House of Versace Slams American Crime Story

Versace has issued a statement about the upcoming TV series about the death of its founder, Gianni Versace. In it, they say that American Crime Story Season 3, which is based on Vulgar Favors: The Assassination of Gianni Versace by Maureen Oath and stars Penelope Cruz as Donatella Versace, “should only be considered as a work of fiction”. “Gianni Versace was a brave and honest man,” reads the statement. “Of all the possible portrayals of his life and legacy, it is sad and reprehensible that the producers have chosen to present the distorted and bogus version created by Maureen Orth.”
