Musician Moby dated Natalie Portman and Lana Del Ray--now Portman says no, he was a creepy predator

Anonymous
I think it's both. So he dated her or hung out, very interchangeable when you are 20. And she looks back embarrassed. She now thinks it's creepy, although she didn't before. If there is more dorm pics then she was willing to hang out with him. I think still it's borderline creepy but there are many Hollywood men who date younger so it's just that's he is weird, gives that vibe.

He was into her and it never occurred to him that she wouldn't want to be with MOBY. So he ignored any signs that a normal person might pick up on. It's pretty gross to me.


She was a star too. Was she fawning over him? Or was he fawning over her? Was she so used to being fawned over that she didn't realize that she didn't like him until several "not dates" later?


She liked his music. They're both from NY. They're both vegan now - I don't know if they were then. She didn't like him romantically. She liked him as a mucisian (sp?).

I think at the time (being 18) she probably thought it was great that this older famous guy was interested in her. It made her feel older,more mature, and connected to the music industry.

I am sure they hooked up a few times or dated for a bit.

Looking back now though the eyes of a mature woman, she thinks it was gross and disgusting but back then through the eyes of a n 18 year old, it likely seemed flattering.

Not all 18 yos are interested in hooking up with older guys, no matter what your masturbatory fantasies might tell you.

Even at 18 I was skeeved by older men showing me attention. Total turnoff. At that age, you need to be pairing off with people closer to your own age. I'm sure there are girls who do like the older men, whether it's because they have more money to buy them stuff or daddy issues or whatever, but I don't think it's the norm.

You’re projecting. Since the dawn of time, physical prime women have been interested in high status more mature older men, and vice versa. Only to bitter cat women past their own physical prime is this gross or creepy.

Of course Natalie’s PR team was going to win. Weaponizing MeToo is undefeated.

A thirty something guy is ancient to any 18 year old girl.

Meh. When I was 18 (the same age as Portman during the alleged relationship) I hung out with lots of different guys, multiple times, there are probably lots of old pictures of us next to each other at parties, dorm rooms, etc. That doesn’t mean we were dating.

When I was in my early 20s and dating, I had a hard cut-off at 29 for guys I would date. Had no trouble meeting guys my own age (including my now-husband), but wow, some guys got really angry when I wasn’t interested in dating someone ten years older than me.

Portman is performing age discrimination, she better check her privilege

You’re still proving my point. These guys were in college with you? So you both were in the same place or reason to be around, a party with mutual friends, or a hobby. Moby and Natalie had to have a reason or some other connection to multiple times hang out. Where they even in the same city? She was willing to hangout even if now she’s not. I just don’t see myself posing with the same guy i thought was creepy, over and over again willingly regardless of age.

Drake is currently 32 yo. Leo DiCaprio is 44. Christiano Ronaldo is 34. Safe bet either of them could get practically any gal on any college campus.
