The Gucci family has threatened the producers of ‘House of Gucci’ with legal action over what they describe as the ‘insulting portrayal of the family’ in the film.
According to reports, the heirs of Aldo Gucci alleged that the producers of the newly released film did not consult them before portraying members of the family as “thugs, ignorant and insensitive to the world around them.
Directed by Riley Scott, the murder drama follows the story of Italian socialite Patrizia Reggiani who spent 16 years in prison for plotting the murder of her ex-husband Maurizio Gucci, one-time head of the iconic fashion company. The film stars Lady Gaga, Adam Driver, Jared Leto, Al Pacino and Salma Hayek.
