All apologizing (Specifically public apologies) seems to do is signal that there’s blood in the water and open one up to actual long-term image/career damage, while flat-out ignoring the situation seems way more likely to see you through relatively unscathed.
None of those fuckers are credible, so apologies are just another communication. I generally have a hard time that people demanding a sincere apology are honest either. It’s just a way to tear them down. Which often, fair.
