Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Kathy Hilton has received a lot of backlash after she confused Lizzo for actress Gabourey Sidibe.
Hilton made the shocking mistake on the recent episode of Watch What Happens Live, while playing the game “Will Kathy Know Them?” with Andy Cohen.
In the now viral clip, Cohen show Hilton a photo of Lizzo and was asked if she knew who she was, when she replied “I feel like I do, ‘Precious?’” Hilton’s co-star Crystal Kung Minkoff tried to help fix the mistake by adding, “She is precious, though. Lizzo is precious.”
The attempted fix did not sit well with fans and they quickly called her out on social media. See some of their reaction below.
There’s nothing funny about Kathy Hilton calling Lizzo ‘Precious.’
Absolutely nothing.

When Precious came out, a lot of people used the character’s name as a derogatory label to fuel their fatphobia and to bully. So no, I don’t think that it’s funny that Lizzo, home minding her own business, had to watch herself be called Precious in front of millions on live tv.
