Wendy Osefo is calling for disciplinary action after her co-star Mia Thornton threw a drink at her.
The altercation happened during a dinner scene in the current seventh season, which is set to end on Sunday when the third and final part of the reunion airs.
The Real Housewives of Potomac cast were in Miami last May when the altercation was captured by Bravo’s cameras.
Osefo and Thornton were embroiled in a heated debate about Peter Thomas, their mutual acquaintance Real Housewives of Atlanta fans will recognise as Cynthia Bailey’s ex-husband.

Thomas owns the restaurant where Osefo and Thornton had a heated argument.
Osefo is still upset over the incident and says every time the clip resurfaces she’s in disbelief that it happened and called Thornton’s actions ‘one of the highest forms of disrespect’.
"Every time I see the clip of Mia assaulting me and throwing a drink in my face, I'm still beside myself. I can't believe that happened," she told Insider.
"It really did impact me in a way that I felt violated. In the reunion, you hear me say, 'You disrespected me to my deepest core'
The mum-of-three shared: “For me, throwing a drink in someone's face — especially one you've already sipped from — is analogous to almost spitting on them. I just felt as though that was one of the highest forms of disrespect.”
Production security had to step in to calm the situation down after Thornton threw her drink at Osefo.
“I am someone who takes pride in my ability to convey my messages through the use of my words, and Mia's inability to do that, and the fact she got flustered, and she thought the best way to combat me was to physically attack me, is something I just can't stand beside,” she added. “I don't think there's any excuses to that."
Thornton has previously expressed regret over throwing the martini at her co-star and admitted she makes ‘mistakes’.
“I do not think that anybody deserves to have a glass [thrown] in their face. I'm not perfect. I make mistakes. I have this thing with food, and it flying in the air, clearly," she told Page Six last year after the episode aired.
In season six, Thornton launched a salad at co-star Candiace Dillard.
She went on: “I’m going to work on tossing things. … I immediately go into this, like, ‘Oh, my gosh Mia, no one deserves to have anything thrown at them.’ Like, that’s real rude. I will own that. Self-accountability 101. It’s not the nicest thing to do to anybody.”
