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.'
