HGTV CANCELS 'Rehab Addict' After Nicole Curtis Used Racist Word On Set

HGTV pulled the new season of 'Rehab Addict' from air just hours before its premiere amid a racism controversy with star Nicole Curtis. 'Radar Online' published unused footage from the long-running show, in which hte 49-year-old Detroit-based renovator used the N-word. After stripping the show off its streamers, too, HGTV tells ET, 'Not only is language like this hurtful and disappointing to our viewers, partners, and employees - it does not align with the values of HGTV.' Nicole has since apologized on Instagram, telling her followers, 'I want to be clear: the word in question is wrong and not part of my vocabulary and never has been.'
