Lebronwon 08/12/22 8:27:11 AM #1:	https://www.chron.com/culture/article/Kathy-Hilton-Lizzo-Precious-17366862.php Kathy Hilton from "The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills" is being called fatphobic and racist online for mistaking singer Lizzo for the titular character from the 2009 film "Precious." During her appearance on Andy Cohen's "Watch What Happens Live" Wednesday, Hilton was tasked with guessing who a celebrity displayed on the screen was in a game called "Will Kathy Know Them?" Hilton, 63, guessed incorrectly numerous times, failing to accurately identify Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson or Justin Timberlake. However, awkwardness ensued when Cohen pulled up a photo of Grammy winner Lizzo. "I feel like I do...Precious?" Hilton guessed. The answer prompted Cohen and Hilton's "Housewives" co-star Crystal Kung Minkoff, who was also a guest on Wednesday's show, to burst into laughter. Hilton likely mistook Lizzo, 34, for the titular character portrayed by Gabourey Sidibe in the 2009 Oscar-winning drama "Precious." However, it's also possible she could have also mistaken the singer for 32-year-old model Precious Lee. Minkoff, 39, attempted to remedy the blunder, turning to Hilton to say, "She is precious, though. Lizzo is precious." "That's what I call her," Hilton added. "Her nickname is Precious, to me." Lizzo fans swiftly reacted on Twitter, criticizing Hilton for comparing Lizzo to another plus-size Black public figure. Among them was E! host Nina Parker, who wrote on Twitter: "Black women are not here to be the butt of your jokes." Internet personality Kalen Allen also chimed in, tweeting: "When 'Precious' came out, a lot of people used the character's name as a derogatory label to fuel their fatphobia and to bully. So no, I don't think that it's funny that Lizzo, home minding her own business, had to watch herself be called Precious in front of millions on live tv." Another tweeted: "Its the fatphobia and racism for me. Because she and Gabby look NOTHING alike, but also to call her Precious, like thats a real person and not a character. Lizzo need to cuss all these mf out." https://twitter.com/dnvrsn/status/1557555035176783872 --- Not 1, not 2, not 3, not 4, not 5, not 6, not 7 <cite>Lebronwon posted [p:967254095] in Real House...
