Kim Kardashian Breaks Down After Failing California Bar Exam — Emotional Video Goes Viral
Kim Kardashian is facing a tough moment after learning she did not pass the California bar exam. A video showing her reaction has started spreading online and has drawn a lot of attention.
The clip shows Kim at home with her mother Kris Jenner, her sister Khloe Kardashian, and her son Saint. They are waiting for the results to be released at 5 p.m. When the time comes and Kim checks her phone, the result is clear.
She did not pass. At first, she tries to stay calm and says, “I didn’t make it. It’s okay, I figured that,” but her voice shakes. Seconds later, she breaks down and starts crying.
Khloe asks her why she expected the result to be bad. Kim explains that she felt something was wrong during the test. She says she was not confident about her essay answers and felt they were not strong enough to pass. Kris tries to comfort her and says, “It sucks because you worked so hard.”

Khloe looks at the situation differently. She points out that Kim’s busy life may have made studying harder. Later, Khloe also shares this view with Kim’s law mentor. She says that learning complex law material while filming shows and memorizing TV scripts is a lot for one person to handle.
During the emotional moment, Kim is very hard on herself. She calls herself “a big f*****g loser this week.” The video has made many fans react with support, saying the exam is difficult and that failing does not erase her effort.
Kim later confirmed the news herself on social media. On November 17, she shared a video showing parts of her study routine. In the caption, she explained that she found out on November 7 that she did not pass.
She wrote, “I’ve shared so much of this journey with you… It was disappointing, but it wasn’t the end. This dream means too much to me to walk away from, so I’m going to keep studying, keep learning, and keep showing up for myself until I get there.” The video and caption came directly from Kim’s own social media accounts.
The moment comes during a challenging time in Kim’s life. In an episode of The Kardashians Season 7, she also revealed that doctors found an unruptured brain aneurysm during a routine MRI in October. That news added to an already stressful year for her.
