Natalie Portman is pushing back against claims made by Moby that the two dated in the late '90s, when she was barely 18 years old.

In the musician's new memoir, Moby describes meeting Portman backstage at one of his shows in 1999. He (incorrectly) asserts that she was 20 years old at the time, while he was 33. He then goes on to claim that the two dated for awhile, and he "tried to be her boyfriend." He says Portman ultimately broke it off.

But in a new interview with Harper's Bazaar, Portman is disputing his claims, and expressed her disgust at the whole situation.

I was surprised to hear that he characterized the very short time that I knew him as dating," she told the magazine. "Because my recollection is a much older man being creepy with me when I just had graduated high school."

She also pointed out a key mistake Moby made about her age and hints that he possibly made that error on purpose:

He said I was 20; I definitely wasnt. 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," she continued. "It wasnt the case. There are many factual errors and inventions. I would have liked him or his publisher to reach out to fact check.

And Portman's memories of their interactions are very different from what Moby describes in his book:
I was a fan and went to one of his shows when I had just graduated. When we met after the show, he said, "Lets be friends." He was on tour and I was working, shooting a film, so we only hung out a handful of times before I realized that this was an older man who was interested in me in a way that felt inappropriate.
This morning, Moby took to Instagram and doubled down on his claims that he dated Portman, saying he "cant figure out why she would actively misrepresent the truth."

He insisted that his version of events is accurate, although he did not address the (easily Googlable!) fact that Natalie would have been 17 or 18 in 1999, not 20 as his book claims. He also did not address why he, a man in his mid-thirties at the time, was so keen on dating a teenager.

"I completely respect Natalies possible regret in dating me (to be fair, I would probably regret dating me, too)," he wrote. "But it doesnt alter the actual facts of our brief romantic history.


Moby ended up posting this on his Instagram as a response

i don't know who exactly to believe here, but i find it strange that they are both being so weird about her age at the time. 18 is 18. it's the legal age of consent. there isn't anything wrong with two consenting adults being involved with each other.


If your biggest card is "well, its legal!" they're too young for you

this is all I could find when I looked it up

https://www.huffpost.com/entry/natalie-portman-moby-relationship-memoir_n_5ce55c97e4b0db9c29911b4c

claims they kissed under the centuries-old oak trees at Harvard and would lie with each other in her dorm room bed.

After she fell asleep I carefully extracted myself from her arms and took a taxi back to my hotel, he writes in his book. Moby claimed that he tried to be Natalies boyfriend, but it hadnt worked out because she allegedly found someone else.

Portman completely denied Mobys story in an interview with Harpers Bazaar UK published Tuesday, telling the magazine she remembers their relationship very differently.

I knew a girl who said she wasnt dating a guy but in the guys opinion he was.

Guy thought because he went out to dinner, coffee, lunch, movies over a month period and paid for everything that he was going on dates.

The girl didnt deny that those things happened. She just didnt consider that dating. When I asked if she thought they were just friends she replied with no. Then I said you yall werent friends and you werent dating why didnt you pay for anything? She changed the subject.

I think they're both telling the truth.

He was probably a bit creepy for being so much older but she liked the attention at the time and later regretted it so she denies it

Moby apparently also took out his dick and rubbed it against Trump at a party:

He wrote that when he and his friends who had been drinking noticed Trump "standing a few yards away" from them, one pal suggested Moby "knob-touch" Trump which he explains is "when you take your penis out of your pants at a party and brush it up against someone."

"'Really?' I asked. 'Should I?'" Moby wrote in the excerpt. He described Trump as a "mid-level real-estate developer and tabloid-newspaper staple whose career had recently been resuscitated by a reality-TV show."

"'S,' I said, realizing I now had to knob-touch Donald Trump," Moby said. "I drank a shot of vodka to brace myself, pulled my flaccid penis out of my pants, and casually walked past Trump, trying to brush the edge of his jacket with my penis. Luckily he didnt seem to notice or even twitch."

Okay now I'm starting to think this guy enjoys making up stories for attention. That seems like a funny joke 12 year olds would come up with but nobody would actually do. And if 1 did end up doing it that person would almost certainly notice

Their stories directly contradict each other. How can they both be telling the truth


As I said, they probably did date very briefly. He considered their little "fling" a short relationship while she most likely regretted the whole thing and doesn't. Nobody knows for sure.
