Kim Kardashian has decided to take a step back from her ambitious journey to become a California attorney, following a challenging round of attempts at the bar exam. According to insiders, the 'Kardashians' star, now 45, is taking a break from the exam after skipping the February session and has no plans to try again this July, as TMZ reports. If you're wondering when she'll give it another shot, sources suggest it won't be until 2027.
This decision might surprise some, but those in Kardashian's orbit know she's no stranger to persistence. After all, this is the same woman who conquered the infamous California "baby bar" exam, but only on her fourth attempt. The reality star, who plays a lawyer on Ryan Murphy's "All's Fair," candidly announced her latest bar exam failure last November. "Well... I'm not a lawyer yet," she shared on Instagram Story, cheekily adding, "I just play a very well-dressed one on TV."
“Six years into this law journey, and I'm still all in until I pass the bar. No shortcuts, no giving up – just more studying and even more determination.”
Kardashian's legal aspirations have undoubtedly taken a toll on her emotional well-being. Her openness about the journey reveals a deeply personal struggle. In a candid conversation with Time Magazine, she admitted that failing the exam hit her confidence hard. "I took a minute to process that, and instantly, when I got my results, I didn't feel good about it. I was really uncomfortable and not confident for a while," she confessed.
The pressure of preparing for the bar is no joke, as Kim previously shared on an episode of "Kardashians," where she tearfully described hitting a mental wall. "I'm absolutely gonna cry cause it's f–king exhausting," she admitted, explaining the physical toll as she "threw my back out" from the intense study sessions.
Despite the setbacks, Kim's commitment to her legal dreams hasn't wavered. While she takes a break from the bar, she continues to juggle her other ventures, from her role in "All's Fair" to her booming Skims empire. The decision to pause is strategic, offering her time to regroup, recharge, and come back stronger in the future.
Her journey remains an inspiring reminder of dedication and persistence, and fans are eagerly waiting to see what she will conquer next on this Malibu-style drama ride. For now, it looks like her focus will shift back to her many other projects that continue to shine brightly in the SoCal spotlight.
