Kim Kardashian struggles to overcome trauma after law exam failure

Kim Kardashian, fresh off her Hulu series All's Fair, has hit a bump in the road in her dream of officially becoming a lawyer.

The 45-year-old reality TV star revealed she failed her latest bar exam attempt, despite preparing intensely and studying nine hours a day for three months in a bid to pass on her first try.

While speaking on her show The Kardashians, filmed before she received her results, Kim admitted the pressure was immense. 

“It’s just the craziest, most emotional roller-coaster,” she said. 

“I really do need to pass on the first try because I don’t have another few months I can give up. I studied nine hours a day, every day. I am feeling a little bit overwhelmed.”

The SKIMS founder had devoted herself fully to her studies after wrapping her new TV drama All’s Fair, treating preparation as her “No. 1 focus.” 

Yet, despite her dedication, she fell short and now faces the daunting prospect of retaking the exam.

Most recently, the aspiring lawyer spoke about ChatGPT giving her misleading and incorrect answers, and she has also criticised the psychics who told her she would pass her second attempt at the California bar exam.

Taking to Instagram after receiving the news, Kanye West ex-wife shared a heartfelt message with her fans: “Well … I’m not a lawyer yet, I just play a very well-dressed one on TV. 

Falling short isn’t failure – it’s fuel. I was so close to passing and that only motivates me even more. Let’s go!”

The Keeping Up with the Kardashians star’s legal journey began in 2018 when she enrolled in a four-year apprenticeship at a San Francisco law firm. 

She has already passed the baby bar exam in 2021 and the Multistate Professional Responsibility Exam (MPRE) earlier this year. 

The businesswoman, known for her transparency, revealed her exam results a day before they were made public, keeping her fans in the loop about her determined, ongoing pursuit of a law career.
