Open Post: Hosted By Kathy Hilton Reapplying Her Lipstick On Stage During Mariska Hargitay’s People’s Choice Awards Acceptance Speech
Anyone who’d been under the impression that Kathy Hilton’s awkward, dim, and out-of-touch rich lady antics were reserved for her quirky and dysfunctional The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills persona would be incorrect; because Kathy also just brought her awkward, dim, and out-of-touch rich lady antics to the 2022 People’s Choice Awards stage. Last night, Kathy and a few of her RHOBH castmates took the stage as presenters, but when it was time to take a few steps back for Mariska Hargitay to give her acceptance speech for “drama TV star of 2022,” Kathy either forgot where she was or gave no fucks about decorum as she applied lipstick while on stage–also while on camera.
People says that Kathy “unintentionally” stole the spotlight from Mariska’s heartfelt speech by making sure she was camera-ready ON CAMERA, but anyone who’s even slightly familiar with her or her self-absorbed daughter, Paris Hilton, might be skeptical about the unintentional part since the moment has now gone viral (sitting on my hands to not make a Paris/virus pun) after Access Hollywood posted the clip on TikTok.
The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills cast was on hand at the 2022 People’s Choice Awards to present Mariska Hargitay with her award for drama TV star of 2022, but while the winner was speaking, all eyes turned to Kathy Hilton, who took that moment to reapply her lipstick.
While Hargitay, 58, was showing her gratitude for the Law & Order: SVU fans who voted for this award, Hilton, dressed in a caped purple mini dress by Valentino, opened her Valentino handbag behind Hargitay and touched up her makeup.
Though she was quick about it, everyone saw it, including Access Hollywood, who posted the moment on TikTok. The zoomed-in shot shows Hilton — right over Hargitay’s shoulder — opening her handbag to search for her lipstick.
Here’s the moment that Access Hollywood labeled as “iconic“:
@accesshollywood KATHYYYYY!!!! 💀💀💀💀💀💀💀#PCAs #RHOBH #housewivesoftiktok #kathyhilton
Luckily for Kathy, she’s so far avoided being caught on camera using gay slurs, despite being accused of using them by Erika Jayne; AND kept her rumored nuclear-level RHOBH meltdown from seeing the light of day. We can only expect so much restraint from an eccentric, oblivious millionaire who probably hasn’t purchased her own underwear since the 80s.
