Remember when the Shaunie O’Neal said this season of the Basketball Wives would be a kinder and gentler version? Of course, that was a lie.

If that actually happened, the show would be canceled. Here is the latest altercation for the “Reality TV” cameras as told by TMZ.

Sources close to the production tell TMZ that the fight went down at a restaurant in L.A. where the cast was taping an episode for season 5 — in which Kenya (who was fired last year) was temporarily brought back to settle her beef with Suzie.

We’re told the two got into a heated verbal exchange … which quickly escalated when Suzie threw her plate of meatballs across the table, striking Kenya.

According to our sources, Kenya fired back by lunging at Suzie and then punches were thrown on both sides. Producers were forced to step in and break it up.
