Overview
- In a March 10 interview on The Breakfast Club, Nicole Curtis said she meant to say “fart digger” or “fart knocker” and apologized, insisting the racial slur is not part of her vocabulary.
- Hosts Charlamagne tha God, DJ Envy, Jess Hilarious, and Loren LoRosa challenged her explanation and questioned her repeated references to living in Detroit.
- The appearance prompted renewed media coverage and heavy criticism on social platforms, though some commenters praised her for addressing the controversy directly.
- HGTV confirmed last month that it removed Rehab Addict from all platforms over the “offensive racial comment,” and Warner Bros. Discovery pulled past episodes from HBO Max and Discovery+.
- Curtis has claimed the leaked footage was stolen, manipulated, and tied to an attempted blackmail, a contention reported by outlets without independent verification.
