It was pretty pathetic, but one positive I hadn't known about was that afterwards in addition to publicly apologizing, Joe entered an outpatient program for alcoholism. He used the embarrassment from the incident as motivation to get and stay sober. So the outcome might be that it massively improved his own life. I don't think it hurt Suzy's image at all, either. She handled it perfectly in the moment, then afterwards immediately accepted his apology and moved on.
