In case you’re wondering how the Gucci family feels about Lady Gaga and Adam Driver’s new movie House of Gucci, the answer is...not great! Like, pretty sure this is them right now:
And also this, to be quite honest:
Anyway, yeah, the heirs of Aldo Gucci [who is played by Al Pacino in the movie] went ahead and issued a joint statement slamming the film, which was published by Variety.
“The production of the film did not bother to consult the heirs before describing Aldo Gucci—president of the company for 30 years—and the members of the Gucci family as thugs, ignorant and insensitive to the world around them,” the statement reads, going on to claim that the movie attributes “a tone and and an attitude to the protagonists of the well-known events that never belonged to them” and that “this is extremely painful from a human point of view and an insult to the legacy on which the brand is built today.”
The Gucci family also doesn’t seem pleased with the portrayal of Patrizia Reggiani (who went to prison for hiring a hit man to murder her ex-husband Maurizio Gucci), saying she “is portrayed not just in the film, but also in statements from cast members, as a victim trying to survive in a male and male chauvinist corporate culture” and that “this couldn’t be further from the truth.”
Oh, and the statement also claims that “the members of the Gucci family reserve the right to take action to protect the name, image and dignity of themselves and their loved ones,” though Variety reports that “no legal action is being taken at this time.”
