Well, this escalated quickly.

Promoting the latest instalment in theSharknadomovie series must be a very run-of-the-mill experience for Tara Reid by now. TheAmerican Piestar is currently doing the rounds for the FOURTH movie in the series, because apparently one movie about a monstrous freak storm that hurls sharks at people wasn’t enough.

But the actress had a curveball thrown at her when she sat down for an interview on Friday with Jenny McCarthy for her SiriusXM radio show – and the tension soon erupted into a fierce fight to rival the commotion of, oh, a tornado that hurls sharks at people?

For a taste of shark-storm carnage, watch the trailer forSharknado 4here. Post continues after video.

McCarthy (a formerPlayboymodel, host ofThe Viewand a passionate anti-vaccination advocate) started the interview by talking about Reid’s latest reality TV role onMarriage Bootcamp: Reality Stars(a show with the catchphrase“Reality TV Brought Them Together. Real Life May Tear Them Apart.”oooh…).

“I f**king love you on that show, but are you glad you did it?” McCarthy probed.

But Tara was reluctant to talk about anything other than her new movie, her participation in the show clearly hitting a nerve.

But McCarthy continued to circle in on the subject, much like a large ocean predator moving in on an injured seal, remarking how much she “loved” the show.

McCarthy momentarily obliged and actually asked some questions about the film for awhile, but her interest in the SyFy Channel's latest repackaging of theSharknadofranchise soon waned and she moved onto probing questions about Reid's history with plastic surgery.

By the tone of Tara's short and blunt replies, the 40-year-old actress was really, really done with talking about her much-discussed forays into cosmetic surgery – and so, so done with keeping up this majorly passive aggressive conversation.

Then Tara's attempt to shut-down the interview really amped up a notch (this seal was not gonna be anyone's dinner today!).

"Good luck to you, too, and I'm so excited aboutSharknadoand I hope you stay married," McCarthy replied, with the resolute calm of a Great White. "I hope your knees get a little wobblier than they already are." (Whatever that means?)

"I hope you stay married too. I'm sure he's a nice guy," Tara responded. "I hope your tits get even nicer, because they're amazing. The same guy who did mine, right? I'll always use your advice. You're the best. Bye."

(BUUUUURN!)

The excruciatingly tense ordeal then finally came to an end, but not before McCarthy got in one last jab:

"Love you, Tara. Good luck withSharknado 18."

Ouch. The shade thrown from both sides of this

terrifying ordeal

interview was more dark and ominous than, oh, an approaching hurricane that hurls sharks.

Meanwhile, here's Jennifer Lawrence nailing the awkward celebrity interview.
