Natalie signed her soul away and had to give it up to be somebody. So did the other one he named. She's been a party favor so long she doesn't remember all of them.

I believe him. I also think he should have told her he was going to say what he wrote. Expect an apology from him. Or not.

That's the thing though. You may not have any idea who he is NOW (and maybe you are too young to remember) but at that time, Moby was a BIG DEAL! I mean a BIG BIG deal and she would have been just as attracted to his star power as he was to her young hotness giving him attention. In hindsight I'm sure she *is* embarrassed because he's kind of odd and creepster, but that is total revisionist history.

PP who grew up near Natalie Portman, I was a year ahead of her and had friends who went to school with her. At that point in her life, she was not sleeping with anyone and was a pretty uptight prude. The classic Natalie story at that time was her excuse that no one asked her to prom because boys only asked girls to prom for one thing, and she was not the kind of girl who would give them that one thing.

Sure? I'll believe they didn't hook up. That was early for hookup culture anyway. That doesn't mean she gets to rewrite a guy she now regrets.

"tried to be her boyfriend" (his words) is clearly not the same as dating. I've been in the same room as guys who wanted to get with me too. We weren't dating.

A List rock star (at the time), backstage, exchanged phone numbers, hanging out, dorm visits. It was obviously a little fling. Now she is grossed out by her slumming phase, or whatever, and is rewriting the narrative. She's damn near flirting with calling him a rapist, but that would of course force her to admit there were hookups. I find her behavior really disturbing.

I agree. Moby was huge in the music scene at that time...probably the peak of his career actually. How's he getting into her locked dorm building unless she's letting him in?

Her career is stalled, most recent movies bombed, so she's trying to bury him to jumpstart something. Such is Hollywood.

It’s not hard to imagine that she was a fan and considered him a friend, and he saw it as something more. Certainly wouldn’t be the first time a guy mistook friendly conversation for romantic interest.

In his book he also talks about dating a pre-fame Lana Del Rey in 2006, when she would have been 21 and he was 41. Obviously a creeper.

Leo DiCaprio is 44. His current girlfriend is 21.

He always dates inappropriately young women. Not sure what your point is?

Leo DiCaprio is a well-known Creeper, he just gets away with it more because he’s better looking and more successful than Moby.

Adult women are attracted to and seek out famous rich older men. Many such cases. I suspect 30-something Moby owning the NYC club scene as a rich A list rock star was probably attractive, to some, back in the day. It's not predatory just because it doesn't align with your phony curated perfect mother persona.

In 15 years when he's balder and chubby, will it be okay for all the 20-somethings he's boinked to claim he was a creepy predator who took advantage of them?

That’s a nice theory and might be credible for some other women, but Natalie Portman has never been known as the clubbing type.

This whole thread is just some gross creepers getting off on the idea of getting with a barely legal Natalie Portman.

I think we should focus on what this reasonable person said. I also think this is the most likely explanation for this particular he said/she said.

She didn't go clubbing, she hung out with Moby.

And apparently regrets it.

Agreed.
