If he had a generic but apologetic statement released already, then at least it could've been included in all this negative coverage, and perhaps of even provided context for why he did it. Instead, the media is now controlling the narrative and it was always going to be negative, because the instagram likes are inexcusable.

With People and Vanity Fair covering the story, the damage is done now, and yes, he can (and probably will) still offer a public apology, but he could have lessened the fallout if ABC had just figured out how to address this earlier. Not that I think he deserves to be let off the hook at all, I'm just genuinely surprised at how badly ABC handles these kind of things. You'd think after all the controversies they've dealt with over the years with this franchise that they'd be better equipped. I guess not.
