A star of the MTV series "Ridiculousness" is calling sex assault allegations against him absurd.
It was Vargas' threat of reporting him to police that she claims caused
the TV personality to jump from the vehicle while it was still moving.
Sterling (Steelo) Brim, a co-host turned producer for the TV series, is
facing a police investigation following claims that he physically
attacked the actress in Midtown Manhattan after she refused his sexual
demands.
A sexual abuse complaint filed against Brim by Mary Jean Vargas, 25,
accuses him of repeatedly grabbing her around 4 a.m. Saturday while they
were driving near Central Park South and Avenue of the Americas.
"This isn't a play. It's something that happened, and I'm hurting. And
he's switching everything around and trying to play the victim. I was
physically attacked. He's making me seem like I'm wrong," the Bronx
woman told the Daily News.
The adult entertainer said she told Brim to stop but instead of
complying he moved his hands to her breast. At one point he grabbed her
between her legs while saying, "It's mine," according to police.
It was Vargas' threat of reporting him to police that she claims caused
the TV personality to jump from the vehicle while it was still moving.
Brim, whose MTV program relies on amateur internet videos, tucked and
rolled out the door -- all the while injuring his arm and damaging his
Rolex watch, according to TMZ.
The raven-haired beauty soon after reported the incident to police and
denied Brim's later claim that she held him in her car against his will.
“No one should ever go through what I went through. I did everything I could to defend myself,” she said.
Brim’s side is calling her story a total fake, one he says she threatened him with while he was trapped in her car.
“The girl is totally lying,” a source close to Brim told the News. “She
straight up admitted that she was going to shake him down while they
were still driving around together.”
In a Tweet to his 360,000 followers Monday evening, he again professed his innocence.
“God knows I could/would NEVER!! Thanks for the love,” he stated.
A request for comment from MTV about the allegations was not immediately returned.
