Kimora Lee Simmons called her daughter Aoki Lee Simmons’ brief romance with much older Vittorio Assaf “predatorial.”

Simmons spoke candidly about the headline-making 2024 fling — during which Aoki was 21 while the restauranteur was 65 — and how “tough” it is to watch her daughter make public “mistakes.”

Kimora noted the two were not seriously dating and only shared “a moment” together during her appearance on the “Not Skinny But Not Fat” podcast dropping Tuesday, per People .

She also shared that she knew Assaf — who’s the founder of Serafina Restaurant Group — before he started dating Aoki, who’s now 23.

“I know this guy growing up myself. He’s a restauranteur,” she said. “I don’t know, I don’t want to get into troubles legally but I think his reputation probably precedes him.”
