Jimi Hendrix's brother and sister Leon and Janie are going at it like little children. The siblings are calling each other names and making it public.
Janie recently called Leon's 'Hendrix Electric Vodka' a sick joke and now Leon has responded with a statement claiming Janie is misleading the public.Leon suggests Janie hardly ever met her famous brother. "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."
Leon says Janie's companies have merchandised their dead brother to death. Under Janie's management, Jimi's name is now attached to red wine, boxer shorts, diapers and air freshener.
"The hypocrisy amazes me," Leon says.
The Hendrix family has been in dispute over the rights of publicity for the Jimi Hendrix name.
