The Gucci family does not seem happy about their portrayal in the new Ridley Scott movie House of Gucci starring Adam Driver and Lady Gaga.
“The production of the film did not bother to consult the heirs before describing Aldo Gucci — president of the company for 30 years [played by Al Pacino in the film] — and the members of the Gucci family as thugs, ignorant and insensitive to the world around them,” their statement began.

The statement continues that the film represents “a tone and and an attitude to the protagonists of the well-known events that never belonged to them.”
“This is extremely painful from a human point of view and an insult to the legacy on which the brand is built today,” the statement continued.
The family then went on to address how Patrizia Reggiani (Gaga), who was convicted in 1998 of facilitating the murder of Maurizio Gucci (Driver), is portrayed. The family said 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.”
“This couldn’t be further from the truth,” they added, saying “there were several women who held top positions” during this timeframe of the movie. “Gucci is a family that lives honoring the work of its ancestors, whose memory does not deserve to be disturbed to stage a spectacle that is untrue and which does not do justice to its protagonists,” the statement concluded, adding 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.”
