It took place in the backseat of a car on the way to a Pride after party.
Also in the car were LeeAnne Locken of Real Housewives of Dallas, Reza Farahan from Shahs of Sunset, who could be seen trying to calm them down and urging them to stop fighting before getting out of the car.
Morgan called out Mortimer for badmouthing her to the press: 'Be nice! Say thank you for the housekeeper. Hype me as a great friend. Say thank you!'

Mortimer shouted back: 'You still don’t understand, which is so f*cked up. I literally walked in after being abused, mentally and physically by a man, I walked in within a month...'
She was referring to her allegedly abusive relationship with Alexander 'Nico' Fanjul in Palm Beach, Florida, which she ended before joining RHONY in 2017.
Another video shows a different part of the exchange, when Morgan defended herself for bringing Mortimer on the show in the first place: 'Did I bring you on the show or what?'
As they arrived, Locken tried to defuse the situation: 'Yo, we’re here. We’re done. Let’s go, babies.'

Farahan also tried to calm them down: 'We can’t do this outside of the car. In the car, okay. Out of the car, not okay.'
The ladies avoided each other on the float before ending up in the same car, but were apparently at each other's throats at a bar where the Bravo group pre-gamed before the parade.
A source told People: 'They were bickering and arguing all morning. Mix that with a day of drinking and it’s no surprise it got that bad. I’m surprised they didn’t strangle one another on the float!'

They were joined on the float by Real Housewives from other cities like Teresa Giudice, Dorinda Medley, Margaret Josephs, Melissa Gorga (New Jersey), Gizelle Bryant (Potomac), NeNe Leakes, Eva Marcille and Cynthia Bailey (Atlanta).
Southern Charm star Patricia Altschul and Below Deck Mediterranean's Captain Sandy Yawn were also in attendance to ride on the Bravo float.
The float also featured drag impersonators of Lisa Vanderpump, Lisa Rinna, Erika Jayne and Captain Sandy.
Cohen said of the float before the parade: 'The float is going to break Gay Pride. It really is. It’s basically my baby shower, but on a float.'

After some celebratory drinks, the group walked to the float, where they were joined by Cohen and RHOA star NeNe Leakes.
The multi-level float was filled with Bravo stars and fans, and it featured the word 'LOVE' in rainbow colors, with the Bravo logo in place of the O.
This year's World Pride took place in New York City to mark the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall riots, which kick-started the LGBTQ+ rights movement.
