- Kim Kardashian revealed her bar results on Saturday after taking the exam in July.
- The reality star said she was “so close to passing” the exam that would have made her a lawyer.
- The results come less than a week after Kardashian unveiled her new role as a lawyer in the critically panned show All’s Fair.
Kim Kardashian has revealed the results of the bar exam she took in July.
The reality star, who first announced her aspirations to practice law in 2019, told her Instagram followers that she did not pass the exam.
“Well… I’m not a lawyer yet, I just play a very well-dressed one on TV,” Kardashian wrote on her Instagram Stories on Saturday, referencing her new role as a lawyer on Ryan Murphy’s Hulu series All’s Fair.
“Six years into this law journey, and I’m still all in until I pass the bar,” she continued. “No shortcuts, no giving up — just more studying and even more determination.”

Kardashian also thanked her supporters and everyone who encouraged her journey.
“Falling short isn’t failure — it’s fuel,” she wrote. “I was so close to passing the exam and that only motivates me even more. Let’s go!!!!!!!!!!!”
The news comes less than a week after All’s Fair premiered to scathing reviews, with The Guardian calling the show “fascinatingly, incomprehensibly, existentially terrible” in a rare zero-star review, and U.K. outlet The Times suggesting that the series “may well be the worst television drama ever made.”
Kardashian responded to the harsh criticism of the show with a cheeky Instagram post that included screenshots of several positive (and numerous negative) reviews from viewers. “Have you tuned in to the most critically acclaimed show of the year!?!?!?” she asked in her caption.
The show stars Kardashian as divorce lawyer Allura Grant and also features performances from Naomi Watts, Niecy Nash-Betts, Teyana Taylor, Sarah Paulson, Glenn Close, and Matthew Noszka. It marks Kardashian’s second collaboration with Murphy after American Horror Story: Delicate. (Veronica Galvez played a young version of the reality star in Murphy’s American Crime Story: The People vs. O.J. Simpson).

Kardashian first announced that she was studying law in her spare time in 2019. She said she passed the “baby bar” in 2021.

Earlier this week, Kardashian said ChatGPT has repeatedly given her faulty information about legal topics as she studies for her law exams. “It has made me fail tests all the time,” she said during a Vanity Fair lie detector test. “And then I’ll get mad and I’ll yell at it and be like, ‘You made me fail! Why did you do this?’ And it will talk back to me.”
If you want to step into an alternate reality where Kardashian did pass the bar, All’s Fair is streaming now on Hulu.
