Kim Kardashian in tears during 'exhausting' bar exam preparation

Published: Dec 18 2025

As the SKIMS founder neared her bar exam with just nine days to go, Kim Kardashian experienced a mental meltdown in the latest episode of The Kardashians. The reality TV star confessed to the cameras, "I'm about to cry because it's f------ exhausting," as she hit a wall with her preparations. She further shared, "I threw my back out, and it's like every time I think I'm making progress, something pulls me back." She lamented, "There are all these f------ roadblocks, and I'm not one to wallow in self-pity, but last night, I was thinking, why the f--- is this happening?"

Kim continued, her voice filled with frustration, "I can hardly walk, I can hardly sit. I don't know why I'm having all these back problems." Despite being warned that "everyone goes through a mental breakdown before taking the bar," Kim expressed surprise at how drained she felt. "I just knew that wasn't me because I'm not that person, but I understand now. It's really a lot. Now I really, really get it. I had no clue it was gonna be this emotional. I don't know how I can possibly cram any more information into my brain," she added.

When producers shared that they had never seen Kim so determined about something, the All's Fair star replied, "I really want it, and if I don't pass, I don't think I would take it again. I wouldn't have the time for a few years, and then I'm older and my brain capacity is different."

It's important to note that Kim Kardashian announced in November that she did not pass the bar exam. "On November 7th, I found out I didn't pass. It was disappointing, but it wasn't the end. I'm going to keep studying, keep learning, and keep showing up for myself until I achieve my goal," she revealed with determination in her voice.
