HGTV is ditching Nicole Curtis and her show of 15 years, Rehab Addict, after a video emerged of her saying a racial slur while filming. In the clip, Curtis says “fart n-----” and then asks to cut her verbal gaffe from the broadcast. “What the f--- is that I just said? Nick, you gotta, you gotta, can you kill that? F--- my life,” Curtis says. Fans of the show blamed HGTV for allowing racism to continue on the show unabated. “@hgtv…. So let me get this straight. You filmed her saying this. Continued filming her show. Edited it out for her. And went on to air the show. Wow,” an individual commented on Curtis’ most recent Instagram post. HGTV quickly disavowed the embattled TV host and told The Independent that they had been “recently made aware” of the use of a racial slur. “We have removed the series from all HGTV platforms. We remain dedicated to fostering a culture of respect and inclusion across our content and our workplace,” continued the statement. Curtis apologized on Wednesday for her language to TMZ. “The word in question is wrong and not part of my vocabulary and never has been, and I apologize to everyone.”
