The latest episode of the reality series The Kardashians, which dropped on 18 December, offers a raw and emotional glimpse into Kim Kardashian's gruelling journey to become a lawyer. The episode captures the SKIMS founder breaking down in tears just days before her crucial bar examination in July, a test she ultimately did not pass.
The Emotional Toll of the Bar Exam
In the episode, filmed just nine days before the July exam, the immense mental and physical strain on the 45-year-old star becomes painfully clear. According to a report by People, Kim Kardashian, who has been pursuing a legal career for six years, could no longer hold back her frustration and exhaustion.
"I’m absolutely gonna cry, cause it's f****** exhausting," she told the cameras. She revealed she had even thrown her back out from the intense study schedule. "Every time I think I get to another step, something pulls me back. There’s all these f****** roadblocks," she lamented, questioning why she was facing so many obstacles.
Her fears materialised when, in November, she publicly shared that she had not cleared the July bar exam. Despite earlier stating it would be her final attempt, Kardashian affirmed in her announcement that she is not giving up on her legal ambitions.
The Kardashian-Jenner Christmas Party Tradition
Shifting from courtroom stress to holiday glamour, the article also delves into the family's famous Christmas celebrations. These lavish parties are a major social event, attracting A-list celebrities like Elon Musk, Jennifer Lopez, Paris Hilton, and Dave Chappelle over the years, as per the Daily Mail.
The tradition was started by matriarch Kris Jenner in 1978 when she was married to Robert Kardashian. It has since become a calendar highlight. Interestingly, the costs for these extravagant galas are split equally among the family members.
Last year's celebration was hosted at model Kendall Jenner's Beverly Hills estate, which is estimated to be worth a staggering $8.5 million. In a recent interview, Kendall hinted that she might host again this year but prefers a more intimate gathering. "Last year, we did a smaller Christmas Eve party, and it was super lovely... But we're doing a smaller one again this year, and I'm really happy about it," she told the Daily Mail.
What's Next for Kim's Legal Journey?
While the episode documents a significant professional setback, it underscores Kim Kardashian's determination. Her emotional breakdown highlights the very real challenges of the bar exam, even for someone with vast resources. Her pledge to continue, despite the very public failure, sets the stage for the next chapter in her legal story. Meanwhile, the family continues to blend their very public professional struggles with their iconic, star-studded private traditions.
