Kim Kardashian has recently dropped major revelation about her original name.

The All’s Fair actress opened up about last-minute name switch before she entered the family’s reality TV show, Keeping Up with the Kardashians, back in 2007.

“I used to always go by Kimberly, until we signed on to do the reality show,” said the 45-year-old in a new interview with Time.

Elaborating on why she made the decision, Kim saw her name, Kimberly Kardashian and realised that it was too long.

“I said, ‘I think that’s so long for people to say.” And like, “Let’s just shorten it to Kim,’” mentioned the American Horror Story actress.

Kim recalled that all her high school friends and dad would call her “Kimberly” so it was “weird” to change my name.

However, the SKIMS founder gave credit to her sisters for pitching the show to promote their Los Angeles clothing store, DASH.

“The whole reason we wanted to start our show was to bring attention to our DASH store, at least that’s how I was able to get my sisters to sign on,” pointed out Kim.

Elsewhere in the interview, the reality star revealed whether she was “the mastermind” behind the Kardashian empire.

“I was the one that convinced everyone for sure. I really wanted it,” she told the outlet.

Kim added, “I really wanted to do a reality show since the day MTV’s The Real World came out and I watched it with my best friend.” 

Kim Kardashian got honest about her feelings after she failed her exam.

The SKIMS founder revealed that she felt ‘really uncomfortable’ and lost confidence after failing the California bar exam.

The 45-year-old admitted to feeling shaken by the result, but she’s determined not to let the disappointment stop her.

Kim has been working towards achieving her dream of becoming a lawyer for six years, inspired by her late father Robert Kardashian.

She studied for months dedicating up to nine hours a day throughout.

But when she sat for the July exam, she fell short of the 1,390 points needed to pass.

In a recent candid chat with Time Magazine, she shared she is ‘pretty good’ at turning a failure into something positive.

Kanye West’s ex is turning it in into a learning experience.

The Kardashians star talked about the moment she got the result.

“I took a minute to process that, and instantly, when I got my results, I didn’t feel good about it. I was really uncomfortable and not confident for a while,” she said.

“You get the results on a Friday, and I knew Sunday morning they were going to be live on the internet. So I wanted to mention it first and let people know that it didn’t go my way.”

She confessed failure dented her confidence.

However, rather than dwelling on the setback, she is channeling it into motivation.

She further added, “I’m pretty good at taking a failure and turning it into something and I just don’t have the time to dwell.”

“You can feel sorry for yourself for a second, but I need to take that time and put it into studying more.”
