Aoki Lee Simmons Steps Away from Modeling Due to Industry Pressures

The 22-year-old cites constant comparisons to her mother, Kimora Lee Simmons, and harsh industry standards as reasons for her departure.

Aoki Lee Simmons, daughter of Kimora Lee and Russell Simmons, announced her plans to leave the modeling industry.
She expressed frustration over being repeatedly told she isn't 'pretty enough' and facing constant comparisons to her mother.
Aoki, a Harvard graduate, aims to transition into a career in government and is preparing to take the foreign service test.
Despite her decision to quit modeling, Aoki intends to 'finish strong' in her current projects, though she will not participate in the upcoming Victoria's Secret Fashion Show.
Earlier this year, Aoki made headlines for a brief relationship with restaurateur Vittorio Assaf, which ended shortly after it began.
