Moby recently released a new book, and in it claims he and Natalie Portman had a brief romantic relationship when he was 33 and she was 20. He says that when they met, she was “in my dressing room, flirting with me.” He then alleges that he was going to tell her that, due to his anxiety, he couldn’t be in a “real relationship” with her. Alas, she called to inform him she had met someone else, and he was relieved he didn’t “have to tell her how damaged” he was.

Portman recalls a very different side of the story in a recent Harper’s Bazaar interview…

“I was surprised to hear that he characterised the very short time that I knew him as dating because my recollection is a much older man being creepy with me when I just had graduated high school,” Portman told us. “He said I was 20; I definitely wasn’t. I was a teenager. I had just turned 18. There was no fact checking from him or his publisher – it almost feels deliberate. That he used this story to sell his book was very disturbing to me. It wasn’t the case. There are many factual errors and inventions. I would have liked him or his publisher to reach out to fact check.”

“I was a fan and went to one of his shows when I had just graduated,” she said. “When we met after the show, he said, ‘let’s be friends’. He was on tour and I was working, shooting a film, so we only hung out a handful of times before I realised that this was an older man who was interested in me in a way that felt inappropriate.”

Yikes. See more about the dispute on this Twitter moment.
