Every famous musician probably has done some things you don't want to think about.

Some react very poorly when accused(Maynard!) and some react with ????? like Moby who straight up disappeared in a weird sort of penance after saying he went on a date with Natalie Portman but she said clearly we were just friends and this isn't cool.

About 10ish years ago me and some friends attended this multi-act 90s R&B concert headlined by R. Kelly (I know Jon B. was one of them, drawing a blank what the others were at the moment). When it was time for R. Kelly's set, the host (a local radio DJ) came up to the mike looking a little nervous, told the crowd it was time for the headliner and what a treat we have for you and how dope this headlining act was for being able to come in on such short notice... K-Ci & Jojo!

The crowd made the most hilarious cacophony of simultaneous disappointment and people trying to be good sports, and while most of the audience stayed, there was this mass exodus of disgusted R&B fans filing out and the lines to the exits were still visible well into K-Ci & Jojo's show. Apparently R. Kelly had a history of just no-showing to concerts. Thank god he's in prison!

Hey now, K-Ci & JoJo had a couple of great songs. Takes me right back to my senior year when “All My Life” plays somewhere.

So we've all seen cosby, kelly, the living and posthumous MJ, but I gotta ask, where all the white entertainers at? I mean surely at this point we'd have convicted dozens and dozens of high profile white singers, comedians, athletes and it'd be a household story everywhere but off the top of my head I can only really think of louis ck and the house of cards guy, neither of which faced anything criminal.

Moby who straight up disappeared in a weird sort of penance after saying he went on a date with Natalie Portman but she said clearly we were just friends and this isn't cool.

it was a bit creepier than that

the guardian posted:

In the book, the musician, now 53, claims the pair dated when he was 33 and Portman was 20, after she met him backstage in Austin, Texas. He recounts going to parties in New York with her, and to see her at Harvard University, “kissing under the centuries-old oak trees. At midnight she brought me to her dorm room and we lay down next to each other on her small bed. After she fell asleep I carefully extracted myself from her arms and took a taxi back to my hotel.”

Portman disputes Moby’s account. “I was surprised to hear that he characterised 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 told Harper’s Bazaar. “He said I was 20; I definitely wasn’t. I was a teenager. I had just turned 18. There was no fact-checking from him or his publisher – it almost feels deliberate.” The book has their first meeting dated as early September 1999, which would have made Portman – who was born in June 1981 – 18.

When the judge first told Mr Kelly he'd be doing 15 years he seemed quite happy. It wasn't until his lawyer learned over to explain that the judge meant "in prison" that the smile faded.
