Then It Fell Apart covers the subsequent decade from 1999 to 2009 when Moby released the album Play to acclaim and success.

In particular, the memoir deals with his surprise at the accidental success of Play, his descent into alcohol addiction, and his decision in 2007 to finally go to rehab in order to stay sober.

[1] In his memoir, Moby detailed several flings he had had with famous women, notably including actress Natalie Portman among them.

In an interview with Harper's Bazaar, Portman said "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 had just graduated high school.

[6] Moby also revealed that in 2001, he rubbed his flaccid penis on Donald Trump at a party after being dared to do so by his then-girlfriend.
