street theater 

It's a term that actually goes all the way back to 1600 Victoria-era England. Certain women, in an act of trying to get into certain high-end social circles, would openly and crudely mock and ridcule other women in hopes of publically humiliating them, oftentimes using what was considered course language back in the day.

One woman was ridiculing another and it was such street theater.
