HGTV's Rehab Addict has been canceled after its star, Nicole Curtis, was caught using a racial slur while filming the series
A video of Curtis using the n-word while filming the show was posted by Radar on Wednesday, Feb. 11, the same day it was set to return
"Not only is language like this hurtful and disappointing to our viewers, partners, and employees - it does not align with the values of HGTV," the network said in a statement to PEOPLE

Some whites, particularly liberals, reel in shock at the very utterance of anything that even sounds like it.
LOL, not this guy....

Here it is:
Blacks are racist to the bone. Being Black opposed to being black is political racism
I preferred watching “Hometime” with Dean Johnson and Joanne Liebler on PBS back in the day, lol.
It likely was a retaliation termination.
IN which case your boiler plate recitation of the law may not apply
Ali: "Who are you?"
Arnold: "Arnold Schwarzenegger"
Ali: "Whatchoo call me?"
Racial slur bad. Cry baby get feelings hurt. Need another race card.
Speaking of Ali, he regularly called Joe Frazier a “Gorilla”.
A retaliation termination occurs when an employee is fired for doing a protected activity. Like trying to form a union, for example.
I have great sympathy for this woman. An entire career shouldn’t crash because of one misstatement. And there’d be no problem if she where a person of color.
But using inappropriate language is not a protected activity.
I have watched her over the years. Her show is good but she is emotionally unstable.
Likely they were looking for a reason to dump her.
> Likely they were looking for a reason to dump her. <
Either that or HGTV just wanted to do a little virtue-signaling.
“See how quickly we fired that racist!”
(But of course one word does not define a person.)
You have the correct answer!
Coming up on the next episode of “Racism Rehab”...
She probably heard the stupid term in a rap song. Sorry lady, your life is now over and you must apologize at the alter of political correctness for the rest of your now miserable life.
*I don’t use that word but don’t really get upset at the concept since blax use that word like it has no meaning. If the word is so hurtful they wouldn’t be saying it. And since they’re saying it in normal conversation it’s clearly not hurtful. No sympathy. Period.
100% agree. If it’s so hurtful, why do they call each other that word?
She’d lose. A private company can fire you for almost anything.
Do they use it on tv though? Music yes. Home decorator not so much.
My policy is no eye contact and no verbal exchange...period.
If she said “white honkey” she would probably get five different TV awards.
