I think the misleading precap was just a strategy to make a little soft spot in the fans' hearts for Rey. You know it's human behaviour, you get something worse and you sulk, but as soon as you get something better you feel happy, even if the thing is not the best. Like here we were so disturbed, giving gaalis and thrashing him for the precap, but then they showed that oo Rey did not leak the tape and so we are happy. People are even apologising for not trusting the character. I am happy too but this does not justify him coming to conclusions or insulting her infront of the office. Yes he did not show the clip to everyone but he did use it to hurt her. But after watching it we all forgot how he is hurting her and we are just happy that he didn't do the worst thing. So yeah they pretty much succeded in their first attempt of whitewashing Rey.
