HGTV star fired and show yanked off all platforms after host caught making racist slur
HGTV has fired the host of a long-running show and pulled it off all platforms after she was caught making a racist slur.
Nicole Curtis, the star of "Rehab Addict," was under fire after she was caught saying a racial slur in a video — and then begging the crew to delete it. The shocking video never aired, and Curtis appeared to acknowledge she should not have said the racial epithet, according to a report from Radar.
"What the f--- is that I just said?" Curtis said, laughing as the HGTV crew off-camera also laughed. "Nick, you gotta, you gotta, can you kill that? F--- my life."
The network had planned to air new episodes of the reality home improvement show on Wednesday night but had changed course after the video was revealed.
HGTV shared the following statement with Raw Story.
"HGTV was recently made aware of an offensive racial comment made during the filming of Rehab Addict. We understand that language like this is hurtful and disappointing to our viewers, partners, and employees, and it does not align with the values of HGTV," according to the statement.
"Accordingly, 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."

Institutional clients will also have access to an over-the-counter (OTC) trading desk and multiple liquidity venues.The extension builds on BitGo’s previous Markets-in-Crypto-Assets (MiCA) license, also issued by BaFIN, and adds trading to the existing custody, transfer and staking services. BitGo acquired its initial MiCA license in May 2025, which allowed it to offer certain services to traditional institutions and crypto native companies in the European Union.Read more
