yes, anyone who errs should admit to and apologize for their errors, though it takes a lot of strength and courage to sometimes. But noone (with exception of other gedolim/those in place and right to give mussar) can push another to apologize or take back his words. Artchill did bring up a good point though, perhaps it happened but didn’t spread. Perhaps a direct apology and amends were made, and the hurt ones didn’t want their name and story to once again go public, so were content with the private one. And perhaps we just can’t understand the thoughts, understanding or cheshbonos of those that much greater than us. And don’t forget how media plays a broken telephone- we arent even allowed to believe 3rd hand information
