Kimora Lee Simmons is finally addressing her daughter Aoki Lee Simmons’ PDA pictures with Vittorio Assaf.
The Baby Phat designer, 49, admitted to TMZ Friday that she was “a little bit embarrassed” when her 21-year-old’s St. Bart’s vacation went viral.
However, she reacted by telling her and Russell Simmons’ child that “it is what is is” and she should “come on home” — without the 65-year-old restaurateur she smooched.

Kimora added, “She’s a young pretty girl. I think we don’t think the toads that we may kiss are going to be broadcast as a thing.”
The interview marked the first time Kimora has broken her silence on the scandal since we published exclusive photos of Aoki’s loved-up getaway in April.
The businesswoman sidestepped headlines at the time, making no mention of the tropical trip while celebrating Aoki’s modeling accomplishments via Instagram.
“Stunning and beautiful!
