All about Kathy Hilton’s gaffe on Watch What Happens Live

On Wednesday’s episode of Andy Cohen's Watch What Happens Live, Bravo stars Kathy Hilton and Crystal Kung Minkoff appeared on the late-night show to talk about the latest episode of RHOBH.

On the show, Andy and Kathy played a game, “Will! Kathy! Know Them!?” In the game, Andy would show a celebrity image to Hilton on screen, which she had to correctly identify.

Unfortunately, she made a mistake. When Andy showed her a picture of 34-year-old Grammy winner Lizzo and asked if she could identify the celebrity shown on screen. She said:

“I feel like I do…Precious?”

Her response left everyone in splits. Andy, Crystal, and the bartenders laughed uncontrollably and proceeded to hide their faces. They could not get over the fact that Kathy identified Lizzo as Precious. Surprised, Andy then said:

“No, it’s not Precious.”

All assumed that she might be referring to the 2009 Oscar-winning film, Precious, starring Gabourey Sidibe, which earned her a Golden Globe and Academy Award nomination, but that was not the case.

To save her friend from the embarrassing situation, Crystal jumped in to fix the mistake by telling Kathy the celebrity's correct name, Lizzo, who then quickly took control of the situation by saying:

“That’s what I call her. Her nickname is ‘Precious’ to me.”

Other than Lizzo, she could not identify other celebrities like Justin Timberlake and Dwayne Johnson.

Who is Lizzo who Kathy thought as Precious

The Detroit, Michigan-born singer, rapper, and flutist Lizzo is best known for songs like Juice, Boys, and Good As Hell. The singer moved to Houston and later to Minneapolis, where she began her recording career in hip hop music.

The singer has even collaborated with Prince on his 2014 album, Plectrumelectrum for the song, BoyTrouble.

Lizzo’s Truth Hurts, which was first released in 2017, became her first number 1 single on the Billboard Hot 100 in September 2019. In 2020, she won three Grammy Awards - Best Urban Contemporary Album for Cuz I Love You, Best Pop Solo Performance for Truth Hurts, and Best Traditional R&B Performance for Jerome.

Speaking about her sexuality to Teen Vogue, she once said:

“When it comes to sexuality or gender, I personally don’t ascribe to just one thing. I cannot sit here right now and tell you I’m just one thing. That’s why the colors for LGBTQ+ are a rainbow! Because there’s a spectrum, and right now we try to keep it black and white. That’s just not working for me."

The vegan, who launched her shapewear brand, Yitty, in collaboration with Fabletics in April 2022, has ardent followers across the world.
