Fake!

If it’s too good to be true, then it probably isn’t. Right???

Jimi Hendrix’s estate is claiming that the Hendrix sex tape being released by porn kings Vivid Entertainment is a fake.

In a statement the estate says, “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.”

The peeps at Vivid say they consulted with several experts to authenticate the footage and stand by their claim that it’s the real deal. The head of Vivid has said the comments from Hendrix’s people were “not in any way a refutation of the authenticity.”

Hendrix met his end at the age of 27 by a drug overdose in 1970.

Seriously, when are we getting that Liberace sex tape????
