In this episode, we define assault and battery, discuss the legal theory of self-defense, and talk about provocation and "fighting words." We use examples of threats and hair pulls by housewives from past episodes, and analyze the physical altercation between Monique and Candiace, of the Real Housewives of Potomac, from a legal perspective.
