Reality TV star and entrepreneur Kim Kardashian is proving she can laugh at herself after turning her bar exam setback into a witty punchline in a new advertising campaign.
In a commercial promoting her new Update Energy drink, Kardashian playfully addressed criticism surrounding her legal journey. When asked, "Did she even pass the bar?" she confidently fired back, "No, I didn't pass the bar. I raised it," drawing praise from fans for embracing the moment with humour.
The campaign also pokes fun at several long-running public conversations about the business mogul, including speculation over cosmetic procedures and her reputation as a relentless workaholic. It even references her viral "Get your f---ing ass up and work" comment, showing Kardashian's willingness to laugh at herself.
Despite not passing the California Bar Exam on her latest attempt, Kardashian remains committed to her dream of becoming a lawyer. In May 2025, she celebrated completing her legal education after six years of study through California's Law Office Study Program, marking another milestone in her unconventional path into the legal profession.
By owning her setbacks with confidence and humour, Kardashian continues to show that perseverance—not perfection—has defined her legal journey.
