"HGTV was recently made aware of an offensive racial comment made during the filming of Rehab Addict.' Not only is language like this hurtful and disappointing to our viewers, partners, and employees it does not align with the values of HGTV. 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."
"There is more to this, but my family comes first and I need to be mom right now more than anything else, she wrote on her Instagram Stories. I will take the time to be as I've always been with you, transparent and honest. TMZ called me as I had just turned my phone on after being at school. I said this briefly, but there is more."
HGTV removed the long-running series Rehab Addict after a resurfaced clip showed Nicole Curtis using the n-word during filming. The offensive remark occurred while Curtis worked on a house and was captured on a Radar Online clip obtained by TMZ. HGTV said the language is hurtful, does not align with its values, and removed the series from all platforms. Curtis posted on Instagram that her family comes first, promised transparency, and shared a screenshot of an apologetic text to TMZ expressing gratitude for the 15-year journey and emphasizing focus on relationships and community.
