Not only is language like this hurtful and disappointing to our viewers, partners, and employees \u2013 it does not align with the values of HGTV,\u201d the network said in a statement shared with Deadline.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\t\u201cAccordingly, we have removed the series from all HGTV platforms. We remain dedicated to fostering a culture of respect and inclusion across our content and our workplace.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tRehab Addict originally premiered in 2010 on the DIY Network before moving to HGTV with Season 4 in 2014. The series centered on Curtis advocating for the preservation and restoration of existing architecture rather than demolition.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tNew episodes of the series were scheduled to begin airing on February 11, but the schedule has now been canceled.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tHGTV has scrubbed the page dedicated to Rehab Addict on their website, and searching for the show on streaming platforms like HBO Max and Discovery+ leads to an error message that reads, \u201cOops! Looks like this link isn\u2019t working.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto     \">\n\tA video from the set of Rehab Addict leaked to Radar, which <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=rOUl7kSrxFQ\">shared the clip online<\/a>. While working on a project, Curtis used the n-word before quickly realizing what she just said and swiftly asked to \u201ckill\u201d the moment, which evidently didn\u2019t happen.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"c-lazy-image__img lrv-u-background-color-grey-lightest lrv-u-width-100p lrv-u-display-block lrv-u-height-auto\" src=\"https:\/\/deadline.com\/wp-content\/themes\/pmc-deadline-2019\/assets\/public\/lazyload-fallback.jpg\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/02\/rehab-addict-hbomax-discovery-plus.jpg\" alt=\"\" data-lazy- data-lazy- height=\"859\" width=\"1024\" decoding=\"async\"\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"HGTV has canceled\u00a0Rehab Addict\u00a0after its star, Nicole Curtis, used a racial slur that was caught on camera while&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":463926,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[33],"tags":[216087,88,1010,113651,216088,604,216089],"class_list":{"0":"post-463925","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-entertainment","8":"tag-discovery-plus","9":"tag-entertainment","10":"tag-hbo-max","11":"tag-hgtv","12":"tag-nicole-curtis","13":"tag-reality-tv","14":"tag-rehab-addict"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/463925","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=463925"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/463925\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/463926"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=463925"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=463925"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=463925"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
