Kimora Lee Simmons shares how she felt about her 21-year-old daughter, Aoki, dating 65-year-old, Vittorio Assaf. 

She said to a TMZ reporter, “She’s a young, pretty girl and I think that we don’t think that the toads that we may kiss is gonna be broadcast.” Lee Simmons continued, “I personally feel a little bit like she was set. There’s definitely an age dynamic there.” 

Although she called Assaf a toad, she didn’t seem to be bothered by Aoki’s relationship. “I probably was a little embarrassed but you know me, I was definitely like, ‘It is what it is, honey. Come on home, let’s go. Mama’s got your back.’”

Last month, Aoki Lee Simmons was seen kissing Assaf while on vacation in St. Barts. A source close to the model said at the time, “Aoki and Vittorio are spending time together and enjoying each other’s company.” 

Soon after making headlines, Aoki revealed that her fling with Assaf was over. “Of course, I’m not with him. I was never with him,” she said in an interview.
