Not only is it a problem for you, but it is in a way greenlighting this behaviour by Brand to continue if he's getting what he wants.
Tell Brand to eff off and deal with the fallout should it turn against you. If your employer isn't going to back you (there would have had to been witnesses) you don't want to and shouldn't be working there anyway. No job or money is worth putting up with that kind of bs and who knows if taking action or ripping a strip off of him would have stopped or prevented further instances from ever occurring.

easy for you to say. you were not the one facing the end of their career in the industry. you think a studio is going to back the word of a lowly assistant over the star?
you think her saying no and likely ruining her career would have made him stopped Brand from doing what he's always done?
sure she could have said no, but I sympathize with her and I don't blame her.
