an apology means very little when it only comes after someone reports the behavior. taking responsibility isn't just saying "it was inappropriate," but understanding why it was hurtful and making a genuine effort to improve. calling it a "childish joke" minimizes what was actually said. some comments go beyond immaturity and deserve deeper reflection than a brief, published apology. calling your girlfriend a "some bitch" wasn't funny; it was disrespectful. if you love someone, you shouldn't disrespect them.
