Kimora And Russell Simmons’ Daughter Accepted Into Harvard At Age 16

Kimora Lee Simmons and her ex-husband, Russell Simmons, took a dig at the ongoing college admissions scandal as their daughter Aoki Lee Simmons was accepted into Harvard on Thursday.

The fashion designer shared her joy on Instagram, praising her daughter for working hard and getting into the Ivy League institution without help.

“She’s on her way to #Harvard!! We are sooo super proud of YOU!! Such hard work and only 16,” Kimora added. “You did it! It took years of super dedication and lots of tears! But HERE YOU ARE!!! GO GIRL!!! Enjoy the journey! We are excited to see the great things you will do! Sorry I’m one of those SUPERLOUD MAMAS! She also got into Dartmouth, Vassar, Barnard etc!”

Aoki Lee, whose father is Russell Simmons, posted a similar video of her acceptance news.

In the video, Aoki’s stepfather, Tim Leissner, is standing next to her.

She also quoted her mother saying she told her, “Thank god you got in on your own honey cause you can’t row.”

Russell also had a few choice words, adding, “So blessed @aokileesimmons made it into HARVARD and Kimora Myself or Tim didn’t have to pull any strings or pay anyone to get her in she made it on her own academic merit.”

Just last year, Kimora graduated from the University of Hartford with a business degree.

Aoki will join Harvard’s Class of 2023.
