00:00Hi, it's me, Camoralee Simmons.
00:07Did you miss me?
00:08We're back!
00:09I brought all the kids and everything!
00:11Mom!
00:11Mom, stop!
00:12It's been almost 15 years since you last saw me and my family.
00:16It's like the Brady Bunch, but with no husband.
00:18My life is absolutely crazy.
00:20Oh!
00:20I don't want to do this!
00:22Okay, so Wolfie just turned 10.
00:24You're savage.
00:25Yoki's in Bali.
00:27She's been there for six months.
00:28Did you know when she was going to come back?
00:30No, I don't.
00:31Ming is in Coachella partying all night.
00:34We have a photo shoot on Monday.
00:35We're drinking, like, shots of tequila.
00:37Don't you dare.
00:38Show up, hungover.
00:39That's it.
00:41We are back in the family.
00:43Oh, girl!
00:46I'm about to touch down.
00:49Do you feel ready?
00:51I want to feel the ground shake.
00:53I want to be your earthquake.
00:54Oh, I've been talking about you.
00:56What are you doing?
00:57Oh, they're coming up!
00:58Wait, why?
01:01Are you-
01:02You guys do not need to be in the car having all this kind of laughter and fun.
01:06This is why they don't let kids drive.
01:08You guys need to slow down.
01:09Who's driving?
01:10We're going 40 miles an hour.
01:12Oh.
01:12Y'all stay up, though.
01:13Y'all stay up, though.
01:14Okay, you stay up, too.
01:15Oh.
01:16Stay up?
01:16All right, so-
01:17Stay down?
01:17Trim.
01:18What?
01:18No-
01:18Trim.
01:20Tell him he's trim.
01:21You're trim.
01:22You're trim.
01:22You really been spitting.
01:24You just saying thing.
01:25You just saying.
01:26What the heck is trim?
01:27What is trim?
01:28What's trim?
01:29Let me see if I can call Jayden.
01:33Your call has been for-
01:35Jayden!
01:35The person you're trying-
01:36Okay, hold on, hold on.
01:38Gary, I feel like, will answer.
01:39Oh, my gosh!
01:44We don't know.
01:45I'm going to have to guess.
01:46Trim must be, like, I don't know, cool.
01:49Like, fit.
01:50Fit and trim.
01:51Boy, my.
01:52Oh!
01:53Oh!
01:55Every phone bill I'm paying is getting cut tonight.
01:57Good day, Mom.
02:08No, what?
02:09Why are you walking in here like the three musketeers?
02:11I'm their lawyer.
02:12I feel like there's a conversation that needs to be had.
02:15I'm getting tingled.
02:16A little sweat tingle.
02:17Here, right here.
02:18That means y'all are up to some bull-
02:19If I see three kids walking in together, yeah, it's a setup.
02:23It's a forest.
02:24Something has crashed.
02:25Something is broken.
02:26Someone is bleeding.
02:27We're getting straight to business.
02:29Okay, what's the business?
02:31Wait, hold on.
02:32So, since you last saw me, it's like I went from a girl-mom household to a boy-mom household.
02:38And Kenzo's, like, the leader of the pack.
02:41He was born on the show.
02:43Congratulations.
02:44Congratulations.
02:45Congratulations, gentlemen.
02:46And here he is now, 15.
02:49Seven feet tall.
02:51Kenzo's the diplomatic one.
02:52So, like, I think everybody goes to him.
02:55He has a little way about him, huh?
02:58Casanova.
02:58I think it's time that you take us, you know, to get our tattoos.
03:02Indeed.
03:03It's time to get tatted.
03:04I think so, too.
03:05Gary, you never have nothing to say.
03:07I know you feel that in your chest.
03:08I have something to say right now, man.
03:10We call Gary the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air because I adopted Gary from Jamaica when he was eight.
03:16Gary's, like, very serious.
03:17And you can, like, kind of see what he's thinking on his face.
03:19He is definitely, like, the strong, silent type.
03:24It's like our little Sweet Sixteen type thing, you know?
03:26Responsible young men.
03:27Sweet Sixteen, like...
03:27Look at these responsible young men you have around you.
03:30Jayden, you don't even have a tattoo.
03:32But that's why we're here.
03:33Right.
03:34Jayden is, like, my bonus son.
03:37Kenzo and Gary went to school with Jayden when they were younger.
03:41There wasn't a lot of kids of color there.
03:43And the boys gravitated towards one another.
03:46And he's never left us.
03:48Jayden lives at the house with us, goes on vacations with us.
03:51He's, like, another one of my kids.
03:53He's the older one.
03:54He's already graduated.
03:55He can drive.
03:56So the other kids love that.
03:57Nobody's getting any tattoos.
03:59More of life.
04:00What if you get ink poisoning?
04:01What if you have a reaction?
04:02What if you have some kind of systemic inflammation from the ink?
04:06You think you're grown all of a sudden?
04:07The truth of the matter is they're babies to me.
04:10Their little skin is so cute and just so chocolatey.
04:13You don't need it.
04:14Maybe we'll start with earrings.
04:15How about that?
04:16How you feel about that?
04:17Earrings.
04:17Earrings?
04:18Yeah, piercings.
04:18I'm not going to get one earring.
04:20Piercings?
04:21What are you piercing?
04:22What else are we piercing?
04:23You might want to pierce your nipple.
04:24I don't know.
04:24Oh.
04:26We don't know what you guys are asking.
04:27Nobody's doing.
04:28Just the ears.
04:29When I was younger, if you were a guy and you had two earrings,
04:31they say that you batted for the other team.
04:33We don't know the teams.
04:34We don't know what the boys are doing.
04:35We don't know.
04:36No, we know the teams.
04:37We know the teams.
04:38No, we don't know the teams.
04:41You never really know the teams.
04:43You guys are asking for a lot.
04:44I don't know about this.
04:45We're older, you know, we're about to be 16.
04:47You don't have to do everything at once.
04:49You guys can take your time.
04:50You don't have to rush.
04:51Part of being a parent is letting you all know that I have done things,
04:55maybe that nowadays I wish I could undo.
04:58Sometimes in life, you have to let young men make their own mistakes for themselves
05:02and learn on their own.
05:05It's sad for me.
05:06I think it probably means that you're growing up.
05:08You always want your kids to make their way in the world.
05:11But we've been through so much together.
05:13It's been just us for so long.
05:15It's just kind of bittersweet.
05:17It's a big step.
05:18Okay, but it's still a step.
05:19Okay, I want to think about it.
05:20I still don't think you need to move so fast.
05:22Coachella is a three-day festival in the desert where we go to parties.
05:36We go to listen to music and be with friends.
05:40And there's illicit things.
05:42I go to Coachella to have fun.
05:52She didn't get home until the time for the shoot.
05:55What in the heck?
05:56Never have I ever.
05:58Where am I going?
05:58You're in my seat.
05:59No, girl, don't play with me.
06:01Mom, just sit here.
06:02Ming and I are shooting People Magazine's Most Beautiful People Edition.
06:06Ming came home from Coachella when the sun was coming up.
06:10And by then, it was time to get in the car.
06:12So she's just kind of honk over, over honk.
06:16Please don't talk to me.
06:17Having a photo shoot on the Monday after Coachella is a problem
06:20because nobody comes home from Coachella until, like, Monday afternoon.
06:25I would normally still be incapacitated.
06:28What are these bands on your arm?
06:29I said I need scissors and no one gave me any scissors.
06:31I'm sure you had drinks at all those wristband places.
06:34Um...
06:34That's crazy.
06:35I don't drink.
06:36I don't do all those drugs.
06:38No, ma'am.
06:39I'm high on life.
06:40I always tell Mingy I want her to be careful.
06:42We should keep the, um, alcohol and the substances, if there are any.
06:48To a minimum.
06:49Why are you guys laughing?
06:50We have substances from Amsterdam.
06:51Oh.
06:52Ming!
06:53But she's an adult.
06:55We're adulting.
06:57Mom, get your cup.
06:58Who are you talking to like that?
07:00I don't want to have to fight her on camera.
07:02I could do it.
07:02Mom, can you get me these sunglasses in brown?
07:04No.
07:05You shop too much and you party too much, get your butt in there.
07:08I'm going to order them.
07:09No, you will not order them, Mingy.
07:10You are way over your budget of bulls**t.
07:13You go in there and you do a nice job and we'll discuss you getting some glasses, ma'am.
07:17Oh, my God.
07:17Yes, ma'am.
07:19Coming up.
07:20You can do it.
07:21You can do it.
07:21Yeah, close your eyes.
07:22No, ma'am.
07:23My clothes and the eyes and just swallowing it days are over.
07:27That was a little spicy.
07:29Here she is doing hair and makeup, getting her IV drip.
07:31I don't even get an IV, but I bet I paid that bill.
07:39Hi.
07:39Thanks for having us.
07:40People, thank you for having us.
07:42Hi.
07:42That's Janine who's going to be doing the interview today.
07:44I'm going to be seeing with people.
07:45How are you?
07:45Nice to you.
07:46I'll be doing the interview.
07:47I'll elbow you.
07:47Nice to see you.
07:47I feel like you guys are fresh out the desert yet.
07:49No, ma'am.
07:50I wanted to say I apologize for being late, but it wasn't me.
07:53It wasn't me.
07:55People Magazine approached me to be a part of the most beautiful people issue with Mingy.
08:01I wish I could have done it with Aoki too, but she's in Bali.
08:05And blam and everything's going to be back here.
08:07Yep.
08:07Okay, perfect.
08:09I really, really want a cheeseburger.
08:11I have looked at People Magazine since I was little.
08:13To be going to a shoot for People Magazine's most beautiful people of the world, I'm showing
08:18up.
08:18I'm going to be there.
08:19I'm on time.
08:20I'm doing what I have to do.
08:21Little Miss Drunky Boat.
08:22She doesn't know people.
08:23What does she know from people?
08:24She says, we're all people.
08:25We're all here.
08:26This generation, they know YouTube.
08:28Okay, it's 321.
08:34I'm almost done.
08:40You guys, it is 3.30.
08:43It's enough with the time.
08:44We're obviously working as fast as we can.
08:46No, no, you'll have to leave at four o'clock.
08:48You have to get up out of that chair.
08:49So do what you need to do.
08:50I'm closer to being done than you are, I'm pretty sure.
08:52I'm going to get up and go at four o'clock.
08:53I'm going to be on set.
08:54I come from the days of the super.
08:57Super, super models.
08:59I won't say any names, but I've seen them rule up in any kind of a condition.
09:03That's fine.
09:03You deserve that.
09:04Ming is a younger model.
09:06You have to be professional.
09:08That was a little spicy.
09:09Here she is doing hair and makeup, getting her IV drip.
09:12I don't even get an IV, but I bet I paid that bill.
09:14Okay, let's go.
09:15342.
09:16Mom.
09:17It's so important for me to drill professionalism into my daughters because it's one of the
09:22things that will get you far.
09:24You're stressing me out.
09:25Ming, come on.
09:26It's one picture.
09:26Get the hell up out of your chair.
09:29Let's go.
09:30You know what?
09:30No.
09:30I won't be bullied this way.
09:31I want to look pretty for my picture.
09:33Ming, then you should have got your ass out of control.
09:34You're not even done either.
09:35Those are like, what are you talking about?
09:36But I'm going to be done and you're not.
09:40Little breath.
09:44Okay, let's go.
09:45We're on set.
09:46Come on, on this side.
09:48Let's go.
09:48I'm coming out right now.
09:50Shut up.
09:50She's in IV.
09:51This is a hot mess.
09:54Right now, my kids are driving me crazy.
09:57Ming, he's grown, but she got an IV on set.
10:00And then the boys want tattoos and earrings.
10:03Yoki's literally chasing waterfalls.
10:05And then you have Wolfie.
10:06What do you need?
10:06I'm having grapes and crabs.
10:09No, you need, like, veggies.
10:10My kids, they're growing up.
10:12Sometimes, as a mom, you have to just, like, let go.
10:15It's hard for me.
10:16Okay, let's go.
10:18How are we looking?
10:25Ming!
10:26Oh, my goodness.
10:28Did you make this tight at the bottom?
10:30I don't recall it being this tight.
10:32I made it tighter the whole thing.
10:34Oh, even though she drives me absolutely crazy,
10:36I can't be mad at Ming.
10:38I like your shoes.
10:39Did you give these to me?
10:40Today, Ming is wearing something I had worn.
10:43It's Dolce & Gabbana.
10:44It's a very classic piece I've had literally since I was 20.
10:48And I'm wearing something she had worn.
10:50It's definitely not my mom's style at all.
10:51She likes to wear something sparkly and loud.
10:54But I wear a black long-sleeved dress everywhere.
10:56That's great.
10:57Mingy's been wearing my clothes since she was little.
11:00Can you guys walk in high heels?
11:01Very good, Ming.
11:03I'm so proud of you.
11:04But now she's, like, breathtaking.
11:06That's nice.
11:07Sorry the camera's so quiet.
11:09Yeah, we don't know.
11:10Can you make the noise, like, verbally?
11:13My mom is definitely a momager.
11:20I value her advice and opinion a lot.
11:23She has a lot of knowledge.
11:24She's very wise.
11:25And she's been here before.
11:26Perfect.
11:27Stunning.
11:28Athena the J.
11:29I think she just wants to be professional.
11:31Because adults have things to do, I guess.
11:34You have to do stuff.
11:35That's not always fun.
11:38Look at this.
11:39Look what you came on set with track marks.
11:41Vinga.
11:41I'll do it.
11:54I'll do it.
11:55Let's go!
11:59Hi.
12:00Hi.
12:01Do you know why I'm calling you?
12:02Um, I can guess.
12:04Okay, why?
12:04Varsity jackets.
12:05I saw another company online that makes varsity jackets and they're cropped.
12:10Hello, did you hang up on me?
12:13Not yet.
12:15Oh, it's a company that makes it.
12:17I don't know who.
12:18And so you can call them, okay?
12:20Yeah.
12:21Hi.
12:26I didn't hit the gate today.
12:27Oh my God.
12:28Did somebody's car get hit?
12:30People should be parking for gates open out.
12:32What the heck?
12:33How was this my fault?
12:36How was I supposed to know?
12:38Oh my God.
12:40Sorry.
12:43Oh my God.
12:46You're gonna lose a hand.
12:51Okay, try now.
12:52This was not my fault.
12:54It is your fault. You can't drive.
12:56Never a dull moment.
13:04What is that?
13:05That's the fondue.
13:06Oh, okay.
13:07You've got your spices in that here.
13:08Okay.
13:09All right.
13:10Some chopsticks.
13:11Excuse me.
13:12I need you to pray before you eat the food.
13:24Amen?
13:25Okay.
13:26Wanda is my best friend.
13:27She's my children's godmother, and we've been friends for decades.
13:32I don't know exactly how we've been.
13:34I feel like we were like conjoined twins that were separated at birth.
13:38So before I had kids, or before I had dogs, and before I had dog ass , I had Wanda.
13:44Okay.
13:45So we've got some oysters.
13:46Okay.
13:47Okay.
13:48Let me make room.
13:49That's good.
13:51Mm-hmm.
13:52When my kids were little, when Wanda would come over to visit them, my kids would like hide her keys.
13:56So she couldn't go home.
13:57After COVID, she moved into my house, because we've never gotten to have Wanda as much as we liked.
14:03And now, it's giving a Golden Girls kind of vibe.
14:07They say that's an aphrodisia.
14:09It is.
14:10Mm-hmm.
14:13How would you describe your sex life these days?
14:16You can do it.
14:17You can do it.
14:18Just close your eyes.
14:19I won't.
14:20Just close your eyes.
14:21Wide open.
14:22No, ma'am.
14:23This is where you should put the crickets.
14:25That's where you should do that.
14:26You gotta close your eyes.
14:27No, ma'am.
14:28My closing the eyes and just swallowing it days are over.
14:34So the boys came to me to have a talk.
14:37Okay.
14:38Did you say they could have a tattoo?
14:40No, they shouldn't have a tattoo.
14:41I agree.
14:42Yeah.
14:43Eventually, I had to say no.
14:44Just say no flat out.
14:45Okay.
14:46And then they shifted the conversation to a double piercing.
14:50I'm glad that you be having a conversation with you.
14:53That's the most important thing.
14:54These teenagers, they be doing their own thing.
14:56They got their own agenda.
14:57They're having a conversation because they're broke.
14:59Well, that's another thing.
15:00How about just no?
15:01Well, no is not going to be the answer, friend.
15:02We're in that age.
15:03We're trying new things.
15:04We're trying our moms.
15:05As a single mom, I'm the good cop and the bad cop.
15:06It's a little fear that you instill in them so that they don't what?
15:08They don't cross you.
15:09You take them.
15:10That's the only way.
15:11Okay, I'll go along with it.
15:12Okay.
15:13I'll take them.
15:14All right.
15:15It feels like watching them grow up so fast.
15:16It's so sad.
15:17Not sad.
15:18It's good, but like sad.
15:19Yeah.
15:20Like back in the day, parenting was so easy because the kids were younger.
15:23Things have changed.
15:24Come on.
15:25If you want tattoos and tattoos and tattoos, you know what?
15:28You're trying our mom.
15:29We're trying our mom.
15:30We're trying our mom.
15:31As a single mom, I'm the good cop and the bad cop.
15:33It's a little fear that you instill in them so that they don't what?
15:34They don't cross you.
15:35You take them.
15:36That's the only way.
15:37Come on.
15:38If you want tattoos and earrings, you are not so innocent.
15:41And so this is like the beginning of their not so innocent stage.
15:44It's not easy.
15:46So I'm grateful to have Wanda's support.
15:49Girlfriends.
15:50Eight, yeah.
15:51That's coming up next.
15:52I'm sorry.
15:53It already came up.
15:54Oh my goodness.
15:59Next thing.
16:00Driving license.
16:02I'm sorry.
16:03It's happening.
16:04Wanda.
16:05Coming up.
16:06I don't like needles.
16:07That's a thing.
16:08You guys, I can't take it.
16:09Why aren't you answering the phone?
16:10I love you, Mom.
16:11Oh my God.
16:12Wait.
16:13Aoki Lee, exclamation point.
16:14Don't hang up on your mom that fast, exclamation point.
16:19It's like another world.
16:31Where is Aoki?
16:32As a mother, as a parent, I'm growing a lot.
16:34I give my kids freedom.
16:36I think I'm more relaxed parenting.
16:38But when it comes to Aoki, she's halfway around the world.
16:42She's in Indonesia.
16:43So I just need to know she's safe and she's okay.
16:46She's an adult.
16:47She's grown.
16:48She can do what the hell she wants.
16:49Just call your mother.
16:50Hi, Mom.
16:52Oh my gosh.
16:53Why aren't you answering the phone?
16:55I'm so sorry.
16:56I'm on the beach.
16:57How are you?
16:58I'm good.
16:59We miss you.
17:00Do you miss us?
17:01I miss you guys so much.
17:03But you've been gone like forever.
17:05No, I haven't.
17:08I mean a little bit, Yoki.
17:09Yeah, a little bit.
17:10When are you coming back to see us?
17:12I'm coming home soon.
17:13When?
17:14Ouch.
17:15Oh my God.
17:16What is it?
17:17Oh!
17:18Ah!
17:19What is it?
17:20Oh my God, it squeaked.
17:22No, free me.
17:23Free me to say.
17:24I love you, Mom.
17:26Oh my God.
17:27Wait.
17:28Oh.
17:29God.
17:30Don't hang up on me.
17:31Aoki Lee, exclamation point.
17:33Don't hang up on your mom.
17:34That fast.
17:35Exclamation point.
17:36Aoki, you see you're in trouble.
17:38She better get home right now or that's her ass and her inheritance.
17:48Why are we here?
17:49I'm going to cry.
17:50My makeup can't take it.
17:52Ah!
17:53How does it feel to do like the one that you did?
17:55This hurts.
17:56Facer, really?
17:57It hurt my mom the most, so she cried.
18:00Okay.
18:01Because I love them.
18:02I kind of gave in to the earrings only.
18:04I feel like they started with the tattoo to get to the earring.
18:07Like the goal was always the earring.
18:09You think so?
18:10Mm-hmm.
18:11You think the goal was the earring?
18:12All right, I'm going to go get all this sterilized real quick.
18:14Okay?
18:15Give me a vacuum.
18:16Yeah.
18:17Do you think I've been had?
18:19Might as well just get a tattoo too, you know?
18:20Absolutely not.
18:21Look, mom went right here.
18:22You know, I think that looks really good.
18:25I think it's still a no.
18:29Look at me.
18:30I'm horrified.
18:31That's cool.
18:32Are you guys sure you don't have to do all this?
18:34I'm nervous.
18:36I'm nervous.
18:37Me too.
18:38Me and you.
18:39All right.
18:44Do you want me to record all this?
18:46No, I'm nervous.
18:48I'm not going to lie.
18:49I get nervous when I get pierced too.
18:51It's normal.
18:52The brain protecting the body.
18:54I don't like needles.
18:55That's the thing.
18:57Big deep breath.
18:58All the way in.
18:59All the way out.
19:00See?
19:01Nothing.
19:02Oh!
19:03It's in!
19:04Oh, my God!
19:05Oh, my God!
19:06Ah!
19:07He's looking trim.
19:10Oh, my God.
19:11I can't take it, you guys.
19:12I can't take it.
19:15That's such a coming-of-age thing.
19:17It's like you're going from a little boy to a young man.
19:20That was so hard.
19:21Kenzo, did it hurt?
19:22Nah.
19:23Did it hurt?
19:24Nah, I'm good.
19:25Okay.
19:26Nah, I'm cool, man.
19:27That's crazy, Kenzo.
19:29You're the first one.
19:30It reminded me of when Ming and Aoki got their hair blown out for the first time.
19:35This is a mess!
19:36She's going to be trying to get married next time!
19:38Oh, my God.
19:39I made it.
19:40But I had my tissue.
19:41And it was wet.
19:42Okay, who's next?
19:43I'm living the lies.
19:44Ain't living the lies.
19:45My spirits are right in the hills on the vines.
19:46The cylinders are high.
19:47Gary?
19:48Are you scared?
19:49Mm.
19:50Gary!
19:51She's taking it worse than you, man.
19:52Are you okay?
19:53To see them, like, being such big people, it's just a lot for me.
19:59You guys think you're cute, and you kind of are, but I don't want to say that.
20:14Oh, my God.
20:15Oh, Gary!
20:16God knows I have a lot going on, and so I think you can see me.
20:21Good in some areas and challenges in other areas, but not when it really comes to my kids.
20:27They've really never done anything too bad.
20:30One, two, three, go cheese!
20:32Wait, wait, wait.
20:33Can I get one with me?
20:34Yeah, yeah.
20:35But also, I do think I'm evolving as a parent.
20:37I try to be a little bit more understanding.
20:40I try to have patience.
20:42So I feel like I've done pretty good.
20:45I love you guys.
20:46This was a lot for me.
20:47Thank you, Mom.
20:48We love you so much.
20:49Ryan, thank you.
20:50I love you.
20:53On the next, Kimora back in the family.
20:55Oh!
20:56No!
20:57What are your cousins eating?
20:58My cat!
20:59She got pulled over.
21:00I did, in New Jersey, but that's bull .
21:02Did you not have weed in your car?
21:04Okay, so wait.
21:05Hold on.
21:06Wait, hold on.
21:07Absolutely not.
21:08Mom!
21:09Mom!
21:23Mom!
21:24Mom!
21:25Mom!
21:26Oh!
21:27Oh!
21:28My cat!
21:29Mom!
21:30Father, I'm doing that.
21:31Come on.
21:32I love her.
21:34I love her.
21:35So what happened?
21:36Yes.
21:37He was really new.
21:38He was really, so I'm going to have to go through the foot.
21:39So, it's like this kind of a company.
21:40It's like this.
21:41Yeah, he's going to go to sleep.
21:42I'm going too.
21:43Yeah.
21:44Hi!
21:45You're coming out.
