Gabourey Sidibe shaded Kathy Hilton nearly four years after the reality personality confused her with Lizzo.

Hilton misidentified Lizzo as Sidibe during a round of celebrity photo guessing game, “Will Kathy Know Them?” on an August 2022 episode of “Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen.”

Upon being shown a photo of Lizzo, 37, the “Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star, 66, remarked, “I feel like I do [know her]. [Is that] Precious?”

After some uncomfortable laughter from the audience — and host Andy Cohen, Hilton explained, “That’s, like, what I call her. Her nickname’s Precious to me.”

Former “RHOBH” star Crystal Kung Minkoff, who also appeared in the episode, tried helping Hilton by saying, “She is precious, though. Lizzo is precious.”

Sidibe, 42, who was nominated for an Oscar for her role in the 2009 drama film, finally weighed in on the moment during Wednesday’s episode of the One54 podcast.

“That was weird because I have been to that lady’s house and had a meeting with her,” she laughed, referring to the reality TV star. “I was like, ‘I know you — Kathy.’”

“I’ve never met Lizzo, but Lizzo and I do different things,” she explained. “I’ve been confused for many a Black fat, like many, many, many women. And it’s always weird and tinged with racism.”

She added, “I did think that was weird, Kathy Hilton. Because I have been to that woman’s house and had a meeting with her because she wanted to dress me. I was like, that’s so strange.”

Sidibe seemingly confessed to being put off by Hilton referring to her as her titular character. “You oughta know my real name, also, ’cause she said ‘Precious?’ I just…I don’t know.”

A rep for Hilton did not immediately return Page Six’s request for comment on Friday.

An insider divulged to E! News that the Bravolebrity felt “terrible” following the mistake and ensuing fan backlash.

“She gets a little nervous when she is on live TV,” the source told the outlet. “Kathy is a very sensitive person and would never intentionally hurt anyone’s feelings.”

They added that the Hilton matriarch “doesn’t know who anyone is.”
