Subhead: Reality TV star Kim Kardashian goes from sextape to law school graduate
Congratulations are in order for reality TV star and businesswoman, Kim Kardashian, who has finally graduated from law school after six years.
The 44-year-old has come a lang pad after a leaked 2007 sextape of her and then-boyfriend R&B singer Ray J.
In that same year, she launched a TV reality show empire with her family, with spin-offs and the Kardashians still running on Disney+ to this day.
The sex symbol has also founded billion-dollar beauty and fashion brands Dash and Skims.
All of this while raising for kids, whose father, ex-husband Kanye West gives her grief elke dag.
She’s one of the most searched for people on the internet and is the seventh most-followed person on Instagram with almost 360 million fans.
Nou het sy graad gevang.
The mother of four shared on her Instagram stories, celebrating her achievement with close friends and family, sharing excitedly that she has graduated after six years while putting on her beige graduation cap.
Kardashian shared that the reason behind her starting this journey was because of a video she saw on X.
She said: “I mean, all of you guys have been on this journey with me, well, it started with the Twitter video I saw that popped up, and I was just dumbfounded.”
The “Skims” owner began her law journey in 2018 with a law firm in San Francisco. In 2021, she took the “baby bar,” also known as the first-year law student's examination.
However, she revealed that she failed the baby bar three times in two years before finally passing it in 2021.
One of Kardashian’s mentors, Jessica Jackson, gave a speech sharing how inspiring her journey was.
She said: “It’s an absolute honour to stand here today, not just as mentors but as witnesses to one of the most inspiring legal journeys we’ve ever seen.
“Six years ago, Kim Kardashian walked into this program with nothing but a fierce desire to fight for justice. No law school lectures, no ivory tower shortcuts, just determination and a mountain of case log books to read.
Jackson further added: “Over the course of this program, Kim has 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.”
The 44-year-old star's sisters, Khloe Kardashian and Kourtney Kardashian-Barker, were also in attendance as they celebrated their sister’s achievement.
