UPDATE 12:47 P.M. EST: Kimora responded to our article on Instagram, firmly stating that, despite her joke, she is “not excited by [Loughlin’s] downfall.” Read her comment (below):
The fashion mogul also added that she’s never donated any buildings to Harvard, writing:
Ok, gurl. We see you… and your brilliant daughter!
Kimora Lee Simmons wants y’all to know her daughter got accepted to Harvard WITHOUT the help of bribery or Adobe photoshop.
The ex-wife of Russell Simmons took to social media to share a video of their daughter Aoki Lee Simmons reading her acceptance letter into the Ivy League school, which included some not-so-subtle shots from the proud momma at Lori Loughlin and all the parents involved in the massive college bribery scandal.

The 16-year-old received the good news on Thursday afternoon while surrounded by her mother, brother, and stepfather, who were all literally screaming with joy. The teen said on Instagram:
“I’m only 16 and I’m going to Harvard baby! Insert emotional crying face.”
Making it clear that Aoki got into the prestigious university of her own accord, her fashion designer mom joked:
“Thank god you got in your own honey cause you can’t row.”
LOLz!
The jab was a clear reference to the recent college admissions scandal involving over 50 parents. As we reported, Loughlin and her husband, fashion designer Mossimo Giannulli, are facing criminal charges for allegedly paying $500,000 to have their two daughters, Olivia Jade and Isabella Rose, designated as recruits for the USC crew team, despite the fact that they never played the sport.

Loughlin’s daughters were reportedly (badly) staged in pictures to make it look like they had rowed crew. Olivia and Isabella have since withdrawn from USC and are facing being permanently banned from the campus for life.
Aoki, meanwhile, has been accepted to Harvard on her “own merit,” as her mom later added on the teen’s Instagram Story. Kimora gushed:
“I’m so glad you did this on your own merit. You are super smart and you can do anything and everything you set your mind to.”
Awww! See how proud the mother-of-four is in the video (below).
The 43-year-old later bragged about the news on her own Instagram page, writing in the caption:
“Yaaayyyyy @aokileesimmons!! She’s on her way to #Harvard!! We are sooo super proud of YOU!! Such hard work and only 16! You did it! It took years of super dedication and lots of tears! But HERE YOU ARE!!! GO GIRL!!! Enjoy the journey! We are excited to see the great things you will do! Sorry I’m one of those SUPERLOUD MAMAS! She also got into Dartmouth, Vassar, Barnard etc! Woooo! #BeautyAndBrains!??❤️????”
Smart girl!
Another proud parent who recently shaded Loughlin was Dr. Dre, who shared his daughter’s USC acceptance letter on Instagram, writing in a since deleted post:
“My daughter got accepted into USC all on her own. No jail time!!!”
Ha! Except he donated $70 million years prior.
Congrats to all the students who have been accepted into schools the right way!
