LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Aoki Lee Simmons, the daughter of Russell Simmons, has responded fiercely to an Instagram troll who claimed that she used her connections to get into Harvard.

In May 2023, Aoki, 21 — the eldest child of Kimora Lee Simmons, 48, and Russell, 66 — has earned a Bachelor of Arts and Classics degree with a double major.

Recently, Aoki received trolling in the comments area of her pinned Instagram photo.

The post included the model's stunning photo shoot from the 2023 Teen Vogue edition, where she was seen posing on a grassy field.

One of the many insults from the same commenter was, "Everyone knows Harvard is accepting her because of her parents." Another stated, "She went to Harvard solely because her name."

Screengrabbing the series of comments, Aoki captioned them on her Instagram Stories with the words "Get a job weirdo," per The Sun.

Aoki Lee Simmons is 'beauty and brains'

Aoki -- who made headlines recently as she was romantically linked to 65-year-old restaurateur Vittorio Assaf -- studied at Harvard, earning a double degree at the age of 20, which means she was a freshman at age 16.

Photos of her standing with her diploma, serving cap and gown realism, and her curly hair flourishing at graduation were shared by Redditors.

One Reddit user commented, "Beauty and brains. Love to see it!"

A second one gushed, "Good for her getting it done but I will never understand parents who let their kids go to college so early. Being at college at 16 cant be much fun."

A third one added, "Incredible accomplishment!", while another one exclaimed, "Wow she’s gorgeous. proof people can be smart and pretty"

"She favors Kimora a lot. The second pic of them is so precious. 🥹 I’m interested to see what Aoki does in the future," another one added.

Aoki was romantically linked to restaurateur Vittorio Assaf but reportedly have split

Earlier in April, Aoki Lee Simmons was seen in St Barts kissing Vittorio Assaf, 65, the founder of Serafina Restaurant Group.

During an exquisite vacation, Russell's youngest daughter repeatedly referred to Vittorio as her "boyfriend" on Instagram Live, causing outrage due to their 44-year age gap.

Aoki even gave followers a tour of his St Barts property and disclosed that Vittorio is the "second boyfriend" she has ever had.

Kimora and Russell's youngest daughter was seen engaging in PDA at the beach with the much older Serafina co-founder in images exclusively obtained by Page Six.

However, their romance was short-lived as Aoki and Vittorio reportedly broke up - only days after their PDA-filled getaway—with sources claiming "It’s 100% done. They’re absolutely not dating," per Page Six.

"Aoki and Vittorio are no longer seeing each other," a source revealed. "Their relationship is done, and it was barely anything to begin with."

Another source confirmed to Us Weekly, "It’s over. It was never a thing from the beginning. It was barely anything."

Additionally, another source added that it "was never a thing. Aoki is learning to navigate her private life in a public sphere. And that can be difficult."

"However, Kimora was concerned to see her daughter in that kind of relationship due to what she herself went through."
