Kim Kardashian Breaks Down After Failing California Bar Exam, Video Goes Viral

Reality TV star and entrepreneur Kim Kardashian was seen breaking down emotionally after learning that she had failed the California Bar Exam, with a video of the moment now going viral on social media.

The clip captures Kim sitting with her mother Kris Jenner, sister Khloé Kardashian, and her son Saint as she waits for the exam results. As the clock struck 5 pm, Kim refreshed her screen and was visibly devastated when the outcome confirmed she had not passed.

Initially attempting to remain composed, Kim said she had sensed the result during the exam itself, admitting that her essay answers did not feel strong enough. Moments later, she became emotional and struggled to hold back tears as her family comforted her.

Kris Jenner expressed sympathy, noting that Kim had worked extremely hard for the exam. Khloé Kardashian, however, pointed to Kim’s demanding professional commitments, suggesting that balancing intense legal studies alongside filming and memorising scripts for her reality show made the task overwhelming. Khloé later reiterated this view while speaking to Kim’s law mentor.

During the emotional exchange, Kim candidly referred to herself as having had “a really terrible week,” underscoring the personal toll the setback had taken.

Earlier, Kim had shared details of her preparation journey on social media, later confirming that she did not clear the exam. She stated that while the result was disappointing, she remains committed to continuing her legal studies and pursuing her goal of becoming a lawyer.

In a recent episode of The Kardashians, Kim also revealed that she had been diagnosed with an unruptured brain aneurysm during a routine MRI in October 2025, adding another layer to what has been a challenging period for the star.
