Forget the Crips and the Bloods: We have a new rivalry in America, and it's turning very ugly very quickly. At this week's Bravo A-List Awards, the Real Housewives from NYC and OC joined together to read a script during the ceremony. A bunch of she said/she said ensued, complete with actual claw marks:

'They [The OC Housewives] said in our material that my apartment is a two-by-four, and it’s actually a one-by-two, and so I can take it, I don’t care, [NYC housewife Bethenny] Frankel told People. 'But they’re offended that I’m saying something about them living 65 miles from the beach. [OC housewife] Jeana said, "I don’t think that’s funny."'

From there relations between the ladies apparently got extremely chilly. Jill Zarin from the NYC cast said, 'Bethenny gave a dressing down in the dressing room to one of the Housewives,' but OC cast member Tamra Barney tells the story differently.

Barney asserts that Frankel actually came after her physically: 'Bethenny scratched me a little bit. I swear to god. She tried to get me from behind and I put my arm up, and she scratched me. I covered it with makeup.' … Barney’s response? 'The Housewives of the OC can kick the Housewives of NYC’s ass!'

Oh, so is this how real housewives act? If that's the case, then someone needs to tell my mom, because she is obviously falling behind in the motherhood department.
