Moby is stepping away for a minute after apologizing to Natalie Portman regarding his new memoir, “Then It Fell Apart.”
“I’m going to go away for awhile,” he wrote in an Instagram posting that went up Wednesday. “But before I do I want to apologize again, and to say clearly that all of this has been my own fault.”
The musician was slammed for remarks he made about Portman in his book.
In it, Moby claimed Portman flirted with him in his dressing room when he was 33 and she was 20 and said he tried to date the actress in the early 2000s.
Portman, who is now 37, denied it all in an interview with Harper’s Bazaar and said she had just turned 18 when the two met.
“I was surprised to hear that he characterized 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,” she said.
Moby initially hit back, saying he wasn’t a liar and had photographic evidence to back up his story.
He eventually posted an apology to Portman on his Instagram account.
