Stephanie Rice has hit back at reality show rival Roxy Jacenko, threatening to take legal action against her.
The drastic move comes after public relations queen Jacenko dissed triple gold medallist Rice in Confidential on Tuesday.
They are already feuding femmes on Celebrity Appentice Australia.
But Jacenko upped the ante, banning Rice from borrowing fashions or goods from the 80 or so brands represented by Jacenko's company.
But Rice's manager Titus Day lashed out at Jacenko's insults, and met with lawyers, News.com.au reported.
"Stephanie won't lower herself to getting into a tit for tat with pea-minded publicity seeking nobody like Roxy," Day told Confidential.
