Not only did she publicly embarass her family, she almost killed someone with her own lack of self-control. The only problem with it was Jacques handling of it and rationale. If he'd used the whole "you comitted assault with a deadly weapon and would have been a murderer if it wasn't for Ironwood" angle instead of his "Schnee name blah blah" rant I would've been on his side all the way. I would also have been on Jacques' side if the scene had been handled a little different.

For example, when Weiss asked if she was her prisoner now, I would have liked Jacques to say, "Its called being grounded. Gods, I really spoiled you a lot".

It wouldn't have been a lie, because for most of her life, Weiss had been getting exactly what she wanted. And it wouldn't have been out of place because Weiss was actually asking to leave Atlas after the mess she caused, apparently without thinking about the possible consequences.
