Overview
- HGTV canceled Rehab Addict on Feb. 11 and removed the series from its platforms, citing that the language in the clip violated the network’s values.
- Warner Bros. Discovery also scrubbed episodes from HBO Max and Discovery+, and the planned Season 9 return was taken off the schedule.
- A RadarOnline-published clip shows Nicole Curtis using the N-word during filming; she later expressed remorse and apologized publicly via Instagram and TMZ.
- Curtis claims she owned the footage, was not under contract at the time, and that a “someone personal” — not her crew — demanded money before the leak, a claim not independently verified.
- Amid fallout, she highlighted the show’s stated community impact, including roughly $20 million directed to distressed neighborhoods, and said she will continue renovation work outside a network.
