Kathy Hilton Speaks Out After Mistaking Lizzo for 'Precious' Star Gabourey Sidibe

Kathy Hilton is addressing her viral Watch What Happens Live moment.

Earlier this week on Wednesday night (August 10), the 63-year-old Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star appeared on the Bravo late-night show.

During the show, host Andy Cohen played a game of “Will! Kathy! Know Them!?” where he would show an image of a celebrity and Kathy had to identify who they are.

Things got very awkward when Kathy shared her guess when Andy showed an image of Lizzo.

“I feel like I do…Precious?” Kathy said, confusing the “About Damn Time” singer for Precious actress Gabourey Sidibe.

After the clip went viral, Kathy took to the comments on one post to explain her confusion.

“My vision is awful, the screen was so far away that I couldn’t even recognize Justin Timberlake or Melissa Etheridge🥲🤦‍♀️,” Kathy wrote on Instagram, noting that Lizzo wasn’t the only star she failed to recognize.

Some social media users were quick to slam Kathy as “racist” for confusing Lizzo and Gabourey, while some fans did come to her defense to saying it was a “simple mistake.”

As of right now, Lizzo and Gabourey have not publicly addressed the situation.
