If they admit what it says, with or without apology, people will hate them and boycott them. And regardless of response, just responding to the letter will draw more attention than necesary, which can affect their reputation even more. Well, if they deny and give a reasonable explanation for the events, then I believe that at least the majority of people (repeat, depending on the reason) would be willing to accept their excuse.

If they do admit it, with an apology then they also need to provide sufficient compensation to cover the damages they have caused (and probably some actions to avoid making the same mistakes in the future, you kno the normal stuff that shows a person/company is truly sorry).

If they admit and do not see anything wrong with their actions, then that would be the worst case scenario.

Regardless of this, the longer they go without replying the more attention they will have, because it will make it seem as if they are avoiding this issue, and refusing to give the fans any answers. Which is even worse than the worst case scenario.
