Kimora Lee slammed for seeming judgmental of daughter Aoki after the 21-year-old was exposed for kissing a 65-year-old ‘toad’

Kimora Lee Simmons believes there may very well be more to the story about her younger daughter’s romantic getaway and it’s making headlines.

In early April, 21-year-old Aokie Lee was exposed by paparazzi who caught her kissing and kissing wealthy restaurateur Vittorio Assaf (65) while on a beach vacation on the secluded island of St. Barts.

The aspiring model shared several updates on Instagram where she alluded to spending time along with her “boyfriend.” Although the man’s voice was heard in her videos, she deliberately didn’t show his face.

That all modified when Page Six published photos of her posing in a bikini while Assaf took photos on his cellphone and kissed a famous businessman. A couple of days later, the young adult denied being in a relationship.

Amid backlash for allegedly dating a man 44 years her senior, Kimora shared a post showing an adult panda bear dragging a cub back to its habitat. She posted the caption, “They’re getting on my nerves,” leaving many individuals speculating that this was her unofficial statement on the matter.

A month later, a resident of St. Louis shared her knowledge about a short-term relationship.

When asked whether she knew about A.’s affair TMZ photographer, said: “I don’t think she has anything. I think it was just… she’s a young, pretty girl and you know, I don’t think we think toads we can kiss would be broadcast. And personally, I feel a little bit like she was framed, so I try to teach girls, right.”

She was then asked to share how Aoki might have been tricked into a controversial affair.

The Baby Phat founder explained, “Well, there’s definitely an age dynamic there and I just feel like… it was built up a little bit.” Moreover, Kimora admitted that the publicity about the mistake made her anxious. “I was probably a little embarrassed, but you know me, I definitely think it’s true, honey. Come on home, let’s go. Mom supports you.”

However, comments on social media criticized the veteran model for being a “role model” for Aoki to have romantic trysts with a much older suitor. Her ex-husband, Russell Simmons, notoriously met her during New York Fashion Week in 1992, when Kimora was 17 and he was 35. They began dating shortly thereafter, and married in 1998. Their first daughter, Ming, was born Lee. in 2000, and Aoki was welcomed two years later.

Critical Instagram user he wrote, “The apple doesn’t fall removed from the tree, hunnay! She was with Russ at a young age and he was a senior, am I right? Another person assured: “She wasn’t framed. She does what her mother did and what she talks about all the time. Get the bag any way you possibly can, girl, stop it. She’s just not the one we expected her to be. I assumed she was innocent.

The theory surrounding the alleged setup was clarified by one other one who suggested, “I believe she meant the setup where the paparazzi were there at a convenient location to catch him kissing? This old man will need to have called them to brag about his young girlfriend because no dad had ever followed him and even her before.

At least one fan congratulated Kimora for answering questions on her younger daughter’s private life in a way that was intended to thwart backlash against her actions. “Kimora will protect her children as much as she can, believe it!” read the comment.

Although her ex-husband publicly stated that he had spoken to the Harvard graduate before the kiss gate controversy made headlines, Kimora stated that Aoki’s access to money was not increased by the distressed celebrity. “Dad doesn’t exist,” she said. “I’m on an allowance and no, it hasn’t been increased.”

In recent years, there was an argument between the former couple, and the former music director accused his ex-wife of stealing money. Last 12 months, she and Aoki publicly slammed Russell for cutting off the girls financially and abusing them emotionally. He rejects their accusations.
