Users Torch Kim Kardashian After California Bar Exam Results Revealed

Kim Kardashian may play a lawyer on TV, but she’s not adding that coveted “esquire” title to the end of her name just yet.

The reality star turned leading actress took to social media on November 8 to reveal her results from the California bar exam.

For those unfamiliar, Kim Kardashian has been on a quest to become a practicing lawyer in California since around 2018.

It looks like Kim Kardashian still has a bit more studying to do, as the reality star admitted on her Instagram Stories that she did not pass the California bar exam after taking it over two days in July.

“Well, I’m not a lawyer yet,” she wrote online. “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.”

“Falling short isn’t failure—it’s fuel,” she added before revealing how “close” she was to receiving good news this time around. “That only motivates me even more,” she finished.

Kim Kardashian sharing news of her bar exam results comes just days after the “All’s Fair” actress admitted in an interview that she used ChatGPT to help her study. In fact, the mother of four revealed that she’d express her frustration with the system after giving her the wrong answers.

“When I need to know the answer to a question, I’ll take a picture and snap it and put it in there,” she said, according to The Blast. “It has made me fail tests … all the time,” she continued. “And then I’ll get mad and I’ll yell at it.”

As she went on, Kim said that ChatGPT would often try to encourage her by telling her she had known the answers all along and to trust her own instincts. However, Kim explained why that doesn’t work for her.

“But they need to do better because I’m leaning to them to really help me and she is teaching me a life lesson and then becoming my therapist to tell me why I need to believe in myself after they got the answer wrong,” she said. “It’s like a thing. I screenshot all the time and send it in my group chat. Like, can you believe this b-tch is talking to me like this? This is insane.”

Social media users shared their unfiltered reactions to Kim Kardashian’s latest admission, roasting the reality star for a plethora of reasons, including using an AI system to help her study.

“You mean the woman who admitted to using ChatGPT for legal advice and believes the moon landing was fake didn’t pass the bar?? Color me shocked,” someone commented on Reddit. Another user even replied to that comment, suggesting the A-lister used ChatGPT to draft her above statement, saying the “phrasing is a giveaway.”

Several other Redditors shared their takes in the thread, posting GIFs and memes of the star herself, seemingly attempting to humiliate her for pursuing such a lofty goal.

Other users, meanwhile, praised Kim for her tenacity and determination, with one person showing love to “anyone who is trying to study and better themselves.”

While Kim did not attend a traditional law school during her studies, she did enroll in a four-year apprenticeship with a San Francisco law firm in 2018, according to E! News. She took the “baby bar” exam—signifying the first year of study for students taking unaccredited law classes—and passed in 2021.

In addition to the “baby bar,” Kim took the Multistate Professional Responsibility Exam in March, a required component for bar admission in most US states.

Kim went on to finish the program and celebrated her accomplishment this summer with a mini ceremony with her close friends and family, and received much love from those around her.

Kim’s mother, Kris Jenner, boasted about her daughter’s intense schedule, which she said included 18 hours of studying a week for six years. “That’s time she carved out while raising four children, running businesses, filming television shows and showing up in courtrooms to advocate for others,” she said.
