The reality star was playing the game \u201cWill! Kathy! Know Them?\u201d which involved Hilton\u2019s \u201cRHOBH\u201d co-star Crystal Kung Minkoff being asked if she thinks Hilton will recognize specific famous people. If Minkoff says yes, then Hilton is asked to identify them.<\/p>\n<p>Upon encountering a photo of Lizzo, Hilton responded, \u201cI feel like I do? Precious?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Everyone erupted into laughter as Cohen replied with an emphatic \u201cNo\u201d to her guess. Minkoff put her hand on her head in embarrassment then tried to deflect the situation by saying, \u201cShe is precious though, Lizzo is precious.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hilton also tried to recover. \u201cThat\u2019s what I call her! Her nickname\u2019s \u2018Precious\u2019 to me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Despite the silliness of the situation, social media fans didn\u2019t go so easy on Hilton and even accused her of being racist for mistaking Lizzo for a different plus-sized black woman.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, some people came to the reality star\u2019s defense, pointing out how she guesses incorrectly on that segment all the time. During the same game, Hilton also failed to recognize images of Dwayne Johnson and Justin Timberlake, Fox News <a href=\"https:\/\/www.foxnews.com\/entertainment\/humiliating-moment-kathy-hilton-mistakes-lizzo-precious-watch-what-happens-live-fans-disgusted\">reported<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">She does mistake people a lot, but saying Precious is something very insidious. It\u2019s not just linking Lizzo to a fat black person solely on her weight, but erasing Gabourey\u2019s identity. It\u2019s very weird. Kathy is really insufferable and says a lot of off white people stuff. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/Vu8iW3fK7v\">https:\/\/t.co\/Vu8iW3fK7v<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 \ud835\udc07\ud835\udc1e\ud835\udc27\ud835\udc2b\ud835\udc32 \ud835\udc0f\ud835\udc21\ud835\udc22\ud835\udc25\ud835\udc32\ud835\udc1a\ud835\udc30 (@justxhenry) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/justxhenry\/status\/1557769733398827008?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\">August 11, 2022<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u201cShe does mistake people a lot, but saying Precious is something very insidious,\u201d one person shared to <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/justxhenry\/status\/1557769733398827008\">Twitter<\/a>. \u201cIt\u2019s not just linking Lizzo to a fat black person solely on her weight, but erasing Gabourey\u2019s identity.

Lizzo minds her own business but all people do is make her a joke and this time it wasn\u2019t even intentional. This time she caught a stray and I wish someone would\u2019ve stepped up and said something,\u201d media personality Kalen Allen <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/TheKalenAllen\/status\/1557565474711523328\">shared<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen Precious came out, a lot of people used the character\u2019s name as a derogatory label to fuel their fatphobia and to bully. So no, I don\u2019t think that it\u2019s funny that Lizzo, home minding her own business, had to watch herself be called Precious in front of millions on live tv,\u201d he continued in a follow-up.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPrecious isn\u2019t even a real person and Lizzo looks nothing like her \u2026 I don\u2019t know what the f** is funny. I expect the heehaw from the 3 glue sticks but the two black men laughing is pissing me off. I\u2019m tired of the misogynoir [sic] &#038; anti-blackness on this f***ing network,\u201d another person replied.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is a pretty racist comment but because the fans like Kathy, they\u2019re laughing it off,\u201d another agreed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u201cReal Housewives of Beverly Hills\u201d star Kathy Hilton is facing serious backlash for not recognizing the difference between pop star Lizzo and actress Gabourey Sidibe, who\u2019s best known for starring in the movie \u201cPrecious.\u201d Hilton\u2019s gaffe happened during a recent episode of \u201cWatch What Happens Live\u201d with Andy Cohen.
