Assert:
"She asserted her arrival at the grand ball."

Opposite of assert:
"Shortly thereafter, she stomped off in a grand huff 'cause everyone was
all "blah blah blah Cinderella" and not paying any attention to her."

Therefore, the antonym of assert is "stomped off in a huff".

Mandy...yeah, but it's Friday in somebody's time zone...
