Kim Kardashian has made a difficult decision in her legal journey after failing the California bar exam multiple times. Sources say the “Keeping Up with the Kardashians” star, 45, failed her February exam and has no plans to retake it in July, according to TMZ.
Those who want to take this exam have two chances a year, but sources say Kim does not intend to try again until 2027.
Kim Kardashian has only taken the California bar exam once. However, she also took the so-called “baby bar,” which is required for entry into her law practice program, three times before passing it on her fourth attempt in 2021.
The reality star, who also plays a lawyer on Ryan Murphy's series "All's Fair," admitted that she failed the California bar exam in November of last year, after attempting it in July.
She wrote on Instagram: "Well... I'm not a lawyer yet. I just play a well-dressed lawyer on television."
She added:
"Six years into this legal journey and I'm still committed until I pass the exam. No shortcuts, no giving up, just more study and more determination."
The news of her decision to take a break comes as no surprise to those who have followed her legal journey. In December, she openly admitted that the failure had damaged her self-confidence.
She told Time Magazine:
"As soon as I got the results I didn't feel good. I felt low for a while. The results come out on Friday and I knew they would be online on Sunday morning. So I wanted to say it myself first and tell people that it didn't go the way I wanted."
Kardashian previously spoke about her study process on an episode of "Kardashians." In the episode, she tearfully revealed that she felt like she was having a "mental breakdown" due to the intense studying for the exam.
"I'm going to cry, because it's so exhausting," she said as she became emotional, adding that she had "reached a dead end" with her preparation.
"I injured my back and it's like every time I think I'm taking another step, something knocks me back," she said, adding that she could barely walk and could barely sit down from the pain and fatigue.
