‘Stooge’ Moe’s ‘kin’ in sex claim vs. Viacom pair

- Julia Marsh and Ruth Brown

A reality-TV star wannabe who claims to be the greatgrand­son of “Three Stooges” legend Moe Howard alleges he was raped by two Viacom executives.

Rovier Carrington, 29, on Tuesday filed suit in Manhattan Supreme Court against the estate of late Paramount CEO Brad Grey, former MTV President Brian Graden and Viacom seeking $100 million in damages.

Carrington — described in the suit as “Hollywood royalty” — claims that in 2010, Grey invited him out to dinner in Beverly Hills while Carrington was trying to shop around several TV shows, including one about his own bisexual dating life.

Afterward, Carrington alleges in the lawsuit, the exec drove him back to his house and started kissing him, growing violent and warning that if he “did not have sex with him, he would destroy any chance [he] had of building a career in the entertainm­ent industry.”

Carrington claims he was “defeated” and allowed Grey to give him oral sex.

He further claims that a few months later, Grey lured him to his room at the Beverly Hilton to discuss “studio business,” then raped him.

In 2014, Carrington al- leges, Graden drugged him with a cocktail then assaulted him.

Viacom said in a statement, “We take allegation­s of this sort seriously, and are reviewing the complaint.”
