Andy Cohen was left in a pretty awkward situation when Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Kathy Hilton mistook Lizzo for Precious actress Gabourey Sidibe.
In a game of Will! Kathy! Know Them?! on Wednesday’s Watch What Happens Live, Andy was joined by Kathy and her co-star Crystal Kung Minkoff.
When the 63-year-old reality TV personality was shown a picture of Lizzo and asked to guess the name, she replied: ‘I feel like I do… Precious?’
It was quickly made clear to Kathy that the Grammy winner was not actually Gabourey, star of the 2009 film titled Precious.
While Andy was left cringing in his seat and looking like he wanted to be swallowed up by the floor as he tried to laugh it off, Crystal and Kathy did their best to salvage the situation.
Crystal said: ‘She is precious though, Lizzo is precious.’

‘That’s what I call her,’ Kathy added. ‘Her nickname is Precious to me.’
Kathy was also unable to correctly guess who Justin Timberlake and Dwayne Johnson were too.

The clip, which has since gone viral, sparked outrage from fans.
One person penned: ‘Kathy Hilton DID NOT just refer to Lizzo as “Precious.” Currently picking my jaw up off the floor.’

‘Kathy Hilton identifying Lizzo as Precious is really low,’ one wrote, while another added: ‘Kathy Hilton don’t get a pass for that comment. Don’t ever confuse @lizzo with Precious! Just don’t say nothing at all.’
