Lady Gaga and her new movie, House Of Gucci, is collecting backlash from the iconic Italian fashion family, who expressed their disapproval over the portrayal of characters in the film.
The Gucci family issued a statement after the release of Ridley Scott's movie saying, "the film carries a narrative that is far from accurate."
The family members of the fashion brand claimed, "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, attributing to the protagonists, events, a tone and an attitude that never belonged to them."
Moreover, the Gucci heirs also described the film as "extremely painful from a human point of view and an insult to the legacy on which the brand is built today."
They slammed Patrizia Reggiani, the Milanese socialite played by Gaga who was convicted of assisting in the murder of her husband Maurizio Gucci. The family claims she "is painted not only in the film but also in the statements made by cast members, as a victim who was trying to survive in a masculine and macho corporate culture."
In 1985, Gucci reportedly ended his 12 years of marriage to Reggiani through a friend who acted as a messenger and told her Gucci would not be returning home from
