Kimora Lee Simmons has admitted that she was 'embarrassed' by the photos of her daughter, 21, kissing a man 44 years her senior - and claimed Aoki was 'set up.' 

Last month, Aoki - who is the daughter of music mogul Russell Simmons and designer Kimora - was spotted smooching Serafina Restaurant Group founder Vittorio Assaf, 65, while on the beach in St. Barts.

Now, Kimora has spoken out about her daughter's controversial and short-lived romance - with reports emerging that they had split just days later - and said she was not pleased when she saw the pictures.

'I was a little bit embarrassed,' she told TMZ, when asked about Aoki's scandalous tryst.

Kimora also insisted that the relationship wasn't anything serious, and described Vittorio as a 'toad.'

She even theorized that Aoki had been 'set up,' explaining, 'She's a young pretty girl and we don't think that the toads that we kiss are gonna be broadcasted.

'I personally feel like she was set up, which is why I try to [warn] my girls. There's definitely an age dynamic there and I just feel like she was set up a little bit.'

In the end, however, Kimora insisted that she would support her daughter's decisions no matter what. 

'I was also like, "It is what it is honey, mama's got your back,"' she concluded.
