Kim Kardashian Battled Health Problem Amid Bar Exam Prep: ‘I Can Hardly Walk’
Kim Kardashian recently shared a major setback she faced while preparing to become a lawyer: a serious back injury.
Speaking on the December 18 episode of her Hulu reality show, The Kardashians, the 45-year-old revealed how the injury has made her law journey much harder.
“I’ve hit a wall. I’m like absolutely gonna cry, because it’s like f***** exhausting,” Kardashian said. She explained, “I threw my back out, and it’s like, every time I think I get to another step, something pulls me back.” She added that there have been many obstacles along the way, calling them “all these f***** roadblocks.”
The Skims founder admitted the injury has affected her daily life. “I can hardly walk. I can hardly f***** sit. I don’t know why I have all these back problems,” she said, describing the emotional toll of her studies. “It’s really a lot. Now I really really get it. I had no clue it was going be this emotional.”

Kardashian first revealed her dream of becoming a lawyer in 2019. Although she did not pass the bar exam in July, she remains determined to succeed. “Well … I’m not a lawyer yet, I just play a very well-dressed one on TV,” she told her followers in November. “Six years into this law journey, and I’m still all in until I pass the bar.”
She also emphasized her commitment to reaching her goal. “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,” Kardashian said.
