The simmering feud between NeNe Leakes and Star Jones finally boiled over tonight on Celebrity Apprentice.
In what was arguably the most dramatic episode of the season, the ladies' explosive confrontation was just one of several dramatic twists, including the dramatic return of LaToya Jackson who was fired last week.
The whole ordeal between NeNe and Star began when Star suggested that NeNe should be project manager for their latest assignment of staging a live hair show.

But the Real Housewife of Atlanta was not happy about being told what to do and unleashed a barrage of insults and threats against Star.
'Who the f*** died and made you the
God of assigning project managers,' the Atlanta Housewife shouted, as a
stunned Donald Trump and the owner of the Farouk Systems hair care company watched in horror.
NeNe didn't stop there! She yelled at Star: 'I will take you down... when the rest of these girls won't.'
What an attitude: An out-of-control NeNe had choice words for everyone on the women's team
Adding to the drama quotient,
NeNe walked over and got in Star's faces issuing the warning: 'Now where's Barbara
Walters? How educated are you on the street?'
The strange reference to Walters appeared to be NeNe's way of saying that The View co-host may have given Star her big television break, but NeNe could just as easily take her down.
After overcoming her initial shock, Star responded: 'I don't do threats.'
Dramatic Twist: Donald Trump held a private meeting with LaToya Jackson where she urged the billionaire businessman to bring her back
Unprecedented: A smiling LaToya was allowed to return to the show, just one week after being fired
But NeNe wasn't having it and yelled to star: 'Shut the f*** up.'
Despite their differences, NeNe finally calmed down and accepted the assignment, but the fireworks and drama were just getting started.
A few minutes later in another shocking twist, Trump held a private meeting with LaToya Jackson who he fired from the show just last week.
Smart move: The men brought supermodel Niki Taylor back, who was fired weeks ago, to help spice up their hair show
Big hit: With her curly blonde hair and cheeky performance, Niki wowed the crowd during the men's show
'I want to come back... I don't see any grounds for my being fired,' LaToya said as she appealed to the billionaire businessman to bring her back.
'I've never done that...in the history of the show,' Trump said, but he eventually relented in what appeared to be yet another calculated move to boost ratings.
About ten minutes into the task, the men's team Backbone already seemed to be in trouble, although Lil Jon appeared relaxed and at times even cocky when it came to setting up a hair show.
Failure: Hope looked stiff and uncomfortable as she walked the stage during her performance in the women's hair show
The men then brought in talent in the form of supermodel Niki Taylor, who was ironically on the women's team earlier in the season.
Back to the women's team, the actual assignment started out awkwardly as the ladies wondered how to proceed after NeNe's explosive outburst.
'She's just this vicious and mean woman,' former Playboy Playmate Hope Dworaczyk.complained, when NeNe obviously wasn't listening.
Winning: The men's team won the challenge, thanks to Lil Jon's leadership and help from his celebrity friends, including musician Questlove of The Roots
Once the women's team finally calmed down, they got things in motion with a theme that was geared around dancing, bouncing hair and having fun.
The men's show was even more energetic, with Lil Jon doing a bit of rapping, and bringing his celebrity friend, Questlove on stage, who is the front man for hip-hop group The Roots.
As they two teams headed into the boardroom more fireworks erupted when NeNe berated Star for her bossy behaviour and for acting like a puppet master to both Marlee Matlin and Hope.
Once the women stopped bickering, Trump finally took control and dropped another bombshell, revealing that he was bringing LaToya Jackson back, but this time she would join the Men's team.

Then Trump announced that the men had won the challenge and one of the women would get the boot, for a second straight week.
When it was time to decide who should go home, NeNe told Trump that either Hope or Star should be fired.
While Marlee was allowed to leave the board room first, Hope and Star tried to gang up on NeNe.
But their efforts failed, and Trump ended up telling Hope You're fired.
