Kim Kardashian bares her soul and tears over failing the bar exam
Kim Kardashian readily shares the less glamorous aspects of her celebrity lifestyle.
“I’ve chronicled much of this experience with you all, and this past summer, I recorded the last fortnight of my studies — encompassing the highs, the lows, and everything that transpired,” Kardashian, aged 45, posted on Instagram this past Sunday, November 16. Her post included a video compilation showing her emotional reaction upon discovering she had failed the bar exam, rendering her currently unqualified to practice law.
“I received my bar exam results on November 7th, and I was unsuccessful,” she elaborated in her caption. “While disheartening, this is not a definitive conclusion. My aspiration is too significant for me to abandon, so I am committed to continuing my studies, acquiring more knowledge, and persevering until I achieve my goal.”
The video depicted Kardashian in tears as she prepared for the bar examination, which she ultimately failed.

“It seems that whenever I make progress, an obstacle emerges to hinder my efforts,” she remarked, preceding the video segment that showcased the reality TV personality's activities during the two weeks leading up to her exam.
“Alright, the bar exam is in two weeks. I'm feeling a bit anxious; I’ve been studying non-stop for four months, cleared my work schedule, avoided professional calls, and essentially done nothing but parent and study,” she informed the camera, positioned before a substantial whiteboard. “Now that we’re approaching the final stretch, my children are enjoying a wonderful vacation, allowing me to concentrate fully.”
She added, “I recognize that my learning approach has significantly evolved this time. It feels as though you never truly feel prepared, but you must commit when you sense you are nearing readiness — a principle that applies to all aspects of life. I am aware that I have a single opportunity, and I intend to seize it. I will succeed.”
Kardashian initially disclosed her bar exam outcomes on November 8, confirming her failure to clear the widely known challenging examination.
“Indeed…I am not a lawyer currently. I merely portray a stylish one on screen,” Kardashian posted on her Instagram Stories previously, referencing her recent part in the new Hulu production, All’s Fair.
Within Sunday’s update, Kardashian disclosed that she received her examination results on the identical day that All’s Fair made its debut. Subsequently, she detailed her comprehensive preparations for the test, concluding with an emotional report.
“Oh, damn, I need to record this, as I am utterly exhausted,” she stated in the recording. “A part of me simply desires to cease. I genuinely feel my mind is at its breaking point, yet there remains a substantial amount of work ahead.”
She later provided an update one week prior to the exam, featuring the personality in a back brace, explaining she had injured her back at the least convenient moment. A segment showed Kim articulating a hypothetical exam question concerning a mother who contracts to sell property to her offspring before her demise.

“Things are as they are, we will be prepared,” she affirmed. “I feel optimistic.”
Just three days before the examination, Kim disclosed that an MRI had shown she was experiencing “some disc problems” in her back. Despite this, she persisted with her study routine and “checklists,” which comprised four hours of multiple-choice practice and consultations with her essay instructor.
“People often assume, ‘Oh, it’s merely an online course,’ and, ‘It’s easy, you know.’ Attempt it. Just try it,” Kardashian asserted earlier in the footage, confronting her critics directly. “Such comments genuinely don’t bother me, you understand? I believe those individuals lack understanding and are not part of my personal journey, nor do I require them to be.”
Following a depiction of an optimistic Kardashian on the eve of her exam, the video concludes by presenting her test results through a straightforward announcement:
“On November 7, 2025, Kim obtained her bar examination outcomes. She was unsuccessful. Despite her failed attempt, she intends to retake the exam… And SUCCEED.”
