The other guest and Hilton's RHOBH co-star Crystal Kung Minkoff eased the tension by chiming in, "She is precious, though. Lizzo is precious.” Hilton may have spared herself from Twitter backlash but she tried to play off the mix-up by claiming, "That’s what I call her! Her nickname is ‘Precious,’ to me.”

People on social media slammed her for the subtle racism behind the mistake. “Well, there it is. Kathy pretty much confirmed how she sees the world. She sees people who don’t like her all the same. She can’t distinguish one person from another. And that’s a problem. It explains a lot. And none of it good,” one Twitter user wrote via Page Six. While that comment is a bit bombastic, it is important to mention that mixups like that don't happen to white, skinny women in the entertainment industry.
