[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The fact that he elided her age to 20 when she had just turned 18, according to the "facts" in his book, should cast doubt on his accuracy overall. I thought NP's comment about fact-checking and neither Moby nor the publisher reaching out to her to verify was a strong pushback.[/quote]

18 19 and 20 are pretty interchangeable. An adult in college.

Jerry Seinfeld’s young toy was a 17 yo high schooler when he creeped on her in Central Park. [/quote]

I think his getting her age wrong was purposeful, and not because those years are interchangeable. Look at what she actually says:

“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.”

Even when he pushed back with the photo, he put her age wrong, when that is verifiable. Who's the unreliable narrator, here? He also called her interview part of "gossip." She spoke directly, on the record, to [i]Harper's Bazaar.[/i]

When I was looking for her quote, I found this on Lainey Gossip, which must have been reading my mind (and many others).
