Reality television star Kim Kardashian was seen in a state of extreme emotional distress on the latest episode of her family's show, The Kardashians, confessing she was experiencing a 'mental breakdown' just over a week before her crucial bar exam.
Family Celebration Overshadowed by Turmoil
The episode detailed a difficult period for the SKIMS founder, which began with a surprise law school graduation party thrown by her family. However, the intended celebration was reportedly marred by her fighting sons and a tense exchange with her sister, Kourtney. Despite the familial drama, Kim's focus remained firmly on the monumental task ahead: passing the California bar exam, the final hurdle in her unconventional journey to becoming a lawyer.
The Final Countdown and a Devastating Setback
In a poignant scene, the 45-year-old was filmed in her office, dressed in black pyjamas and working at her computer, when a producer reminded her the test was merely a week away. After calculating she had just nine days left to prepare, Kim's composure crumbled.
She revealed a gruelling study schedule, having completed a three-hour practice test that morning after another three-hour session the day before. The immense pressure was compounded by a devastating injury, which she sobbingly admitted was making it intensely difficult to concentrate during the vital final days of revision.
The Emotional Toll of a Legal Dream
This raw display highlights the significant personal sacrifice and intense pressure Kardashian has faced while pursuing her legal career through California's non-traditional 'reading the law' apprenticeship path. Her televised mental breakdown underscores the universal stress associated with high-stakes professional qualifications, resonating far beyond the world of celebrity.
