Porn giant Vivid Entertainment offered the Jimi Hendrix family $100,000 back in May to prove that a controversial video depicting him in a sexual escapade with two women is not really him, and the company says the estate failed to do so.

Vivid said their offer expired after 60 days, and to date, the Hendrix family failed to offer verifiable proof that Hendrix is not the star of "Jimi Hendrix The Sex Tape."

"In early May we made a good faith offer through our attorneys to pay $100,000 to Experience Hendrix if it could offer proof within 60 days that our tape was not authentic," said Vivid co-chairman Steven Hirsch. "We always knew it was real and were confident that the Hendrix heirs would be unable to substantiate their claims."

The offer came after Experience Hendrix, the company owned by the legendary rocker's heirs, publicly denied the tape's authenticity.

However, individuals close to Hendrix during his heyday say otherwise.

"I'm positive that we are viewing the real Jimi Hendrix," said Neville Chesters, road manager for Hendrix in the late 60s.

"No one can pay me any amount of money to say I saw something I didn't see and judging from having casted Jimi I'm convinced that he is indeed the man seen in this film," said Cynthia (Plaster Caster) Albritton, one of the experts who authenticated the footage and, who once held Hendrix' penis in her hands while she made a plaster cast of it.

"Jimi Hendrix The Sex Tape" is currently in stores and available for download for $39.95. A trailer can be viewed at HendrixSexTape.com.

The acts that you have done in the past whether you be alive or not can come back to hunt you and your family. That's part of life, because people will do anything for money, anything and for fame, flashing light?!! What done in the dark always come to the light, it may be decades later but it's coming being dead or alive. You just gotta watch ya self.
