The flub occurred when Kathy and fellow guest Crystal Minkoff were playing a game called *“Will Kathy Know Them?”* During the game, Andy Cohen showed pictures of celebrities to Kathy and asked her to guess who they were. When Lizzo’s image appeared, Kathy paused for a moment before guessing, *“Precious?”* Kathy mistakenly thought Lizzo was actress Gabourey Sidibe, who starred in the 2009 movie Precious. Crystal attempted to downplay the mishap, saying, *“She is precious, though. Lizzo is precious.”* *The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills* friend added, *“That’s what I call her. Her nickname is ‘Precious’ to me.”* https://www.instagram.com/reel/ChGkCVyItQS/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link Some Bravo fans took major issue with Kathy's flub, calling it everything from* “messed up”* to  *“insulting”* and *“racist.”* *“The Kathy Hilton clip is messed up, and y’all know it is. Lizzo minds her own business, but all people do is make her a joke, and this time it wasn’t even intentional. This time she caught a stray, and I wish someone would’ve stepped up and said something,”* YouTube star Kalen Allen shared on Twitter. ![](https://allabouttrh.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/kathy-1.jpeg) Other fans felt Kathy's error was a simple mistake and defended her on the [Everything Housewives](https://www.instagram.com/p/ChHNkyfs4ew/) Instagram page. *“Not racist, just Kathy,”* one fan said. Several other fans noted that while Kathy’s comments were *“ignorant,”* they weren't *“racist.”* *“She's ditsy, not racist,”* another fan wrote. Check out what else fans had to say - the opinions are all over the place. ![](https://allabouttrh.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Screen-Shot-2022-08-11-at-11.02.04-PM.png) ![](https://allabouttrh.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Screen-Shot-2022-08-11-at-11.01.44-PM.png) ![](https://allabouttrh.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Screen-Shot-2022-08-11-at-10.53.45-PM.png) ![](https://allabouttrh.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Screen-Shot-2022-08-11-at-11.01.38-PM.png) ![](https://allabouttrh.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Screen-Shot-2022-08-11-at-10.54.54-PM.png) ![](https://allabouttrh.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Screen-Shot-2022-08-11-at-10.54.44-PM.png) ![](https://allabouttrh.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Screen-Shot-2022-08-11-at-10.54.31-PM.png) ![](https://allabouttrh.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/08/Screen-Shot-2022-08-11-at-10.53.55-PM.png) Meanwhile, on Thursday, Kathy explained the error and blamed it on her poor eyesight. *“The screen was so far away, and my vision is terrible. If you recall, I couldn’t even make out who Justin Timberlake or Melissa Etheridge was,”* Kathy commented on the [Queens of Bravo](https://www.instagram.com/queensofbravo/) Instagram page. https://www.instagram.com/p/ChIeIFlPTGk/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_link *The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills* airs on Wednesdays at 8 pm on Bravo. ## Thoughts on this all?
