SALT LAKE CITY — Fashion model Kimora Lee Simmons just threw some serious shade at Lori Loughlin and all parents involved in the college admissions scandal.
Simmons shared an Instagram post to reveal that her daughter Aoki, who is only 16 years old, has been accepted to Harvard. Simmons’ post included a video of the two celebrating her acceptance.
"I’m still crying and beaming," Simmons said. "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."
And then she threw the shade: "Aoki can’t row or anything like that," Simmons continued, clearly making reference to the cheating scandal. "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."
