Yikes! Kathy Hilton Confuses Lizzo For “Precious” Star Gabourey Sidibe
Somebody get Kathy Hilton a pair of glasses.
While appearing on Wednesday’s episode of “Watch What Happens Live With Any Cohen” Hilton cringingly confused Lizzo for “Precious” actress Gabourey Sidibe.

Hilton made the flub during a round of the game, “Will Kathy Know Them?” where Cohen shows the “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star a photo of a celebrity and she has to identify them by name.
When it came to Lizzo’s photo, Hilton squinted her eyes to think if she recognized her, saying, “I feel like I do.” After giving it some thought, Hilton blurted out, “Precious?”
Hilton was referring to 39-year-old Sidibe, who played the role of Precious in the 2009 Oscar-nominated film “Precious: Based on the Novel ‘Push’ by Sapphire.”
Of course Twitter users slammed Hilton for confusing the two curvy black women, with some even calling the moment “racist.”
Her “RHOBH” co-star Crystal Kung Minkoff, who was also a guest on the show, as well as Cohen and the bartenders, all burst into laughter over the mix-up.
