N-Word

After losing her job at HGTV for saying the N-word on camera, Nicole Curtis went on "The Breakfast Club" Tuesday only to receive even more backlash.

ICYMI ... a behind-the-scenes clip of the former "Rehab Addict" host blurting out "fart n****r" in a moment of frustration went viral and led to her firing.

In her 'Breakfast Club' discussion over the incident, Nicole tried to explain the gaffe by saying that she often uses terms like "fart digger" and "fart knocker," seeming to imply that she just accidentally combined the two.

Quentin Tarantino is making it crystal clear how he really feels about Rosanna Arquette criticizing his filmmaking ... and, turns out, he's got a few criticisms for her, too.

Tarantino slammed Rosanna for a "lack of class, no less honor” after she recently called him out for using the N-word in his films.

QT fired back Monday in a statement to Deadline, writing ... "I hope the publicity you’re getting from 132 different media outlets writing your name and printing your picture was worth disrespecting me and a film I remember quite clearly you were thrilled to be a part of?”

ICYMI ... the actress -- who had a minor role in Tarantino's "Pulp Fiction" -- slammed the director while chatting with The Sunday Times, calling him "racist and creepy."

Rosanna tore into the filmmaker -- and the industry -- for letting him get away with using the slur, saying ... "I cannot stand that he has been given a hall pass."

This isn't the first time Tarantino has defended using the N-word in his movies.

Back in 2022 he went on “Who’s Talking to Chris Wallace” and told critics to not even bother watching his films, saying ... "If you have a problem with my movies then they aren’t the movies to go see."

In recent years, QT has been taking heat from a bunch of stars.

Remember ... "The Office" alum Zach Woods ripped into him after the director absolutely trashed actors Paul Dano, Owen Wilson, and Matthew Lillard.

And in 2024, George Clooney was also beefing with Tarantino ... telling him to "f*** off" when the filmmaker called him washed up.

Delroy Lindo is addressing the racial slur that was heard during the BAFTA Film Awards last weekend while he and Michael B. Jordan were presenting onstage.

As we reported ... a man identified as Tourette's syndrome advocate John Davidson shouted a racial slur from the audience last Sunday while Lindo and Jordan were at the podium. The remark was picked up on the live broadcast and immediately sparked outrage.

Davidson later said the outburst was the result of his Tourette's syndrome.

A Black high school basketball player is being met with an "outpouring of encouragement and support" after a fan hurled the N-word at him during a recent game ... and TMZ Sports has learned he's even back on the court, despite the ugly incident.

The disgusting moment happened in the second quarter of last week's Flint Metro League boys basketball semifinal game, when a Goodrich High School fan yelled a racist slur at a Flint Kearsley High player.

The incident, which was captured on a live stream of the game, predictably sparked outrage ... but also a whole bunch of love and support for the player, especially from his teammates, classmates, and the community.

Shocking and disturbing moment at a high school basketball game ... a student yelled the N-word at a Black player as he was shooting free throws, and it was all captured on video.

The racist moment happened last Tuesday during the Flint Metro League boys basketball semifinals matchup between Goodrich High School and Flint Kearsley High.

In the second quarter, a Kearsley player was preparing to set up to the charity stripe ... and that's when a fan from the Goodrich student section abruptly shouted the N-word.

The crowd immediately reacted, making it clear they were disgusted by the slur.

John Davidson's Tourette's tic -- which resulted in the disability activist screaming out a racial slur during an awards broadcast -- isn't necessarily about his true feelings coming out ... so says a reality star with firsthand knowledge of the disorder.

Baylen Dupree -- star of the hit show "Baylen Out Loud" -- released a statement Tuesday about Sunday's incident ... saying she felt she needed to say something as a person who deals with tics as well.

Baylen writes these verbal tics are not thoughts, opinions, or beliefs hidden deep beneath the surface -- they are involuntary impulses -- no different than a hiccup or a sneeze.

The BBC is under fire for failing to edit out the N-word from its broadcast of the BAFTAs ... though the organization has reportedly told employees it did catch another slur.

Here's the deal ... Kate Phillips -- the Chief Content Officer for the British Broadcasting Company -- sent an email to staff members apologizing that the racial slur involuntarily thrown at Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo by Tourette's activist John Davidson wasn't edited out of the broadcast.

However, Phillips also seemingly praised editors in the staff email because they "removed another racial slur from the broadcast.”

There's continued fallout from the British Academy Film Awards (BAFTA) N-word controversy ... a Black jury member just quit over the org's "utterly unforgivable" handling of the situation.

As we reported ... John Davidson was heard shouting the N-word during Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo's presentation Sunday night. Host Alan Cumming did his best to address the incident, but many people were still upset about what happened -- and demanded answers.

Jonte Richardson resigned Tuesday from BAFTA’s emerging talent judging panel ... making it clear the handling of the incident -- and initial lack thereof -- was unacceptable.

The Tourette's activist who created a firestorm when he shouted the N-word during the The British Academy Film Awards (BAFTA) has broken his silence.

As we reported ... John Davidson was heard shouting the N-word during Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo's presentation last night. Host Alan Cumming did his best to address the incident, but plenty were still heated about what happened -- and wanted answers.

John just released a statement, saying he appreciated Alan's mid-show announcement ... and, "I was heartened by the round of applause that followed this announcement and felt welcomed and understood in an environment that would normally be impossible for me.”

The British Academy Film Awards (BAFTA) just issued another apology ... amid the mounting headlines of how they fumbled the handling of a racial slur shouted during the major award show.

As we reported ... Tourette Syndrome activist John Davidson was heard shouting the N-word during Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo's presentation last night. Host Alan Cumming did his best to address the incident, but plenty were still heated about what happened and how it was addressed.

Clearly, the Academy felt the heat ... because the organization just dropped a full-throated apology, saying in part ... "We take full responsibility for putting our guests in a very difficult situation and we apologize to all. We will learn from this, and keep inclusion at the core of all we do, maintaining our belief in film and storytelling as a critical conduit for compassion and empathy."

Delroy Lindo is finally addressing that shocking moment at the BAFTAs -- and he’s making it clear he wasn’t thrilled with how it was handled.

The "Sinners" star says he wished someone from BAFTA personally checked in with him or Michael B. Jordan after Tourette Syndrome activist John Davidson yelled the N-word while they were onstage presenting at the BAFTAs Sunday evening.

Speaking to Vanity Fair at the Warner Bros. afterparty, Delroy said both he and Michael did what they had to do -- and that was keep it moving and calmly finish presenting their award.

BAFTA Awards host Alan Cumming cited John Davidson's Tourette Syndrome as the reason he shouted the N-word while Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo presented onstage ... but Jamie Foxx isn't buying it.

Under an Instagram post discussing the controversial moment, Foxx wrote, "Nah he meant that s**t."

He followed up, writing, "Out of all the words you could've said Tourette's makes you say that?"

Davidson, who was diagnosed with Tourette's at 25, is the inspiration for the BAFTA-winning biopic "I Swear."

Nicole Curtis is showing her face in public again after getting fired from HGTV for using the N-word ... and we've got the first look at her comeback.

Check out these photos of Nicole grabbing some Starbucks and ice cream with her son in SoCal ... it's the first time she's surfaced since footage leaked showing her using a racial slur during filming on her HGTV show, "Rehab Addict."

While she's back out and about, Nicole looks like she's trying to keep a low profile ... she's got her Detroit Yacht Club hat pulled down in some of these shots.

Some parents at a SoCal school where Nicole Curtis volunteers as a room parent to her son's class have serious concerns on the heels of her N-word controversy... and at least one has gone to leadership demanding answers, TMZ has learned.

Here's the deal ... the HGTV star has been in hot water since a 2022 video leaked of her using the N-word while filming her popular show, "Rehab Addicts." She's was fired -- and has issued an apology.

But TMZ has heard from multiple concerned parents at her kid's school ... who tell us they're super uncomfortable with her working in the classroom as a volunteer -- and they think the school should at the very least address the situation with parents.

Huda Mustafa is showing love to her ride-or-dies who stood by her when things got messy ... thanking fans for sticking with her through last year's racial slur controversy.

TMZ caught up with the "Love Island" star Thursday at the Runway 7 fashion show at Sony Hall in NYC, where she made it clear she hasn’t forgotten the support she received after the backlash involving her and boyfriend Louis Russell’s livestream.

You'll remember, Huda apologized at the time after laughing when a caller used the N-word -- explaining she was caught off guard. And it's clear the whole ordeal turned into a major learning moment for her, telling us she's grateful fans rode with her through the highs and lows.
