"I feel like I do," she said when asked if she recognized Lizzo in a photo. "Precious?" With an uncomfortable smirk on his face, Andy Cohen couldn't even finish his response as he and fellow guest Crystal Kung Minkoff were reduced to laughter. Kathy looked on confused.
One can only assume she's referring to Gabourey Sidibe's titular character from the 2009 film, as that would be the most famous individual identified by that singular word. Both women are plus-sized and Black, but that's where their physical similarities end.
"I don't know her," Kathy conceded. The two Black men behind the bar for the episode, Greg Mathis Jr. and Elliott Cooper of "Mathis Family Matters," were both laughing and giving very knowing glances that seemed to say cringe and yet funny and yet very cringe.
"She is precious, though. Lizzo is precious," Crystal said, trying to help Kathy save face.
"That's what I call her," Kathy said, jumping into the lifeboat. "Her nickname's 'Precious' to me."
