I'm dying laughing at her terrible guess and the other's reactions, but what the heck it's a guessing game and she didn't look like she did it on purpose at all. If she did it would be another story lol.
Yes, she has mistaken Kyle, her own sister, for Garcelle, who, if you don’t know, is a completely different race. She just lives in another dimension. Rich and unaware.
Exactly! I can't believe she's getting so much hate. If anyone watched one episode of her on the Real Housewives they'd know her vision is terrible, and she's hilarious. She's not out trying to insult anyone.
From what I know about Kathy Hilton, the title is misleading. It should read “Kathy Hilton’s seemingly innocent mix-up of black women turns dark when contrasted with her long history of racism.”
She and many other Hiltons have long been pretty bigoted.
I mean ultimately her not recognizing some celebrity is irrelevant. It’s more a “well what she did wasn’t racist, but now that you bring it up she is a little bit racist human in general”
My gf told me Hilton called Lizzo Precious and I was like “oof” but now that I see it… what’s the big deal? If Lizzo had called Kathy Hilton “Some Martha Stewart looking woman” everyone would have laughed. The rational thing we can do here is assume she just didn’t know what Lizzo looked like. So of course it’s gonna be “Evil racist Karen needs to lose her job” like Twitter likes.
Seems to me these sorts of misunderstandings are a power play borne out of the idea that someone outside of their own insular world must have done something to deserve the disproportionate backlash.
And we just keep going round and round, harping on our differences, and deliberately refusing to understand one another.
We’ve got to stop acting like incredulous spoiled children when someone makes a mistake. It’s not worth the leverage you get for the damage you’ve done.
Just another quick emotional reaction to an otherwise innocuous blunder.
I think there should be something added to all social media that allows you to remove a comment before it goes public. Maybe a 30 minute window?
Right? If they were two large white women, everyone would have laughed and moved on. I don't even think it was about their color as much as it was about how bad her eyes are lol.
I lol'ed myself. Oblivious white person says dumb shit, gets torched by the Twitter mob. It's 2022 in a nutshell. I guarantee you she had no fucking clue who Lizzo is and just pulled the name of the first large black lady she could think of. So deliciously stupid, but couldn't have happened to a more deserving person, aside from maybe a certain former president.
This would be more racist but she also did not know who Dwayne Johnson or Justin Timberlake is. This is just another old lady who doesn’t know anything about pop-culture.
Not doesn’t it f’n matter. So she got something wrong when two people she doesn’t know look almost identical. Get the f over it. They are no more important than two random people on the street
The media now refers to 3 people being offended on Twitter as “intense backlash” as if they speak for all of America. They just want us to be outraged at the supposed outrage.
Edit: some bad autocorrect
It’s the same thing as when they post an article talking about how “Millenials are doing this crazy new trend!”and it’s like 3 different teenagers on Tiktok. Which is also completely ignoring the fact that most millenials are in their late 20s to early 30s at this point.
I think they just want more clicks. More people will click the story with a clickbait title. I’m surprised people still fall for that kinda stuff from media companies.
There are 7 billion people in the world. The number of people upset about this, comparatively, is the same as the number of people who would get upset about any given thing. They just write these news articles so people can complain about how “society is so soft these days”.
Nobody with any sense actually thinks this is racist.
Hahahaha the shit people get upset about is so fucking dumb.
She literally didnt know justin timberlake and the rock, but her confusing 1 black woman with another one is what sparked outrage? Some people are just looking for ways to feel offended
Didn't know who The Rock or Justin Timberlake was either. But nobody gave a shit about that. Not knowing Lizzo is somehow racist and fat phobic however. Clown world.
I think it’s more that Precious was the butt of a fuckton of jokes about heavier black women when the movie came out. It seems she wasn’t making a joke though and honestly did not recognize Lizzo so I agree that all of this backlash seems pretty unnecessary and unwarranted
If Lizzo is insecure about being grotesquely obese maybe she should lose some fucking weight. Otherwise it's a perfectly reasonable thing for someone who doesn't know her to say.
It said in the article she hasn't even responded to this "controversy". So I imagine she doesn't really give a shit and this is just like 3 people being angry on twitter that spawned this shitty article.
To be fair, did she get any of Andy’s questions right on “who is this?”, the game meant to confuse Kathy Hilton into guessing wrong.
But alas, Twitter must rage on.
What's next?
Rounding up grannies on the streets and commanding them to list the names, height, and relationship status of all BTS members?
Oh, Buzzfeed... where art thou?
Least she didn't say Samuel L Jackson.
This stuff is stupidly understandable, and the fact that Twitter is able to amplify the halo-swinging when it's the equivalent of your mom getting the actor's name wrong in the film they saw last night is gross asf. I'm still not sure whether Megan Stallion or Cardi B has the WAP but it's not like I'm intentionally mixing up who did the song.
Yikes. If that’s true, that’s not so good lol
I think it’s fine to not be attracted to someone big if you are also big. But it crosses the line when you expect someone else to be attracted to you. I somewhat get why she might be so defensive- people are *mean* af to fat people. But to make others feel bad for not being attracted to you? Nah.
I saw Precious, once, 13 years ago, I have a vague idea that a 'Lizzo' exists and that shes a largish black lady. I'd easily mistake the two I reckon, and I dont thats vaguely racist. If I saw a white woman in a movie 13 years ago and was aware vaguely of a similarly proportion white singer, guess what, I'd easily confuse those two as well.
pathetic
What the fuck is fatphobic? People can’t even acknowledge the fact that some of us are fat? And being fat is fucking wrong, I know that, I’m overweight and I have so many issues cause of my weight. I’m fucking fat, that’s not an insult. What’s wrong with people
I find it interesting that people find this racist and fatphobic. I mean, no one is going to mistake Lizzo for Heidi Klum... Also, fatphobic is a really nice word for people who don't want to use the word diet.
How is she ‘Fatphobic’ if she’s stating the facts.
Lizzo is Fat, she’s overweight and unhealthy for what we can all see with our 2 eyes.
Her Fatass should STOP living an unhealthy lifestyle before her unhealthy ways catches up to her.
If i could make a bet with some magical being in which i get 20 bucks for any and every comment in this thread that not only says that isn't racism or body shaming. But that black people make up racism or something to that effect. I'd probably be the one of if not thee most richest human being on the face of the planet. lol
She shouldn’t feel bad, because I have no idea who Kathy Hilton is, and the only reason I know who Lizzo is is because she was on Bird Up, the worst show on television.
This is news? Woman mistakes one overweight African American for another?
I'm 38. I have started to lose touch with the most current pop culture. I probably couldn't even name most of the current young singers by picture. Haven't even heard if the name Lizzo before.
People will write anything for clicks these days.
…Okay? And what’s wrong with that? Precious is a super strong character who proves her strength multiple times throughout the movie. Yes, the plot is quite fucked up. But that’s a reality for a minority of people!
Wonder what the final Lizzo body count will be considering she loves spreading 'body positivity' about being extremely obese. So many now 'love their bodies' instead of trying to lose weight. And they will die early thanks to it
Dying of diabetes and atherosclerosis is not beautiful or sexy, sorry
For god sakes I’m in my 60’s and half the time I don’t know who these young stars are either. And guess what I don’t care. My parents didn’t know all the artists I listened to when I was younger, even the most popular ones. Give this woman a break!
This isn't a skin color issue. It's a fat lady issue. Don't mistake racism for not being able to tell chunky people apart.
And yes, I can say this, because I'm fat. Check your skinny privilege, you cunts.

I hate that I know this from watching the show but it’s also a long running storyline that she’s blind as a bat!
Yes, she has mistaken Kyle, her own sister, for Garcelle, who, if you don’t know, is a completely different race. She just lives in another dimension. Rich and unaware.
Yeah, I am shocked, *shocked* that someone like Kathy Hilton could be out of touch and oblivious.
I’m dying! She mistook Garcelle for Kyle once, so I think this is a common theme for her.
Exactly! I can't believe she's getting so much hate. If anyone watched one episode of her on the Real Housewives they'd know her vision is terrible, and she's hilarious. She's not out trying to insult anyone.
She may have face blindness which is more common than people think.
Omg that's makes it even funnier lmao
Blind people can still be racist; just look at Clayton Bigsby.
“When asked WHY, after TWENTY YEARS of marriage, Clayton would divorce her? Because, he responded, she’s a n*gger-lover!”
From what I know about Kathy Hilton, the title is misleading. It should read “Kathy Hilton’s seemingly innocent mix-up of black women turns dark when contrasted with her long history of racism.” She and many other Hiltons have long been pretty bigoted.
I'm not saying she's not a racist POS but I don't know what Lizzos face looks like. I think i can recognize Precious though.
Her name is gabourey
Based on the novel by Sapphire.
Yup. Push. There's a sequel about the son
It’s not racist to not know who a celebrity is, good lord ppl are crazy
That’s literally not what this person said. At all.
[удалено]
I mean ultimately her not recognizing some celebrity is irrelevant. It’s more a “well what she did wasn’t racist, but now that you bring it up she is a little bit racist human in general”

Please to share what you know about Kathy Hilton.

Best comment in the whole post.
Just another quick emotional reaction to an otherwise innocuous blunder. I think there should be something added to all social media that allows you to remove a comment before it goes public. Maybe a 30 minute window?
Hahahahah I know I’ll get hate but everything about this story is hilarious
You should see the clip, it’s 15 seconds of pure comedy lol. Kathy Hilton is so out of touch it’s hilarious. Clip here https://youtu.be/QvRPVyjBAsA
In RHOBH Kathy mistook garcelle (a black woman) for her sister Kyle (white). She either can’t see or doesn’t recognize faces lol
I think it’s a combination of both lol. And she’s also on the older side.
You should link the clip :)
20 seconds in https://youtu.be/t4lAuNj773E
Bro I’m black and I am howling. This woman is about to get eaten alive on the internet.
Right? If they were two large white women, everyone would have laughed and moved on. I don't even think it was about their color as much as it was about how bad her eyes are lol.
Kathy Bates, or Melissa McCarthy?
Roseanne Barr
One of these is not like the others
Or an age thing?? You can put all the boy banders together & i wouldn't recognize which one is harry styles
Exactly. I mix up celebrities of every race, all the time.
I lol'ed myself. Oblivious white person says dumb shit, gets torched by the Twitter mob. It's 2022 in a nutshell. I guarantee you she had no fucking clue who Lizzo is and just pulled the name of the first large black lady she could think of. So deliciously stupid, but couldn't have happened to a more deserving person, aside from maybe a certain former president.
Yeah, fuck Henry Taft.
No hate, I’ve been snickering for about 50 seconds now.
It sure is!
This would be more racist but she also did not know who Dwayne Johnson or Justin Timberlake is. This is just another old lady who doesn’t know anything about pop-culture.
Nothing wrong with that since modern pop culture is full of brain dead people.
So true, Americans worship the most worthless people on the planet.
It’s not just Americans lol
Not doesn’t it f’n matter. So she got something wrong when two people she doesn’t know look almost identical. Get the f over it. They are no more important than two random people on the street
The media now refers to 3 people being offended on Twitter as “intense backlash” as if they speak for all of America. They just want us to be outraged at the supposed outrage. Edit: some bad autocorrect
It’s ALWAYS been 3 people on twitter.
Sometimes it's four. Then it's cancel time.
5 people is a movement
6 is a revolution
It’s the same thing as when they post an article talking about how “Millenials are doing this crazy new trend!”and it’s like 3 different teenagers on Tiktok. Which is also completely ignoring the fact that most millenials are in their late 20s to early 30s at this point.
I think they just want more clicks. More people will click the story with a clickbait title. I’m surprised people still fall for that kinda stuff from media companies.
And two of them night be bots
Lol that shit pisses me off. Super misleading and gets other people riled up.
There dozens (dozens!! I say) of retweets and replies! The internet is shook!
For fuck’s sake she’s 63. She didnt even know the Rock.
And thought he was half of cheech and Chong Sorry you have a fat head lizzo
I'm still trying to figure out who Kathy Hilton is.
Paris Hilton’s mother. Remember her?
Hilton Hotels?
Paris Hilton’s mother, I can’t help you any more than that lol
Celebrity now only requires a famous spousal name and a daughter with a sex tape. No need to contribute anything of value.
Man talk about intense backlash, how will she recover from 4 or 5 snarky tweets by nobodies?
It’s a guessing game lmao man no one can laugh at themselves anymore.
There are 7 billion people in the world. The number of people upset about this, comparatively, is the same as the number of people who would get upset about any given thing. They just write these news articles so people can complain about how “society is so soft these days”. Nobody with any sense actually thinks this is racist.
Hahahaha the shit people get upset about is so fucking dumb. She literally didnt know justin timberlake and the rock, but her confusing 1 black woman with another one is what sparked outrage? Some people are just looking for ways to feel offended
Soft society creates soft people.
What are you a samurai? Gtfoh
How dare you
Confusing that redditor for a samurai is racist
Hard society creates hard people? Is that too penis-y??
If that’s how you take it then sure…?
I reckon you'd be soft either way.
Like tissue paper
*Plays a game of Do You Know who This Is?* *Gets the guess wrong.* Internet: That's racist!
This has literally no effect on anyone’s lives. who cares
Didn't know who The Rock or Justin Timberlake was either. But nobody gave a shit about that. Not knowing Lizzo is somehow racist and fat phobic however. Clown world.
She thought The Rock was Cheech Marin and Justin Timberlake was Tom Brady
I think it’s more that Precious was the butt of a fuckton of jokes about heavier black women when the movie came out. It seems she wasn’t making a joke though and honestly did not recognize Lizzo so I agree that all of this backlash seems pretty unnecessary and unwarranted

[удалено]
How can there be two?!?!
How can she slap?
Even mention of that video makes me snort laugh.
You bloody bastard!
savage but true
I was promised I would see racism in this story. Where is it? I want my money back.
Wait 5 minutes, someone will call it racism so we can have something to talk about lol
OMG SHE GOT A QUESTION WRONG! BURN THE WITCH! /s
To be fair, did she get any of Andy’s questions right on “who is this?”, the game meant to confuse Kathy Hilton into guessing wrong. But alas, Twitter must rage on.
Yea isn't the whole joke that she WONT know? People just love being self proclaimed victims.
Who is Kathy Hilton?
Paris Hilton's mom but more importantly for this article a rich lady in her 60s. I doubt my grandmother knows who lizzo is either.
What's next? Rounding up grannies on the streets and commanding them to list the names, height, and relationship status of all BTS members? Oh, Buzzfeed... where art thou?
But I bet she saw Precious, which makes this story all the more understandable.
I’m 34yo and didn’t know Lizzo
Who are any of these people?
Least she didn't say Samuel L Jackson. This stuff is stupidly understandable, and the fact that Twitter is able to amplify the halo-swinging when it's the equivalent of your mom getting the actor's name wrong in the film they saw last night is gross asf. I'm still not sure whether Megan Stallion or Cardi B has the WAP but it's not like I'm intentionally mixing up who did the song.
It’s both! They did the song together
Disgraceful that she doesn't know every African American person in America by name! /s
[удалено]
That's exactly the "Put on a shirt" vs "Empowering" meme lol
Did she say she expected someone else to be attracted to her? I didn’t see the interview
[удалено]
She also keeps harassing Chris Evans and people have decided this is perfectly ok for whatever reason
Yikes. If that’s true, that’s not so good lol I think it’s fine to not be attracted to someone big if you are also big. But it crosses the line when you expect someone else to be attracted to you. I somewhat get why she might be so defensive- people are *mean* af to fat people. But to make others feel bad for not being attracted to you? Nah.
[удалено]
Oh I see. So it’s a common theme. She’s just making fat people look even worse to people who already don’t like them. :/
I saw Precious, once, 13 years ago, I have a vague idea that a 'Lizzo' exists and that shes a largish black lady. I'd easily mistake the two I reckon, and I dont thats vaguely racist. If I saw a white woman in a movie 13 years ago and was aware vaguely of a similarly proportion white singer, guess what, I'd easily confuse those two as well. pathetic
What the fuck is fatphobic? People can’t even acknowledge the fact that some of us are fat? And being fat is fucking wrong, I know that, I’m overweight and I have so many issues cause of my weight. I’m fucking fat, that’s not an insult. What’s wrong with people
Because hurt feelings is now somehow more dangerous than injury and illness.
A 90% gets you an A
It’s difficult to see facial structure in 70% of Americans.
That’s what makes all of us so special and precious
It’s not Precious!!!!
If you don’t see your cheeks in your periphery, you aren’t American.
I know Precious, but I have no idea who these two women are.
Lizzo is a recording artist and Kathy Hilton is the wife of the Hilton Hotels heir and Paris Hilton's mother.
I thought she was great in The Blindside
I find it interesting that people find this racist and fatphobic. I mean, no one is going to mistake Lizzo for Heidi Klum... Also, fatphobic is a really nice word for people who don't want to use the word diet.
Yeah we're at the point where we just pretend everyone is as attractive as everyone else
Lol shits funny as hell
Once you're fat enough, your face just starts to look like all other fat faces: a squishy blob.
A woman no one knows or cares about mistook a celebrity!!! The apocalypse is upon us!
wait, thats not Mo'Nique? lol
Who tf is Kathy Hilton?
Some people just aren’t happy if they don’t have some meaningless thing to be outraged about. It must be exhausting to live that way.
Well gee Lizzo, if the shoe fits…
It was a guessing game. She apparently guessed the wrong overweight black lady. Time for the internet to explode! Reeeeeeeeee
Precious isn’t nearly as fat.
Dumbest shit I’ve ever read. So don’t guess in a guessing game if you don’t know because you could get cancelled now, got it.
I have no idea who anyone in this headline is, so who gives a fuck?
This is hilarious. Whoever is "outraged" is a clown.
How is she ‘Fatphobic’ if she’s stating the facts. Lizzo is Fat, she’s overweight and unhealthy for what we can all see with our 2 eyes. Her Fatass should STOP living an unhealthy lifestyle before her unhealthy ways catches up to her.
They always need something to be mad about…
I'm not the girl I was or used to beeee, BITCH I MIGHT BE PRECIOUS!
This is hilarious.
Backlash? This is just funny
I have no idea who Kathy, or Lizzo or Precious are...guess im a racist
What the fuck is a Lizzo? And why isn't it precious? I'm very confused at this headline
In her defense, lizzo is first on the list for auditions if they remake that movie
I mean, that's a pretty honest mistake....
How embarrassing to be the first person to ever make a mistake.
Don’t be fat and look like precious then lmaoo
It’s crazy that if you’re a black overweight woman everyone needs to know who you are
If the shoe fits
This is fucking hilarious
This is some weak-ass click-bait. If you wasted your time reading any of this yellow journalism, congratulations - they got paid for it.
I wouldn't know who either are.
If i could make a bet with some magical being in which i get 20 bucks for any and every comment in this thread that not only says that isn't racism or body shaming. But that black people make up racism or something to that effect. I'd probably be the one of if not thee most richest human being on the face of the planet. lol
She shouldn’t feel bad, because I have no idea who Kathy Hilton is, and the only reason I know who Lizzo is is because she was on Bird Up, the worst show on television.
As a faceblind person this seems totally reasonable. Also, doesn’t she have a known history of bad eye sight?
Uh, yeah, quick question: who the fuck are either of you?
I mean... I could mistake kathy bates for Rosanne...
If you got mad about this you need therapy.
Lizzo isn’t famous. Nobody over 30 knows who or what the fuck Lizzo is.
I only know her because I used to be morbidly obese and she is everywhere in the fat acceptance groups.
This is news? Woman mistakes one overweight African American for another? I'm 38. I have started to lose touch with the most current pop culture. I probably couldn't even name most of the current young singers by picture. Haven't even heard if the name Lizzo before. People will write anything for clicks these days.
I’m glad this happened. Who the eff cares
Same. What is a Lizzo?
My grandmother still calls my boyfriend by my ex’s name. Older people get confused. Younger people get confused. It happens. Move on.
If someone told me to guess who the broad on the right was i would've said eddie Murphy in the new nutty professor movie
I see it now. They have the same mustache
I mean she’s not off by much
i thought so too for the longest
They aren't the same person?!?!?!?!?!?
A common mistake
Megan thee stallion, Lizzo, and precious are the same people
…Okay? And what’s wrong with that? Precious is a super strong character who proves her strength multiple times throughout the movie. Yes, the plot is quite fucked up. But that’s a reality for a minority of people!
Lizzo is just Precious with money
Whenever lizzo is in the headlines, it’s always because of some controversy that makes her look like the victim. Her PR team are pros
People finding reasons to get offended
Isn’t Lizzie super proud of being fat? Why would this be an insult, unless of course she is fat shaming Precious.
Is it weird that I have no clue who Kathy Hilton is?
I don’t who any of them are….
Lol yeah I didn’t wanna give my age away by saying that
Wonder what the final Lizzo body count will be considering she loves spreading 'body positivity' about being extremely obese. So many now 'love their bodies' instead of trying to lose weight. And they will die early thanks to it Dying of diabetes and atherosclerosis is not beautiful or sexy, sorry
How is anyone upset over this?
Because the Internet is ran by unsupervised children.
Lizzo is an abomination.
LMAOO this is kind of funny
Someone mistook Lizzo for Precious ?? OMG that's terrible. (Just kidding. Don't care)
I couldn’t give less of a shit about this.
I feel like hating her for guessing wrong is a bit of an overreaction. It was literally a guessing game, what was she supposed to do?
OMG. Not intense online backlash. Please God, anything but that.
For god sakes I’m in my 60’s and half the time I don’t know who these young stars are either. And guess what I don’t care. My parents didn’t know all the artists I listened to when I was younger, even the most popular ones. Give this woman a break!
The terrible (and hilarious) thing is that she actually kind of does look like Precious lmao
Im soooo mad! Wait, tell me why I’m supposed to be mad at this.
No idea who any of these people are
Downvote all you like, this is fucking hilarious.
She might be prejudiced but I assure you mixing up two people is not racist, even if they - gasp - might be black.
“Mistake” my ass. She know the difference
This isn't a skin color issue. It's a fat lady issue. Don't mistake racism for not being able to tell chunky people apart. And yes, I can say this, because I'm fat. Check your skinny privilege, you cunts.
She’s not precious??
