Overview
- In a preview of the Not Skinny But Not Fat episode airing Dec. 9, Simmons discusses Aoki, then 21, spending time with restaurateur Vittorio Assaf, then 65.
- She characterizes extreme age gaps as “predatorial and kinda crazy” and says the situation “went from 0 to 100” too quickly for her to step in.
- Simmons notes she knew Assaf socially and remarked that his reputation “probably precedes him.”
- The pair met in St. Barths and the brief romance ended days after paparazzi photos went viral, with a family source later saying it was “never a thing.”
- Calling it “just a moment,” Simmons says she lets her children learn from mistakes as they navigate life in the public eye.
