Host

Nicole Curtis (b. August 20, 1976 [3] ) advocates for the preservation and restoration of existing architecture over demolition when feasible. She has rehabbed homes in Saint Paul, Minnesota; Minneapolis, Minnesota; Lake Orion, Michigan; Detroit, Michigan; and Akron, Ohio. Her work centers on pre-World War II homes, and her renovation philosophy is to "restore old homes to their former glory" rather than modernization. [4]

Curtis grew up in Lake Orion, Michigan and graduated from Lake Orion High School in 1994. [5] [6] [7] Her family owned a garbage business. [7] She attended college in Georgia, Florida, and Michigan and had her son, Ethan, before she graduated. As of September 2014 she lives in a renovated 1904 home in Detroit. [4] Curtis originally intended to study law in college but later switched to education. [8]

Curtis announced in July 2015 that she was expecting her second child [9] and later that year gave birth to a son, Harper. [10]

Cancellation

On February 11, 2026, HGTV announced that Curtis had been fired from the network, and that the new episodes of Rehab Addict that were due to begin airing that day had been pulled. Curtis' firing came after a video was released showing her exclaiming "fart nigger" while filming a scene for an episode that aired in 2025. That same day, Nicole went on to issue an apology, [11] stating that "the word in question is wrong and not part of my vocabulary and never has been." The show was canceled by HGTV and removed from the HBO Max and Discovery+ streaming services. [12]
