Moby cancels book tour to 'go away for awhile' after Natalie Portman dating controversy

#Moby #NataliePortman #Dating #Booktour #Controversy

Moby is canceling the remainder of his book tour following the Natalie Portman controversy where she contested dating claims in his new memoir, "Then It Fell Apart."

"I’m going to go away for awhile," Moby wrote on Instagram Wednesday alongside a message declaring it was his "last post." His website added that the musician is "canceling all upcoming public appearances for the foreseeable future."

That includes his upcoming book tour dates in the U.K. and Ireland, which were scheduled to follow the completion of the American leg next month.

"We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause," his website continued. "All tickets will be refunded at the point of purchase, and Moby is happy to provide signed bookplates to everyone who bought tickets to these events."

The cancellation comes on the heels of Moby's public spat with Portman.

In his memoir, Moby claimed that he briefly dated Portman in 1999 when he was 33 and she was 20. However, the actress quickly shut down the relationship rumor, telling Harpers Bazaar UK that she was only 18 at the time and that Moby was "a much older man being creepy with me."

Moby doubled down on his story by sharing a picture of him and Portman, adding, "Natalie’s possible regret in dating me... doesn’t alter the actual facts of our brief romantic history."

The post has since been deleted from his Instagram account and was replaced by a public apology to Portman over his current behavior and actions two decades ago.

"As some time has passed I've realized that many of the criticisms leveled at me regarding my inclusion of Natalie in 'Then It Fell Apart' are very valid," he wrote. "I also fully recognize that it was truly inconsiderate of me to not let her know about her inclusion in the book beforehand, and equally inconsiderate for me to not fully respect her reaction."

He added, "Also I accept that given the dynamic of our almost 14 year age difference I absolutely should've acted more responsibly and respectfully when Natalie and I first met almost 20 years ago."

Moby continued his apology Wednesday, acknowledging that "all of this has been my own fault."

"I am the one who released the book without showing it to the people I wrote about. I’m the one who posted defensively and arrogantly. I’m the one who behaved inconsiderately and disrespectfully, both in 2019 and in 1999," he wrote.

"There is obviously no one else to blame but me," Moby concluded.

Why Christopher Reeve's ''Superman' Is So Hard to Leave in the Past

#ChristopherReeve #Clarkkent #DCcomics #LoisLane #RichardDonner #Superman Forty years ago, Richard Donner and Christopher Reeve made a Superhero film that directors have been chasing for years, depicting who America was then — or at least who we wished to be Superman. It’s now easy to believe a man can fly. It wasn’t in 1978, but today, in midst of an explosion of superhero movies, it’s a belief we give into with relative ease. Flight is most often the bare minimum of what we expect from heroes and villains who can perform any feat limited only by the human imagination. It’s not simply special effects that permit our belief, but rather an overall acceptance that these costume-clad characters are a defining part of our culture, modern myths at their best and populist cinematic staples akin to the 20th century western at their lowest form. There have been a record nine theatrically released superhero movies based on comic books this year alone, each claiming a major piece of the glo...
