HGTV Star’s EXPLOSIVE N-Word Scandal: Ex Says “She’s a BAD Person” But NOT Racist?!
How shocking is it when a celebrity's own ex-partner throws shade while simultaneously defending them against a major scandal? HGTV's Nicole Curtis is currently embroiled in a jaw-dropping controversy after a video surfaced showing her using the N-word on her hit show, "Rehab Addict." The fallout was immediate, with the network shelving her show and Curtis quickly issuing an apology to TMZ, insisting the slur doesn't define her. But then, her former flame and colleague, Ryan Sawtelle, dropped an absolute bombshell! Sawtelle, who worked on "Rehab Addict" and dated Curtis for a decade, shockingly stated she's a "bad person" who treats her crew "like garbage," even referencing past lawsuits from unpaid contractors. However, in a surprising twist, he fiercely defended her against accusations of racism, claiming she "is unequivocally not a racist" and that her use of the slur was an "unfortunate" mistake, often using gibberish to avoid cussing. Ryan, who was actually in the 2022 clip, hinted that the video's leak was designed to damage her reputation. Meanwhile, Nicole clapped back, telling TMZ that the footage is a "manipulated, edited version" shot for her personal use, not for HGTV.
