Rehab Addict host Nicole Curtis is speaking out in a lengthy statement after HGTV canceled her show over an N-word controversy. RadarOnline published footage on Wednesday, February 11, of Curtis, 49, using a racial slur, prompting HGTV to immediately pull new episodes of Rehab Addict that were due to premiere the same day. According to the outlet, Curtis used the offensive word on the set of the home restoration show. In a Thursday, February 12, Instagram post, Curtis apologized for her use of the N-word in the clip but insisted that the footage was private and not related to the HGTV show.
