""Not only is it 'over,' it was never a thing," an insider told People. "Aoki is learning to navigate her private life in a public sphere. And that can be difficult. However, Kimora was concerned to see her daughter in that kind of relationship due to what she herself went through. When Amanda asked Kimora what her "reaction" was to Aoki and Vittorio's romance, the mom of five replied, "I let my kids make their own mistakes..."
""First of all, I know this guy. But I didn't know this guy in that capacity like with my kid or that you were even dating my kid," she said. "I know this guy growing up myself. He's a restaurateur." Amanda then asked, "Were you like, 'What the helly are you doing to Aoki,' or no?" to which Kimora replied,"
""It went from 0 to 100 really quick, and I was like, 'Aoki, I didn't even know this was a thing.' I found out when the world found out. So that was what was so shocking. And you can't say as a mom - and I've learned all these crazy things - you can't give the 'I told you so' right now. You can't give the 'What the hell are you doing' right now.""
Aoki Lee Simmons, then 21, was briefly linked to 65-year-old restaurateur Vittorio Assaf after photos of them kissing circulated. A source said the pairing was a fleeting moment and not a relationship. Kimora Lee Simmons expressed concern given her own past experiences but emphasized allowing her children to make mistakes. Kimora said she learned about the situation only when it became public and found that shocking. She acknowledged knowing Assaf as a restaurateur but not in the context of dating her daughter, and she refrained from immediate admonishment amid the rapid public attention.
