Kim Kardashian revealed she did not pass the California bar exam on her first attempt but remains determined to continue her legal studies.
Reality star and entrepreneur Kim Kardashian has revealed she did not pass the California bar exam on her first try, according to a report from TMZ. Kardashian shared the news on her Instagram on Saturday, stating she is “not a lawyer — I just play one on TV,” while emphasizing her commitment to continue her studies.
The reality star, who has been pursuing her law journey for six years, said, “Falling short isn’t failure — it’s fuel. I was so close to passing the exam and that only motivates me even more.” She vowed to take no shortcuts and keep plugging away at her goal of becoming a trial attorney.
A source close to Kardashian told TMZ that she chose to announce the results ahead of Sunday’s official release because of her transparency throughout the process and her desire to keep fans informed. Kardashian previously passed the “baby bar” in 2021, one of two tests required to practice law in California, after being the sole graduate in her law school class.
Earlier this year, Kardashian promoted her new legal drama All’s Fair on “The Graham Norton Show,” describing law as the next phase of her career. She also has a legal legacy: her late father, Robert Kardashian, was a member of O.J. Simpson’s “Dream Team” during the 1995 murder trial.
Despite the setback, Kardashian remains optimistic about future attempts at the bar exam.
