Bias
(85%)
The article contains multiple examples of religious bias. The author uses the phrase 'the daughter of model and fashion designer Kimora Lee Simmons' to imply that Aoki is a celebrity child who has no right to make her own choices about whom she dates. This implies that Aoki's relationship with Vittorio Assaf, who is 65 years old, is inappropriate due to the age difference and their positions of power and influence. The author also uses the phrase 'the second someone tries' which suggests that Aoki only posts photos on social media when she wants attention or validation from others. This implies a negative judgment about her motivations for posting these photos online.
