Kimora Lee Simmons’ daughter is going to Harvard!
16-year-old Aoki Lee’s reaction to finding out the exciting news was shared on Instagram by mom Kimora.
via People:
“Yaaaayyyyy @aokileesimmons!! She’s on her way to #Harvard!! We are so proud of YOU!! Such hard work and only 16! You did it! It took years of super dedication and lots of tears! But HERE YOU ARE!!! GO GIRL!!!” Kimora captioned the clip, which shows Aoki flashing a wide smile as she takes in the news.
“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! Woooo! ????????,” Kimora added.
Kimora also shared a video from the moment Aoki learned the news on her Instagram Stories.
“She got into Harvard,” Kimora says excitedly in the first clip.
“I’m still crying and beaming,” Kimora says in another video before turning the camera to show Aoki, who can be seen jumping for joy. “You don’t understand this has been a ride for me. I’m two out of two kids in college. I have two boys left, I don’t know if I can do it… Quite honestly she really did it on her own merit and we’re so really proud.”
“Yoki can’t row or anything like that. There was really no hope for us in that area. I’m just so proud that you did it on your own… Praise the Lord,” Kimora says in the video, taking a jab at the recent college admissions scandal allegedly involving Lori Loughlin and Felicity Huffman.
Loughlin specifically is accused of paying $500,000 to an admissions fixer to say Olivia and her sister Isabella were part of the rowing team when that was not true — which was what Kimora was alluding to.
Now THAT is an accomplishment. Congrats Aoki!
