How very ignorant of everything else that happened.

1-She yelled at the guests, people who, regardless of anything, were going to donate money for the charity, money that Vale could very well use given it's current state.

2-She almost hurt (or worse, killed) one of them. Sure, it was by accident, but she still did it. If not murder, it would've been assault or manslaughter, and those are not small crimes. She was lucky Ironwood was there.

Then, despite all that:

1-She demands to be allowed to leave Atlas anyway.

2-She dismisses any consequences of what she had done. "Damage to PR" was just the most minor of them, and even then, Public Reputation can very well decide your future, in case you didn't know that.

With good PR, everyone loves you, is more willing to help you, and more willing to forgive you. With bad PR, it's hard to even find someone to support you for long, and if problems arise, fingers will be pointed at you.

While Jacques takes it to an absurd level, worrying about the SDC's PR is something that is justified. And Weiss's complete dismissal of that, and not even feeling guilty of what she had done, only makes her look like a brat.

And then, when Jacques is scolding her, like any parent should when their kid misbehaves like that, she decides to outright insult him and point out he's "not even a real Schnee", which, judging from his gasp of surprise, it's something he took very personally.

And then, when she's grounded for all she had done, we're apparently supposed to feel pity for her and think Jacques is the Devil incarnate for doing what pretty much any reasonable parent would've done (minus the slap).

Hell, even giving Whitley the inheritance of the SDC. Considering Weiss's rebellious and bratty behaviour, anyone with half a brain at least, would not let her get what is the biggest Dust-working company on the planet. Sure, Jacques doing so via lies is questionable, but it's still a justified decision.
