"I think I'm probably wrapping up modeling soon," Aoki, 22, admitted in a video obtained by TMZ back in October. "I'm tired of being told over and over again, 'No, you're not pretty enough.' " She added, "I think I'm going to switch back to working in government, because that's what my degree is in."
Aoki also shared her thoughts on often being compared to her supermodel mother.
"I get that. My mom is always going to be a way better model than me," she said in the video. "But it's just annoying to have that comparison sometimes."
