Two middle-aged women getting into a physical fight? Just your average day on The Real Housewives of Atlanta!

E! News has learned that a brawl recently took place among RHOA castmembers Cynthia Bailey and Porsha Williams. We're told the two, along with co-stars Kenya Moore and Kim Fields were on a boat when Cynthia and Porsha got into a fight over something trivial. 

After their heated exchange, Cynthia walked away in an attempt to disengage before Kim followed her and tried to console her, at which point Porsha walked to where Bailey was sitting and attempted to hash it out again.

The two then started arguing and that's when Cynthia kicked Porsha in the stomach. We're told it was a short-lived brawl and Porsha left shortly after.

Meanwhile, a second source tells E! News that Porsha is not planning to press charges. "Everyone just wants to put it behind them," the insider says. "There's a lot of filming left to do and they just want to move forward."  

Filming has officially begun for season 8 of the hit Bravo series. Two new ladies, Amiyah Scott and Kim Fields, have joined the cast following veteran Atlanta Housewife NeNe Leakes' departure after starring on the show for 7 seasons.

Scott is a transgender model (born as Arthur and raised in New Orleans). Earlier this month, a source told E! News that she had not been offered a series regular role as a Housewife, but had begun filming with the ladies. 

"Amiya is a friend of Kenya's," a source told E! News exclusively, "and she was at an event that Kenya threw last night. So she filmed last night. Other than that, she's having conversations with production. Talks are happening but it's too soon to say what will come of it."

Meanwhile, Fields, who got her start in Hollywood as Tootie on Facts of Life, has been named a Housewife and the plan is to have her very much be a part of the new season. The show's other stars, including Kandi Burruss, Kenya Moore, Cynthia Bailey, and Phaedra Parks, are expected to stay on as main cast members while Claudia Jordan is leaving after just one season.
