Kimora Lee Simmons 'Embarrassed' Daughter Aoki Hooked Up with Older Man

Kimora Lee Simmons says she felt a “little embarrassed” when she saw pics of her 21-year-old daughter kissing a 65-year-old … especially because she feels like Aoki got played.

We caught up with the fashion mogul Thursday in NYC, and asked her all about Aoki’s short-lived tryst with restaurateur, Vittorio Assaf — she doesn’t think it was ever a real relationship, and even referred to him as just a toad Aoki kissed.

KLS adds she feels her daughter was set up … and, while she doesn’t exactly come out and say what she means by that, she certainly implies the vast age difference screwed with her daughter’s head.

ICYMI … paparazzi snapped 21-year-old Aoki making out with Vittorio on a Caribbean beach — leading to public disgust and, ultimately, a quick ending to whatever relationship they had just days after the photos surfaced.

Her father, hip-hop icon Russell Simmons, weighed in on the drama at the time, but Kimora mostly kept her opinions to herself.

We also asked her about Diddy — her kids are close to his twins, Jessie and D’Lila — and, she says the girls attended her 49th birthday dinner recently.

As for the allegations against Diddy … check out the clip for yourself. Kimora’s not wading too far into that drama, if she can help it.
