While The Things reported that not only were Madonna and Mark Wahlberg briefly a rumored couple, but they’re distant cousins. Even though that’s some wild information, it’s not that’s not the major incident that connects them, actually. Back in 1993, People reported that the two stars were guests at talent manager Gerry Harrington’s Hollywood Hills home to celebrate the 29th birthday of Alek Keshishian, a client of Harrington’s. Keshishian directed Madonna’s well-known 1991 documentary, “Truth or Dare,” and recently “Selena Gomez: My Mind and Me.”
Reportedly, a brawl took place between Madonna’s people and Wahlberg that resembled “the hip-hop version of the OK Corral,” per witnesses. There are conflicting accounts of how this fight started. Madonna’s spokesperson, Liz Rosenberg, told People that Wahlberg called one of the singer’s group members “a homo.” Others claimed Madonna started it because she’d heard Wahlberg had been “dissing her in the press.” If this was the case, it was very Nicki Minaj vs. Miley Cyrus circa 2015 VMAs, with Madonna reportedly yelling, “You’re not my friend,” to Wahlberg because of it.

They started throwing “sexually explicit insults” at each other, but things got physical when Wahlberg reportedly shoved people trying to intervene. He then punched talent scout, Guy Oseary, in the nose, breaking it. A GLAAD campaign Wahlberg was supposed to film shortly after this was also apparently put on hold most likely for the anti-gay remarks.
