Kim Kardashian revealed that she failed the California Bar Examination. The reality TV star made the announcement via Instagram and assured that she won’t be giving up on her dreams to become a lawyer.
In the post, Kim revealed that she was very close to clearing the bar this time.
The California Bar Exam is a two-day test administered by the State Bar of California that assesses a candidate’s competency to practice law in the state.
“Well… I’m not a lawyer yet, I just play a very well-dressed one on TV,” Kim Kardashian, who appeared for the test this year, wrote on Instagram stories.
The SKIMS owner, who plays a divorce lawyer in Ryan Murphy’s All’s Fair, emphasized she would not give up. “I’m still all in until I pass the bar. No shortcuts, no giving up – just more studying and even more determination,” she added.
The 45-year-old said she failed the exam by a whisker. “I was so close to passing the exam, and that only motivates me even more,” wrote Kardashian, who took the test in July 2025.
“Thank you to everyone who has supported and encouraged me along the way so far,” she added.
Her father, Robert Kardashian Sr., was a famous lawyer and also represented O.J. Simpson in his murder trial.
