HGTV fires Nicole Curtis after Radar shared her with ‘N Word’ in video
HGTV subsequently took disciplinary action RadarOnline.com unveiled a video of Rehab addict star Nicole Curtis drops the ‘N-word’.
After contacting the network, representatives got back to them Radar and exclusively confirmed that the host has been fired.
HGTV said in an official statement Radar they were “recently made aware of an offensive racial comment during the filming of Rehab addict.“
“We understand that this type of language is hurtful and disappointing to our viewers, partners and employees, and does not align with HGTV’s values,” they explained in the statement.
Due to the racist epithet dropped in the clip, HGTV said they have accordingly “removed the series from all HGTV platforms.”
“We remain committed to promoting a culture of respect and inclusivity in our content and in our workplace,” they concluded.
In the video Radar exclusively obtained, Curtis, 49, was having trouble carrying out renovation work when she shockingly exclaimed: “Why? It’s the last one. Oh, fart n*****.”
The reality starlet was then heard begging her show’s crew to delete the recording as she realized the impact what she had said could have on her.
“What the fuck is that I just said?” she asked, as some of the crew laughed off camera. “Nick, you gotta, you gotta, can you kill that? F*** my life.”
After the video was shared, Curtis, whose show was set to return to HGTV after a hiatus today, returned to social media and seemingly shrugged off the ordeal.
She shared a photo of herself promoting her show which takes place today at 12pm and claimed that she will “continue until my last breath and be proud that I have done this more real and raw than anyone else.”
“There’s never been 100 people, let alone 25 people, not even 10 people labeled production when I’m working,” she noted. “It’s me, it’s my construction guys. On big days (meaning there’s a huge construction like a roof going on) it’s two cameras, but most are one. It’s never about how I look (I’ll take care of that in post), it’s always about the house.”
Curtis added that they had “squatters, drugs, human waste, the nastiest thing you can imagine, and we ended up with the beautiful Doris house,” which she said “proves again – flippers flippers.”
“Nicole Curtis (that’s me) and team are restoring history.”
Prior to HGTV’s statement, the network quietly deleted an Instagram post they made about her show’s return.
Although the post was online earlier today, it suddenly couldn’t be found and appears to have been deleted.
When I clicked on the original link, I was redirected to a message informing Instagram users that it was “unavailable.”
“The link may have been broken or the profile may have been deleted,” it added.
The message was also embedded in a media outlet’s coverage of the show’s return, and where the message once stood is now the following message from Instagram: “The link to this photo or video may be broken, or the message may have been removed.”
