I don't think @michaelbuble needed to issue an apology. He didn't say or write anything wrong. #peopleneedtorelax

That "apology" by @michaelbuble was NOT an apology for taking a picture of a woman & putting it on the internet without her consent.

@ITryTAPH @michaelbuble I'm glad to hear an apology has been extended and believe it should be accepted in good faith.

@michaelbuble Your FB apology was as bad as your initial post -- it hurts YOU deeply?
