Reality turned ugly for Australian reality TV show starlets Vernesa and Sophie outside a cafe in a Sydney shopping centre.
The duo from The Shire "dramality" show, known for their love of Botox and fake tanning, found themselves under attack in what media first described as a "knife fight".
But a police source later described it as a "catfight" between two groups of women.
Australia's Network Ten, which is broadcasting the widely panned TV series, has assured fans that the pair were shaken, not slashed.
Vernesa suffered minor facial injuries and was treated at a local medical centre.
"We can confirm Sophie and Vernesa were the victims of an altercation today at Rhodes Shopping Centre," a Network Ten statement said.
"Neither sustained serious injuries and while very shaken, they are in good spirits."
The attackers were believed to be former friends of Vernesa and Sophie.
