Ok I wasn’t sure whether to post this in a more general section or here but has anyone else been following the Moby controversy with his initial autobiography and weird follow ups?

Most sane men seem to go to desperate lengths to deny being a pervert or their predatory past times but here is a guy who had a relatively good reputation as a lefty with no previous accusations against him who seems to be determined to tell everyone how much of a wrong un he was and is! Is the bloke going mad or just totally lacking self awareness of how bad he’s coming across. It’s like he’s determined for everyone to hate him or something

More a tosser than a shagger.

Lana Del Rey has just gone up in my estimation. He sounds totally boring and a creep.

As the author of this Guardian article says, the expression on Natalie Portman's face in the photograph Moby posted on Instagram as supposed proof of their 'relationship' is "the face you put on when you don’t want to offend a dude who is hitting on you." I think we've all been there.

This piece is unusually perceptive for the Graun, as it accurately describes the archetypal woke bloke with which we're all familiar round here: presents themselves to the world as a progressive nice guy but is ultimately still a raging misogynist when things don't go their way.

Nothing wrong with being a shagger if that’s all he did. Others will have done worse but don’t seem to want to shout it from the rooftops like this guy. And if he’s such a good shagger why does he make stuff up which he didn’t even do?

Don't ask me how I know this (!) but he was notorious on tour for having his staff pull young women out of the audience . He's a known shagger. Apparently he had a double bed on his tour bus. It's always the quiet ones!

The crazy thing is NP had never even called him out about being a creep when she would have been within her rights to do so. Only responded as he brought her into it and then he got annoyed about her denying his fantasy relationship ever existing. The book was bad enough and I’ll judged but when the whole world pointed out it makes him look like complete wrong one he seemed to put the pedal to the floor determined to smash into the wall. Wouldn’t be surprised off the back of this loads of women will come out of the woodwork who previously kept quiet and he ends up getting arrested for something

Having never been a fan I enjoyed his first book but I do think he’s a very very odd person. I guess it doesn’t make him a bad person though

The only bit I'm aware of is the bit about Natalie Portman. She says she was 18 and extremely uncomfortable about the attention from this 33yo man, he doubles down and says they were definitely dating. Very odd behaviour on his part.

It’s so lame also. He’s bragging about pull good looking younger girls but doesn’t even seem to have been successful at getting them into bed and seems to fail to get anywhere past the kissing stage! Seems like he’s in the middle of a break down as at least Natalie Portman has said he’s talking shite
