Hendrix Estate Says Vivid's Hendrix Sex Video Is A Fake

Quote:

We, Experience Hendrix, the family company of Jimi Hendrix are aware of the release of the adult videotape which alleges to contain illicit footage of Jimi Hendrix. We strongly dispute the claimed authenticity and affirmatively state that Experience Hendrix is neither involved in, nor have we authorized the distribution of this film. Further, we deplore this obvious exploitation of Jimi Hendrix. We view the release as nothing more than a callous attempt to trade on the image and reputation of a deceased artist who is unable to defend himself against such an outrageous and baseless assertion. We are highly offended by the disgraceful portrayal.

While we do not wish to call undue attention to this desecration, we reserve all rights and remedies under the law to protect the character and legacy of Jimi Hendrix with which we have been charged and legally possess.

I'm happy to know that the Hendrix estate is not involved with the Vivid sex tape.

Several people who knew Hendrix have also stated that it can't be him, citing specific reasons such as, Hendrix had different facial/body features, and the fact that Hendrix didn't wear as many rings as the person purported to be Hendrix is wearing (I wonder if there are even any photos of Hendrix wearing the same jewlery he is wearing in the video).

Personally, I don't care whether or not the video shows the real Jimi Hendrix...Vivid really crossed a moral line in releasing the video, and I hope they gets their asses sued for doing so.

I always heard he was pretty damn shy anyways. To me that typically means you do not film yourself having sex or let someone else film you.

Now can people get slapped around for using the name?

I wanted to see Jimi bone the white bitches

It's possible that Hendrix filmed himself having sex, lot's of people do, that doesn't mean that they want the whole world to see it.

On a technical note, back in the 60's, film had to be developed, and even a person of Hendrix' stature would have had difficulty getting a sex film processed (particularly if it involved multiple partners and interracial sex - remember, what we take for granted, was taboo 40 years ago).

I don't know the legalities surrounding whether Vivid has a right to use the name Jimi Hendrix, whether or not it is actually Hendrix depicted. I'm fairly certain that Vivid's thinks that they are on solid legal ground.

It will be interesting to see what the next move will be by the Hendrix Estate.

May Vivid rot in hell :mad:

You got to remember its not like now, pull out the video camera and get busy. Back then it was film and everyone didnt develop that type of stuff. So it would of taken lots of planning.
IMO I doubt its him.

I'm a big fun, and I'm so happy to hear that.

wow... surprise surprise

Yeah, whether it's real or not, it was pretty low of Vivid. Not cool on their part.

If Jimi Hendrix was alive and cut a deal to share profits with Vivid, then I would have no problem with it - the facts are, he's dead, he didn't give his permission for the video to be commercially released, and his estate doesn't want it released.

Despite all this, Vivid is exploiting Jimi Hendrix for the sake of blind greed...
