AceShowbiz - Aoki Lee Simmons, the 22-year-old daughter of Kimora Lee Simmons and Russell Simmons, has addressed her previous comments about leaving the modeling industry. In an Instagram update, she explained that she had experienced a difficult day at work, leading to her initial statement.

Simmons emphasized that she loves modeling but acknowledged the challenges of facing repeated rejection due to not being considered "pretty enough." However, she clarified that she is not quitting the industry entirely. "While I'm still here, I should do my best," Simmons said. "I hope I don't sound whiny."

Simmons also discussed the pressure of living up to her mother's iconic career as a fashion model. She expressed frustration with constantly being compared to Kimora, acknowledging that she will never be as good a model as her mother.

"It just feels like one big fat comparison all the time," Simmons said. "Like, 'Okay, you're not as good.' I get that. My mom is always going to be a way better model than me. But it's just annoying to have that comparison sometimes."

Despite the challenges, Simmons remains committed to finishing strong in the industry. She previously revealed that she's considering a career in government, using her Harvard degree in international relations to work towards a job in the foreign service.

Simmons' decision to continue modeling while exploring other career options reflects her determination to make her own mark and not be defined by her famous lineage.
