Jimi Hendrix Girlfriend Shocked At Biopic Inaccuracies
. (Classic Rock) Jimi Hendrix's former girlfriend Kathy Etchingham has offered to produce her medical records and prove the "shocking" inaccuracies in biopic Jimi: All Is By My Side. She spoke up before the 2014 movie was released, saying that writer and director John Ridley hadn't consulted her, and that scenes that showed Hendrix being violent to her were works of fantasy. Hendrix biographer Charles R Cross last year condemned the production, saying: "I interviewed 325 people, from family members to friends. I never heard a story that's even close to that." Now Etchingham tells Rich Davenport: "The whole story is a fabrication. Even the things that did happen have not been produced accurately. John Ridley didn't consult me, so I don't know where he got it from. Apparently Jimi beat my head in with a telephone receiver and then beat me up in the street. They've got me taking an overdose of tablets and being in hospital. None of these things happened. "I was completely shocked. If somebody beat you up like that, the police would be involved. If you took an overdose a psychiatrist would be involved. With the National Health Service your medical records stay with you for life. I'd be quite happy to produce them - there'd be nothing in there." Read more here. Classic Rock Magazine is an official news provider for antiMusic.com.
