Kathy Hilton Mistakes Lizzo For Precious Actress

It's time for some PR training, Kathy.

Kathy Hilton caught heat after “mistaking” Lizzo for Precious actress Gabourey Sidibe.

On Thursday, Hilton appeared on Watch What Happens Live and host Andy Cohen asked Hilton to play the segment “Will! Kathy! Know Them?”

During the segment, she was shown a picture of Lizzo and asked if she named the celebrity by face, to which she said, “I feel like I do. Precious?”

When a clip of Hilton’s segment went viral, social media users did what they do best, drag the clueless woman.

On Thursday, she shared her excuse for the Sidibe confusion.

“The screen was so far away, and my vision is terrible,” she wrote in Instagram comments. “If you recall, I… couldn’t even make out who Justin Timberlake or Melissa Etheridge was.”

The 2009 film Precious follows an overweight teen mom seeking a better life for her child. Sibide was nominated for an Oscar for her role.
