Reality television star and business mogul Kim Kardashian has ended the speculation, revealing to her fans that she did not pass the challenging California bar exam.
Instagram Announcement and Resilient Message
The 45-year-old SKIMS founder took to her Instagram Stories on Saturday to share the disappointing news, but coupled it with a powerful message of perseverance. She confirmed she took the exam in July and, despite not passing, has no intention of abandoning her legal ambitions.
With a touch of self-deprecating humour, she began, 'Well...I'm not a lawyer yet, I just play a very well-dressed one on TV,' a nod to her new legal drama series, All's Fair, on Hulu.
She emphasised her long-term commitment, stating, '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.' The mother-of-four also expressed her gratitude to those who have supported her throughout this process.
Close Result Fuels Further Determination
Kardashian concluded her candid post with an uplifting and motivational perspective on her setback. She framed her near-success as a catalyst for future efforts rather than a defeat.
'Falling short isn't failure - it's fuel,' she declared. 'I was so close to passing the exam and that only motivates me even more. Let's Go!!!!!!!!!!'
This revelation comes after she discussed the pending results during a recent appearance on The Graham Norton Show late last month. During that interview, she explained the timeline, noting she was awaiting her results which were due just days after the premiere of All's Fair.
She had told the host, 'I took the bar exam in July. I get the results a few days after our [All's Fair] premiere. So in two weeks. So everyone please pray for me. I worked really hard.' She had even hinted at the possibility of becoming a lawyer within a fortnight if the results were positive.
A Six-Year Legal Ambition
Kim Kardashian's pursuit of a legal career, which she is undertaking through California's non-traditional 'reading the law' apprenticeship path, has been a public journey spanning six years. Her recent announcement confirms that this journey is not yet over, but her resolve appears stronger than ever.
