\n
