Let me put it another way; every instance of Weiss being "singled out" by the other three up to now, barring the one throwaway remark Ruby made in the latest episode (which Weiss returned in kind with the "I don't know if I should be proud or scared" stuff, which just highlights the fact that it's a meaningless back and forth thing they do), has been completely, utterly, 100% justified. In fact, there were a few occasions when she deserved worse verbal lashings than the ones she ended up getting. Her treatment of Ruby in episode 8, for example - all throughout Weiss's nonsense tirade about Ruby being a poor fit for leader and how it should've been her, what did Ruby retort in her defense? Did she point out that Weiss had behaved horribly in that class, or that Ruby's "telling her what to do" gave her the knowledge she needed to actually beat the boarbatusk? Knowledge she proceeded to make use of without qualm? No, Ruby didn't. Ruby stood there and took abuse she absolutely did not deserve while Weiss stomped off like a self entitled brat and complained to Port.

How about her treatment of Blake in the final two episodes? Besides her sudden turnaround of opinion at the end of episode 16, Weiss was behaving abysmally and exuded ignorance throughout 90% of her argument with her (which Blake rightfully called her out for), but after that? Did Ruby or Yang make any effort whatsoever to "single Weiss out" or belittle her, after she'd caused another huge implosion in team dynamic and made Yang's partner run away for two days? No. The closest they got to that was Yang asking her if she even cared whether or not they found Blake, and when Weiss reacted in typically pigheaded manner to that Yang just shook her head and sighed. This was all while Weiss kept suggesting they call the police on Blake, mind you. She's not singled out, she just behaves poorly and gets called on it. They still treat her as a friend and as a teammate.

And yes, the pie was unwarranted, that was all on Nora for flinging food in the first place. But it was also funny, and Weiss seemed to think so too in the end, so it's hardly a big deal. They all had a great time smashing each other into pillars and through ceilings.
