HGTV has canceled the home renovation “Rehab Addict” show after its host, Nicole Curtis, was caught on camera using a racial slur during filming, multiple news outlets report.
The home improvement/real estate network said it would remove the show from all of its platforms, including HBO Max and Discovery+.
Radar Online on Wednesday posted a video of Ms. Curtis using the N-word during filming. The series was set to return to the airwaves on Wednesday.
Ms. Curtis was filmed saying the word and immediately realizing her error and asking the crew to “kill” the moment.
Ms. Curtis apologized and told TMZ: “I want to be clear: the word in question is wrong and not part of my vocabulary and never has been, and I apologize to everyone.”
HGTV is owned by Warner Bros. Discovery.
