'That he used this story to sell his book was very disturbing to me,' Portman said. 'It wasn’t the case. There are many factual errors and inventions.'
Following Moby's memoir hitting shelves earlier this month, Natalie Portman spoke out to Harper's Bazaar in an interview published Tuesday, refuting claims made in Then It Fell Apart that she and the now 53-year-old musician had briefly dated while she was a college student.
An excerpt of his memoir read:"I was a bald binge drinker who lived in an apartment that smelled like mildew and old bricks and Natalie Portman was a beautiful movie star. But here she was in my dressing room, flirting with me." Portman went on to say Moby's behavior at the time was"inappropriate" and detailed the"relationship" as meeting up only a"handful of times."
Following Moby's recollection of his relationship with Portman, many commenters sided with the actress on social media, saying the musician's behavior was"predatory"–opening up another chapter within the Time's Up and MeToo movements. “I recently read a gossip piece wherein Natalie Portman said that we’d never dated. This confused me, as we did, in fact, date," Moby captioned an old photo of him and Portman. "After briefly dating in 1999 we remained friends for years. I like Natalie, and I respect her intelligence and activism. But, to be honest, I can’t figure out why she would actively misrepresent the truth about our involvement.
