Mark Wahlberg’s wife Rhea Durham sort of apologized to Justin Bieber about slamming his Calvin Klein underwear campaign and insinuating that his photos were retouched. Her husband Mark Wahlberg modeled in a similar campaign several years ago.
Some of her comments led to a viral frenzy over whether or not Justin Bieber’s um–package–had been enhanced in some of the photos.
It’s uncertain whether that’s been determined yet or not.
On Tuesday, when Justin Bieber’s ad went viral, Mark Wahlberg’s wife let loose with a series of Twitter rants about her husband’s campaign outweighing Justin Bieber’s. And she may have taken it a bit too far.
Just gonna say this…..did u ever hear the song

Justin Bieber fans became irate, prompting Mark Wahlberg’s wife to save face, before an all-out Twitter war broke out.
I have no ill will against anyone! I'm just super biased for my hubby that's all. Mark loves Justin. It's all good! xo
— Rhea W. (@rheadur) January 9, 2015
Maybe she really had a change of heart–or was simply misunderstood?
Hey! Guess what??? I love Justin! My husband loves Justin! My daughter loves Justin!! And Harry(but that's another story) it's a love fest
— Rhea W. (@rheadur) January 9, 2015
No. It really looks like guilt got the best of Mark Wahlberg’s wife.
I'm not censoring how I feel about my husband! That's my Man…..sorry! One day Justin will have a wife too and she'll do the same!
— Rhea W. (@rheadur) January 9, 2015
And then there comes a point where you over-apologize and that typically serves to make one look especially guilty.
But hey while we're on the topic…..w/out sounding cougarish Justin looks very very good in his ads! But I still love Harry! (and Mark)
— Rhea W. (@rheadur) January 9, 2015
But wait–it continues.
Wow…..at this point I'm just confused! There all hot! Damn ya'll!!!

So what’s your take? Did Mark Wahlberg’s wife feel guilty over her insinuation that Justin Bieber’s crotch was stuffed and that he didn’t look as hot as Mark Wahlberg in his Calvins?
Justin Bieber didn’t go into the campaign in hopes of outshining Mark Wahlberg. In fact, he tweeted about talking to Mark about the campaign.
Just spoke to my boy @mark_wahlberg. Honored to be a part of the legacy. @CalvinKlein #mycalvins
— Justin Bieber (@justinbieber) January 7, 2015
Justin was also very excited to tweet this.

Mark Wahlberg’s wife has reached–no, actually surpassed–the point at which she should simply stop talking about her comments that set off Justin Bieber’s fans. A simple apology is one thing–but she went for overkill. And that serves not only to make her look guilty–but kind of ridiculous, too.
