Kim Kardashian Reacts After Failing Baby Bar Exam

Posted: 29 May 2021 05:00 AM PDT

After months of spending time away from her kids to study for the difficult exam, Kim Kardashian, who is training to become a lawyer like her late dad, failed to get a passing grade on the baby bar exam.

Kim made it known on a preview of "Keeping Up with the Kardashians". Though she failed the exam months ago, it remained a secret, until she opened up in a preview of her family's reality show.

Kim said, "If you are doing law school the way I'm doing it, it is a 4-year program instead of your typical 3-year program, and after year 1, you have to take the baby bar. This was actually harder, I hear, than the official bar."

Kim scored 474 on the exam but the cut-off mark is 560.

Kim's mentor in taking the exam, attorney Jessica Jackson, said, "That is extremely close on a test that most people are not taking in the middle of a pandemic."

"I'm a failure," she said sadly. "The fact that I spent so much time away from my kids…I can't do it again. I don't have time."

Of course, her sisters Kourtney and Khloé were there to support her and cheer her on, telling her that their late father Robert Kardashian would be proud of Kim for following in his footsteps, but they were also concerned about her next move. Should she retake the test again at the earliest opportunity or step back and study some so she can try again months down the line? She had a lot to think about; in addition to raising four kids in the middle of a pandemic, Kim was dealing with marital issues and planning what would turn out to be a controversial 40th birthday trip.

Posted: 29 May 2021 03:30 AM PDT

Celebrity philanthropist, Olakunle Churchill is under fire for encouraging his wife, Rosy Meurer to reactivate her Instagram account amid backlash.

This is coming after the actress deactivated her account following series of backlash on a statement she made about recycling relationships which was linked to a post from her husband's ex-wife, Tonto Dikeh.

Reacting to this, a blogger alleged that it was Churchill who encouraged his wife to reactivate her account to avoid the impression of being seen as a coward who ran from a fight.


The blogger wrote;

"Churchill, you really need to support your wife as a man. Show us that na man you be, Oga. She just came back after giving birth plus your marriage is pretty new. It hasn't been long since both of you graduated from sister and brother to husband and wife na.

Aren't you still supposed to be in the honeymoon period especially when sister Rosy got pregnant few weeks after becoming wifey according to your own narrative that you gave us online? Last night like this, she went off line and you [according to an authentic insider] told her to reactivate her account if not it will look like "she is loosing the battle". Oga, which battle? Who is competing with who? Honey, these internet children are only using you as clowns to entertain themselves. That's all there is to it.

If you love your sister-wifey as you claim then Mr, please do the needful. It's okay if she is having post natal depression but you as a husband can help her heal quickly, Mr cloutson. We all know how much you like clout and you always use the women in your life especially to achieve that. Oga stop pls. Thank you. Hian!!"
