Alleged Jimi Hendrix sex tape to be released

LOS ANGELES — Vivid Entertainment is releasing a sex tape allegedly starring Jimi Hendrix.

The Los Angeles-based adult entertainment company said they obtained the sex tape from a memorabilia collector.

The 11 minutes of footage, reportedly shot in a hotel room about 40 years ago, features Hendrix — or someone who looks like him — engaged in various sexual acts with two women.

The company said they consulted with experts to authenticate the footage. But Charles Cross, the author of the Hendrix biography “Room Full of Mirrors,” has seen the film and doubts the man is Hendrix.
