In the piece Ford praised Gaga for her role in the film noting that she is the “true star” of it.
“It is her film, and she steals the show. In her often over-the-top portrayal of Patrizia Gucci, her accent migrates occasionally from Milan to Moscow. But who cares? Her performance is spot-on,” he wrote.
However, members of the Gucci family have issued a statement on how Gaga’s character is portrayed in the film “as a victim trying to survive in a male and male chauvinist corporate culture.”
“This couldn’t be further from the truth,” the statement said, whichVarietyobtained and reported. The statement claimed that the business was “an inclusive company” that had “several women who held top positions.”
“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,” the statement said according toVariety. “Gucci is a family that lives honoring the work of its ancestors, whose memory does not deserve to be disturbed to stage a spectacle that is untrue and which does not do justice to its protagonists.”
Varietyreported that the statement concluded, “the members of the Gucci family reserve the right to take action to protect the name, image and dignity of themselves and their loved ones.”
