HGTV CANCELS ‘Rehab Addict’ After Nicole Curtis Used Racist Word On Set

HGTV pulled the brand new season of ‘Rehab Addict’ from air simply hours earlier than its premiere amid a racism controversy with star Nicole Curtis. ‘Radar Online’ printed unused footage from the long-running present, wherein hte 49-year-old Detroit-based renovator used the N-word. After stripping the exhibit its streamers, too, HGTV tells ET, ‘Not solely is language like this hurtful and disappointing to our viewers, companions, and staff – it doesn’t align with the values of HGTV.’ Nicole has since apologized on Instagram, telling her followers, ‘I wish to be clear: the phrase in query is flawed and never a part of my vocabulary and by no means has been.’
