Two ladies of the "Real Housewives of Atlanta" (RHOA) have been in a recent catfight, E! News reported.

The show's Cynthia Bailey and Porsha Williams found themselves arguing, eventually leading to a physical fight on a boat when the show was filming for the upcoming season 8.

Although it's no surprise that Williams gets physical on-screen, she and Bailey have been seen as good friends who support each other; but the boat incident showed otherwise.

According to reports, Bailey kicked Williams in the stomach, who then visited the hospital after.

TMZ reported that the latter was given medications for her injuries. The intense drama was all caught on film and will be included in season 8, but it's unclear if Williams' visit to the hospital will also be thrown in.

In season 6 of RHOA, Williams also got into a physical altercation with Kenya Moore, resulting in a hair-pulling disaster.

Since network Bravo, producer of the show, is strict when it comes to physical violence, Williams received a lesser role in the series.

Amidst the fighting on the boat, a source told E! News that Williams will not be pressing charges. According to the source, everyone just wants to forget about what happened and resume filming.

"There's a lot of filming left to do and they just want to move forward," the source said.

RHOA has officially started filming for new episodes of season 8, which will feature two ladies stepping in to fill the gap left by NeNe Leakes who recently left the show.

Actress Kim Fields and transgender model Amiyah Scott are reportedly joining the show.

Scott will be the first transgender to ever appear on the Bravo hit series.

Meanwhile, the premiere date for season 8 of RHOA has yet to be announced.
