Boilerpipe Text	Adam Driver and Lady Gaga in "House of Gucci." MGM Nov 30, 2021, 12:23 PM GMT The Gucci family has released a statement slamming Ridley Scott's "House of Gucci." The statement criticizes the filmmakers for not consulting with the heirs of the fashion dynasty. The family says the film is an "insult to the legacy" of the fashion brand. The surviving family members of the Gucci fashion dynasty have described Ridley Scott's "House of Gucci" as inaccurate and insulting in a lengthy and scathing response to the film's release. In a statement issued on Monday, the heirs of Aldo Gucci – who was chairman of the fashion house from 1953 to 1986 and is portrayed by Al Pacino in Scott's film — said they were "disconcerted" by the film's inaccuracies as well as the lack of consultation with the filmmakers. "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," read the statement, first published by the Italian news agency ANSA. The statement continued to state that the film is "extremely painful from a human point of view" and an "insult to the legacy on which the brand is built today." Lady Gaga in "House of Gucci."
