Gucci family slams 'House of Gucci' movie: 'Anything but accurate'
Fox News
"House of Gucci," starring Lady Gaga, has been slammed by the famed Gucci family as being inaccurate.
"House of Gucci" goes beyond the headlines of the 1995 murder and subsequent trial. Based on a book by Sarah Gay Forden, it begins in the late 1970s and follows the relationship of Reggiani (Lady Gaga) and heir Maurizio Gucci (Adam Driver) from courtship and marriage to separation and his murder. The story paints Reggiani as a Lady Macbeth-type who helped Maurizio rise and take control of the company from his uncle Aldo Gucci (Al Pacino) and cousin Paolo Gucci (Jared Leto).
"The film’s production 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 who were ignorant and insensitive to the world around them, attributing entirely fabricated attitudes and conduct to the protagonists of the notorious events," the family’s statement said.
