Members of Aldo Gucci’s family served as chairman of the Gucci fashion house from 1953 to 1986. They have issued a statement stating they are “a little concerned” about their portrayal in Ridley Scott’s film ‘House of Gucci.’
The statement says, “the production of the film did not bother to consult the heirs before describing Aldo Gucci. He was the president of the company for 30 years and they have portrayed the members of the Gucci family as thugs. As well as ignorant and insensitive to the world around them. This is extremely painful from a human point of view. It is certainly an insult to the legacy on which the brand is built today,” it noted, according to variety.
There were several women who held top positions at Gucci
It says that the film gives the protagonists of well-known events “a tone and an attitude that they never deserved.” The statement criticizes how Milanese socialite Patrizia Reggiani, played by Lady Gaga in the film, was convicted in 1998 of assisting in the murder of Maurizio Gucci. Adam Driver plays Maurizio Gucci. ” It 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,” the statement goes on to say. Since, during the 70 years when the Gucci company was a family business, it was “an inclusive company,” it claims.
The portrayal of the film is that of the 80s. “There were several women who held top positions” at Gucci. Whether they were family members or not, including the president of Gucci America. The head of Global PR and communications. And a member of the Gucci America company’s board of directors, according to the statement. “Members of the Gucci family reserve the right to take action to protect the name, image, and dignity of themselves and their loved ones,” the statement continues.
