Leon Hendrix Responds to Lawsuit by Adopted Stepsister
Leon Hendrix, Jimi Hendrix’s brother and one of the owner’s of Electric Hendrix, LLC, the company responsible for Hendrix Electric Vodka, said he is “shocked and saddened” that his adopted stepsister Janie Hendrix is misleading the public by representing that the companies she runs are the “official” Hendrix family companies.
According to Leon Hendrix, the claims by Authentic Hendrix and Experience Hendrix, the companies run by Janie Hendrix, have already been rejected out of hand by U.S. District Court Judge Thomas Zilly of the Western District of Washington. On April 15, 2005, Judge Zilly issued in a nine page order ruling on the publicity rights held by Authentic Hendrix and Experience Hendrix. Leon Hendrix expects that Judge Zilly will once again reject the claims in Janie Hendrix’s lawsuit and is amused that use of the color purple is one of the grievances outlined therein.
In response to Janie Hendrix’s statement that Hendrix Electric Vodka is a “sick joke”, Leon Hendrix said, “The truly sick joke is Janie Hendrix misleading the public by representing her companies as the Hendrix family. Janie only met Jimi once when she was nine years old and she has no blood relation to Jimi or me. The fact is, there is only one person related to Jimi and me in her company while a large number of our blood relatives live in reduced circumstances and near squalor in the low income sections of Seattle.”
Jimi Hendrix overdosed in 1970 after ingesting sleeping pills. The companies run by Janie Hendrix have licensed a “Jimi Hendrix Red Wine” along with Jimi Hendrix signature boxer shorts, golf balls and incense, Jimi Hendrix diaper covers and air freshener, and even furniture with an image of Jimi Hendrix's face on the seat.
Adds Leon Hendrix, “The hypocrisy amazes me.”
