Gucci heirs slam new film

The Gucci family is not pleased with the new film “House of Gucci.” In a statement issued this week, they say the narrative is “anything but accurate” and that the filmmakers did not consult them.

The Guccis, who have no association anymore with the global luxury brand bearing their name, are taking issue with the idea that Patrizia Reggiani, who was imprisoned for hiring a hitman to kill Maurizio Gucci, is depicted as a victim in a male-dominated company and that the family were described as “thugs who were ignorant and insensitive to the world around them.”

They also reserve the right to “take any action necessary to protect the name, image and dignity of themselves and their loved ones.”
