At Russell Brand trial, former MTV employee describes fear of reporting alleged rape

A former MTV employee testified at Russell Brand’s trial that she initially did not report an alleged rape because she feared being “seen as trouble” in the TV industry, Deadline reports. She said she warned the party’s host about Brand within days but did not allege rape in that call. She also stressed that her job was “way down my list of concerns.” Brand denies the charges and has pleaded not guilty.
