Donatella went on Instagram to share a screenshot of her explanation. “Let me be clear. The hotel and the restaurant named Donatella near our former family home in Miami will never have anything to do with me or my family,” she wrote. The famous designer continued: “To try to use our tragedy and my name for profit is shameful.”

It is not a new tension. The project, the Donatella Boutique Hotel & Restaurant, is launched by Nakash and Vida & Estilo Hospitality. The group bought the former Versace Mansion at the auction in 2013 and beat Donald Trump. Gianni was tragically shot on the front steps in 1997.

Now thousands of guests in Donatella’s old room have paid a lot of money to sleep.
