Kim Kardashian: From Reality Star to Lawyer Taking a Stand Against ICE Raids
Kim Kardashian's Secret Bid for the Bar: The SKIMS Founder Takes a Risky Step Towards Becoming a Lawyer
Months after graduating from her law program, Kim Kardashian is taking the final leap in her mission to become a lawyer like her late father Robert Kardashian. The SKIMS founder, 44, has quietly taken the California bar exam in late July and will learn if she passed on November 7 - two days before the State Bar makes results public on November 9 at 6pm PT.
But what's behind Kim's sudden decision to take the bar exam privately with a proctor present? Sources close to the reality star claim it was a deliberate move to keep the news under wraps, especially given her high-profile status. After all, failing the exam would be a public embarrassment for someone who has built an empire on being a beauty and fashion mogul.
The California bar exam is notoriously tough, with a historically low pass rate. Kim had to answer 200 multiple-choice questions as well as completing one 90-minute performance test and five one-hour essay questions. It's a grueling process that requires dedication and perseverance - qualities that Kim has demonstrated in her six-year journey to becoming a lawyer.
Kim's passion for law began years ago, when she became involved in prison reform efforts with Alice Marie Johnson, a woman whose life sentence was commuted by President Trump after Kim's advocacy. The reality star even met with Trump at the White House to discuss criminal justice reform during his first presidency - a move that sparked controversy among fans who accused her of "virtue signaling" due to her ties to the Trump family.
But despite the backlash, Kim has remained committed to her cause. In June, she took to Instagram to speak out against President Trump's ICE raids in Los Angeles, calling them "inhumane" and advocating for the rights of immigrants. Her statement sparked a heated debate on social media, with some fans accusing her of using her platform for publicity.
However, Kim stood firm in her convictions, doubling down on her stance at the DVF Awards in Venice, Italy. When asked about Trump's ICE raids, she said: "When we're told that ICE exists to keep our country safe and remove violent criminals - great. But when we witness innocent, hardworking people being ripped from their families in inhumane ways, we have to speak up. We have to do what's right."
It's clear that Kim is not just a beauty mogul, but also a woman with a purpose. And her journey towards becoming a lawyer is just one example of her dedication to making a difference.
But will she pass the bar exam? Only time will tell - although sources close to Kim claim she's feeling confident about her chances. After all, she's already passed the "baby bar" and the Multistate Professional Responsibility Examination, a major hurdle for aspiring lawyers.
Kim's friends and family are no doubt eager to see her achieve this milestone. Her mother Kris Jenner even shared a congratulatory message on Instagram after Kim graduated from her law program in May. And who knows? Maybe one day, we'll see Kim Kardashian J.D. practicing law in the courtroom.
As for Ivanka Trump, Kim's close friend and ally in prison reform efforts, she sent a heartfelt congratulations to Kim via Instagram Story after news of her graduation went public. "Congratulations Kim! You did it! My favorite law school graduate!" wrote Ivanka alongside a photo of Kim wearing her graduation cap.
Will Kim's lawyer aspirations be the next chapter in her remarkable journey? Only time will tell - but one thing is certain: this multi-talented entrepreneur and activist has got the world watching.
