AceShowbiz - Aoki Lee Simmons has addressed concerns about her mental health and announced her decision to step back from the fashion industry temporarily. During a recent livestream, Simmons discussed theories surrounding her mental state. She explained that her mother had expressed concern that she may seem manic in her posts but stated that she is not to her knowledge and does not have bipolar disorder.

Simmons previously spoke about her struggles with ADHD and the challenges she has faced in the modeling world. After walking in several runway shows, including New York Fashion Week and Milan Fashion Week, Simmons revealed that the industry had taken a toll on her mental health. She said that she has been subjected to interpersonal cruelty and has made decisions she regrets.

"I will not be going back to any kind of fashion week unless I'm mentally prepared for it and feel loved and supported," Simmons wrote on Instagram Stories. "The last one ruined my mental health."

Simmons detailed her struggles with disordered eating and said that she has gained 30 pounds since her last fashion show appearance. She emphasized the importance of prioritizing her well-being and setting boundaries to preserve it.

Simmons also addressed rumors about her relationship with a restaurateur significantly older than her, which she and her mother have denied. She stated that she is rebuilding her mental health and is not ready to reveal all the details of what she went through in the industry.
