Nicole Curtis, star of "Rehab Addict," was caught on video saying a racial slur and begging the crew to delete the footage, which never aired, according to a report from Radar.
The incident sparked widespread criticism on social media, with users like Tiffany A. Allen, Keve Smith, and Tonya Roshell condemning Curtis' language and calling for her removal from HGTV, with one user stating "We want her off the air @hgtv @hgtvhome."
HGTV has been reached out for comment, but has yet to respond, as new episodes of "Rehab Addict" were scheduled to air on the same day the controversy emerged, with users like Alisha Shelton-Smith questioning the network's stance on the issue, saying "@hgtv y’all ok with the n word I guess".
