Taking Responsibility, But Leaving Questions

Schneider went on to say he owed apologies and wished he could turn back time to "do better." He addressed concerns about sexualized content, claiming he never intended the jokes to be seen that way. However, acknowledging the hurt he caused, he expressed remorse and sorrow.

Looking Ahead: Will There Be Consequences?

Whether this apology signifies a true change or is simply damage control remains unclear. It's uncertain if Schneider will face further consequences or if this can be put to rest. Only time will tell.
