Nicole Curtis claims a slip of the tongue was the culprit after she uttered a racial slur during filming of her HGTV show Rehab Addict, which was canceled in the aftermath of the scandal.
Curtis, 49, appeared Tuesday on The Breakfast Club radio show, less than two months after HGTV canceled her series Rehab Addict after she was caught on camera using the 'N-word' during filming.
Curtis, a native of Lake Orion, , was subsequently heard using the racial epithet in a clip published by Radar, saying, 'Oh, fart n*****.'
In her appearance on the talk show on Tuesday, Curtis told the show's Charlamagne tha God, DJ Envy, and Jess Hilarious that she uses similar terms - 'fart digger' and 'fart knocker' – which led to the on-camera slip.
When asked about her preoccupation with flatulence, Curtis explained that it's a trait she picked up from her sons.
Curtis said, 'Do you have boys? Boys talk about farts - all the time. OK, again, I can’t swear on my show - OK so yes, I’ve made up these crazy words.'

DJ Envy said he was skeptical of her defense because the phrase involving the N-word 'came out so naturally.'
Curtist, a preservation expert, said that the random blurts come with the territory of producing a reality TV show

Charlamagne added, 'What are you trying to prove here when you keep saying you're from Detroit ... I'm trying to figure out what you are trying to say.'
