Moby

Oh you've come to my rescue. Thanks!

Here is a share token for the Caitlin Moran article. I hope the Times doesn't track its subscribers' use of share tokens. I might be blacklisted!

Ugh. It reminds me of when I was younger, you have been on a date with someone or kissed them and they tell their mates you slept with them.

Except that he is in his fifties, he actually wrote it in a book and there was literally nothing between him and NP.

What a sad, delusional cockwomble.

Yeah, Eminem had him pegged from the get-go . He's gross

Guys like that really rub me the wrong way. When I was in the workforce I worked with a lot of men, and most of them were what you might call unreformed, and mostly I liked them and got along with them really well. And I dated some and they were actually quite nice to date for the most part. They never creeped me out the way the lefty vegan smooth guys do.

He is a pathetic weasel

Sadly so many men are so entitled any women that find attractive who pays them attention they make the decision that the women is interested

I glad NP has called him out it happens so often

I remember reading an interview with Moby in a mid-1990s music mag (maybe Select?) where he mentioned apropos of absolutely nothing that walnut oil, as well as being nice in salad dressing, is an excellent sexual lubricant.

My “ew, WTF” reaction has stayed with me. It wasn’t that he mentioned sex, it was more the way it was kind of gratuitously, Partridge-ishly dropped in, like “I know you wouldn’t think it to look at me, readers, but I am a Sex Person.”

Wouldn't have thought he was on a Savile level, just a common or garden perv. We didn't have the gloriously dismissive language we have now, as his sort have revealed themselves over the years. Okey dokey wokey blokey. As someone pointed out, the likes of Eminem were spewing out their messed up misogyny and psychic baggage and mummy issues all over the place but at least they were honest about it. I have no idea whether this is true or not, but on a gut level, observing Eminem over the years, I got much less of a creep vibe off him than Moby.

He comes across as a complete creep. Natalie Portman gave him short shrift, didnt she?

Urgh.

I'm going to an event we're he talks about his new book. Should be interesting now...

I was just going to post about Savile. Before he died I assumed there were two groups of people: those who knew nothing and those who had looked into the nature of Savile and had become instantly aware that there was something very nasty indeed. After he died I was astonished to find that there was a third group, those who seemed to know much about Savile but were apparently completely in the dark that there was anything wrong.

I’m sorry one can be a ‘creep’ but that doesn’t make them on a par with child sex abusers. Why will there be ‘more serious allegations’? Maybe he’s just a twat that thinks a lot of himself and tries it on with women.

I can't read that Times article - and I'm no teenage editor of a music mag - but even I knew that Moby has had an awful reputation. Always has. Just a common or garden creep, with fame, money and power, who was also vegan.

I thought his dodgy nature in this regard had been generally known for many years.

Caitlin Moran did a find job in today's The Times:

The section about Moby is at the end and is cut off. No great exposé, just an appropriately cutting summary. Maybe some kind person will come along with a share token.

The whole thing reminds me of that scene in the film Juno. She spends time hanging out with the couple who're going to adopt her baby (they're planning an open adoption - supposedly possible in the US, though I'm not sure how often it happens in practice). She thinks of the bloke as a father/elder brother figure and is really enjoying hanging out with him and playing guitar - right up till he hits on her.

Same creepy vibe coming off Moby, in spades. Which is a shame because back in the day I liked his music.

That article. What a load of self indulgent tripe!

What a total wanker.

I hope the Lana Del Rey story is true.

That article is just...... wowwww

Another yawny creepy vegany misogynistic woke bro. Ick.

I do like the fact that the world has finally woken up to the fact that being Woke and being a generally decent human being are not in any way interchangeable.

The only good thing about that book is the proceeds go to an animal charity.
