Kimora Lee Speaks on Aoki’s Past Romance + Joy Reid Checks Stephen A + Netflix–WB Deal Explained

Kimora Lee Simmons is finally speaking publicly about daughter Aoki’s former relationship with 65-year-old Serafina Restaurant Group founder Vittorio Assaf — calling the situation “predatorial and kind of crazy.” Though the relationship happened last year, Kimora is addressing it now as her new E! reality show rolls out, offering new insight into how she viewed everything behind the scenes. Plus, Joy Reid has entered the conversation around Stephen A Smith’s political commentary — adding context to the pushback he received after earlier exchanges with Cari Champion and criticism of Black women voters. Jill breaks down why this moment keeps resurfacing and what Joy’s critique really means. And it’s Wednesday, which means “All Up In The Business.” Entertainment attorney Nyanza Shaw joins Jill to dissect the potential Netflix–Warner Bros acquisition, the Skydance/Paramount effort to block it, and what this consolidation means for creators, contracts, and the future of Hollywood.
