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.

9 things about MLK's speech and the March on Washington

#MLK #MartinLutherKingJr #MarchonWashington #IHaveaDream "I have a dream this afternoon that my four little children will not come up in the same young days that I came up within, but they will be judged on the basis of the content of their character, not the color of their skin." The Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. spoke these words in 1963, but this was not the speech that would go down as one of the most important addresses in US history. King spoke these words in Detroit, two months before he addressed a crowd of nearly 250,000 with his resounding "I Have a Dream" speech at the March on Washington for Freedom and Jobs on August 28, 1963. Several of King's staff members actually tried to discourage him from using the same "I have a dream" refrain again. As we all know, that didn't happen. But how this pivotal speech was crafted is just one of several interesting facts about what is one of the most important moments in the 2...

Coping With Moods: The Challenge of the Turbulent Mind

#Mood #Impulses #selfregulate #selfsoothe #Triple5LightTherapy #BlackMaleTherapist #Psychotherapy The power of moods and impulses can be overwhelming, but we can learn to self-regulate and self-soothe through awareness practices like meditation and mindfulness. By developing a healthy dialogue with our emotional nature, we can access deeper parts of ourselves and become more resilient in the face of stress and pressure. Rather than being swept away by our ever-shifting moods, we can learn to pause and reflect before acting. by Gillian McCann, Ph.D., and Gitte Bechsgaard, RP

4 Strategies for practicing Radical Self-Acceptance

Radical Self-Acceptance Painting by Jennifer Mazzucco #mindfulness #self-judgment #RadicalSelfAcceptance #negativethinkingpatterns #thoughts Radical acceptance involves acknowledging how life unfolds without resistance, even if we don't like things at any given moment. It can take effort to apply this principle. How can we begin to accept our situation and ourselves despite experiencing anxiety, uncertainty, and fear? Why self-acceptance is not the same as complacency. It is essential now, more than ever, to practice radical self-acceptance. This means training ourselves to find inner stability despite unpredictable external circumstances. Ultimately, we are responsible for acknowledging our hidden wounds, which can lead to personal and collective growth. Radical self-acceptance is the opposite of avoiding responsibility or giving up in self-defeat. It requires pushing against old ways of being to open the door to deep healing. Embracing radical self-acceptance allows us to int...
