"The Real Housewives of Atlanta" star Nene Leakes lashes on co-star Sheree Whitfield after talking about the former's mug shot in the reality series' latest episode.

On the Sunday, Jan. 7, episode of RHOA, Whitfield dissed at Leakes for calling her incarcerated boyfriend, Tyrone, a "con artist."

For her confessional, Whitfield answered, ""Really, NeNe? You and Gregg both have mug shots."

Leakes, obviously, did not like her comeback one bit, as she savagely told host Andy Cohen and fellow guest Tyra Banks on the Sunday episode of "What Happens Live."

When asked what she thought about Whitfield's comment, Leakes said she did not care much about it, explaining that anybody can have a mug shot, even for a traffic ticket.

The former "The New Normal" star then launched a vengeful tirade about how having a mug shot differs from being an actual felon.

"A mug shot does not equal 10 years in prison for doing a ponzi scheme. I ain't spent a day in jail doing nothing, honey. Okay?" said Leakes, to the shocked reaction of Cohen and Banks.

"You got 10 years in prison, you sure wouldn't walk around being nice to no damn body," she added. "You got 10 years with the FEDS, honey. That's a whole 'nother situation."

Leakes then asked Whitfield to worry about her own mug shot instead, reminding her that she was once caught stealing at a store. "Her son's got a mugshot, and her man's got a mugshot. Please don't call out no mug shot's now," she continued.

Her ravaging comment lasted all but 40 seconds, but it was enough to make even the veteran Cohen speechless, moving on instead to ask Banks about her return to "America's Next Top Model."

Find out how the mug shot rift between Leakes and Whitfield unravels as RHOA airs every Sunday, 8 p.m. EDT, on Bravo.
