What was supposed to be a big day for the reality star turned into a nightmare, all at her own graduation ceremony.
On May 22, 2025, The Kardashians star proudly announced her law school graduation in a heartfelt Instagram post, featuring a carousel of snapshots from a backyard ceremony held the day before at a Beverly Hills hotel.
Kim completed California’s Law Office Study Program (LOSP), an alternative path that allows aspiring lawyers to study under the supervision of a licensed attorney or judge instead of attending a traditional law school.
Though designed as a four-year course, Kim’s journey stretched over six long years.
Expressing her gratitude and the surreal feeling of seeing her hard work finally pay off, Kim wrote in the caption of her celebratory post,
“Six years ago, I embarked on an unconventional path to pursue my dream of becoming a lawyer. It wasn’t easy, and it took longer than planned, but I never gave up… That’s the beauty of life: you step into the unknown, push through, and emerge with knowledge and strength no one can take away”.
Further, reflecting on the effort behind the achievement, she added,
“I chose a rigorous program registered with the California State Bar, building on 75 college credits .to complete a four-year curriculum that stretched to six. The journey was real, and so is the accomplishment. This experience has shaped me profoundly, and I’ll carry its lessons with me forever…”
Netizens Brutally Slam The Reality Star Over Her Law School Achievement
Instead of praise, Kim’s law school graduation was met with heavy skepticism and brutal sarcasm from critics online. Many questioned the legitimacy of her journey, accusing her of buying her way to success. Some such comments read,
“Money can buy you a degree”.
“This is an insult to Harvard and all who have attended and the Law itself. Just proving money buys everything”.
“When you get your degree from Temu”.
“Yeah all the work of 4 years to star as a lawyer in a drama series😂 lmao”.
“Wild. They set up a fake photo session graduation ceremony at a hotel”.
“Ok now I know Harvard is for rich people NOT smart people wow 😮”
“She’s such a poser, no Kim, you did not go to Harvard Law School”.
“What a joke this world has become where money buys you everything and you actually expect us to celebrate it”.
“Come back when you’ve actually gone to law school and you pass the actual bar exam”.
“Four years?????? And it’s not even a certificate program??? What a JOKE”.
Intimate Details From Kim’s Surprise Graduation Bash
In an exclusive interview with US Weekly magazine, an anonymous source close to the SKIMS founder revealed that the backyard graduation ceremony was a complete surprise. Kim thought she was simply showing up for a family brunch.
The insider shared how her loved ones reacted to the milestone, saying,
“They are all excited and proud of her and wanted to surprise her to celebrate this accomplishment. Her law mentors are also surprising her, and she has no clue they will be there”.
During the ceremony, one of Kim’s program mentors delivered a heartfelt speech, highlighting just how much work the reality star put into her legal journey, saying,
“Six years ago, Kim Kardashian walked into this program with nothing but a fierce desire to fight for justice… [Kim] dedicated 18 hours a week, 48 weeks a year for six straight years. That’s a total of 5,184 hours of legal study. That’s time she carved out while raising four children, running businesses, filming television shows and showing up in courtrooms to advocate for others”.
Kim Kardashian first began her law school journey back in 2019. After failing the ‘baby bar’ exam three times, she finally passed it on her fourth attempt in 2021.
She has also passed the Multistate Professional Responsibility Examination (MPRE), making her eligible to take the California bar exam, the final step toward officially becoming a licensed attorney in the state.
Despite the backlash and cries of ‘bought success’, Kim K. is marching toward the bar exam, whether the internet likes it or not.
