Kim Kardashian gets raw about ‘disappointing’ aspect of life
Kim Kardashian just revealed the tough reality of preparing for the California bar exam.
In a candid video posted on Instagram, the reality star shared the stressful moments leading up to the test that would determine whether or not she would become a lawyer — although she previously revealed that she did not pass.
“I’ve shared so much of this journey with you, and this summer I documented some of the final two weeks of studying — the ups, the downs, and everything in between,” Kim wrote in the caption.
“On November 7th, I found out I didn’t pass the bar. 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 Kardashians star mentioned.
The video begins with Kardashian sitting on her bed crying before rewinding to two weeks before the test.
Her time was spent reviewing cases, working with her team of professors, and studying the courses at length.
To make the countless hours of studying even more stressful, the SKIMS founder had also thrown her back out, which resulted in a few “disc issues.” Eventually, her emotions got the best of her.
“Every time I feel like I’m a step ahead, something happens to try to stop me from doing this,” Kardashian said while breaking down in tears, adding, “A part of me just wants to stop. I just feel like my brain’s gonna explode and I still have so much more to go.”
However, she stayed committed to her goal. And while her four children were on vacation, she spent as much time as she could making sure she was ready to take the exam.
“I feel really good about everything,” Kim said the day before the test. “My body feels good — it feels way better than it has in previous days. I feel good, like, I feel prepared.”
On November 7, however, Kardashian received the news that she did not pass the bar exam on the same day as the premiere of Hulu’s All’s Fair.
Lauren Silverman expressed nothing but gratitude as the year came to an end, revealing that she is ‘grateful’ for her relationship with the music mogul as they head into 2026.
Despite the happy snap, the American socialite and entrepreneur, 48, admitted she finds New Year ‘isolating and difficult,’ as she has chosen to go sober.
For unversed, the couple are gearing up to tie the knot this year. However, they spent the holiday at their home in Barbados and shared a poolside snap to honour the occasion.
Lauren, who has recently joined Instagram, shared the snap of Simon, 66, who was shirtless and wearing a pair of pale blue board shorts.
The couple looked loved-up as Lauren posed with her arms around the former X Factor boss.
Lauren – who has already legally changed her surname to Cowell cut a stylish figure in a plunging black swimsuit, and matching sarong, and a pair of stylish sunglasses.
Sharing a gushing post about Simon, Lauren said: ‘Grateful for who I get to stand next to as one year ends and another begins. Happy New Year everyone. May this be an ending that leads to something beautiful.’
However, she did also highlight her struggles at this time of year, as she discussed how hard it can be to be the only person not drinking at celebrations.
Lauren explained: ‘This is my second New Year’s Eve without alcohol. Sometimes nights like this can feel difficult and isolating.
Especially when you’re the only one not drinking on a celebratory night. But it’s so worth it. If you’re trying, struggling or just thinking about it – I see you. I know how it feels and you’ve got this.
‘Here’s to a new year of clarity, presence, strength and feeling good in your own skin. One day at a time.’
Lauren celebrated the first anniversary of her sobriety journey last month, as she reflected on how much her relationships and mental health have improved since quitting booze.

The most talked-about releases are Grand Theft Auto VI. Set in the fictional Floridan-inspired themes, the game follows criminal partners Lucia and Jason promising players a sharp satire of modern America. Expectations are sky-high ahead of its planned November release.
Another most-awaited is 007 First Light, developed by IO Interactive. As the name suggests, the story revolves around James Bond.

Stranger Things finally ended its ten-year run on Netflix with an emotional farewell for its cast and creators.
The horror thriller, which began in 2016, made its young actors international stars and the series became a global sensation.
On December 19, 2025, series creators Matt and Ross Duffer joined core cast members Millie Bobby Brown, Finn Wolfhard, Sadie Sink, Gaten Matarazzo, Caleb McLaughlin and Noah Schnapp at Netflix’s Paris Theatre in New York City.
The group watched the most-awaited finale, The Rightside Up, together for the first time.
The exciting event was filled with intense emotion as the actors talked about their journey, where Millie Bobby Brown, who played the main role Eleven, shared: “I started this show when I was just 12.
It’s hard to imagine my life without these people. They’ve been my family for ten years, and this goodbye is one of the hardest things I’ve ever done.”
The 21-year-old actress added, “Noah is still the godfather of my child, so I guess some parts of this family stay forever.”
However, other cast members shared similar feelings about growing up on the show and the close bonds they made over the years.
The Duffer brothers also praised all the actors for their hard-work and to bring the story to life over a decade.
Stranger Things finale premiered on New Year’s Eve 2025, closing the chapter on Hawkins’ adventures while leaving behind a lasting legacy.
