In her latest interview, Kim Kardashian revealed she is one big step away from a major career change. For several years, Kardashian has been working hard with the goal of becoming a lawyer.
The billionaire business mogul hopes to follow in the footsteps of her late and famous father, Robert Kardashian. During O. J. Simpson‘s infamous trial, Robert Kardashian hit stardom as his friend and defense attorney.
Kardashian is the lawyer who got O.J. Simpson acquitted in the 1995 murder trial of Nicole Brown Simpson and Ronald Goldman.
Kim Kardashian recently sat down with CNN’s Poppy Harlow at the TIME100 Summit, where she opened up about her past and future career path.
Kanye West‘s former wife dropped the surprising revelation that if she was not a reality TV star, she would be happy working as a full-time attorney.
When the reporter asked if she would ever consider a life without being in the camera’s eye?
The 42-year-old mogul responded by saying: “I would be just as happy being an attorney full-time,” she answered when asked if she would ever consider a life without being in the camera’s eye.”
The Kardashians star explained that when she eventually passes the bar and is officially a lawyer, she will dedicate herself to the justice reform movement.
She stated: “The journey just really opened up my eyes so much. It gets overwhelming because there’s so much to be done … I brought my sister Khloé [Kardashian] to prison for the first time last week, and that was really eye-opening for her.”
Kardashian revealed that she knows that it will trouble her mother, Kris Jenner, who is also her manager, but she “hopes her efforts in the movement will be her life’s most meaningful work.”
She added: “I hope so. I always joke with my mom — who’s my manager — I say Kim K. is retiring, and I’m just going to be an attorney.”
Kardashian became deeply involved in politics and the justice reform movement in 2017 upon discovering the injustices suffered by many American prisoners.
The SKIMS founder worked directly with an association and other attorneys to release Alice Marie Johnson.
The woman had been in prison since 1996 after being convicted for helping facilitate communications in a drug trafficking case.
Kardashian has since been involved in multiple high-profile cases. In late 2021, Kim Kardashian was delighted to announce that she passed the first-year law students examination, also known as the baby bar.
Via Twitter, Kardashian shared the amazing news saying: “OMFGGGG, I PASSED THE BABY BAR EXAM!!!! Looking in the mirror, I am really proud of the woman looking back today in the reflection. For anyone who doesn’t know my law school journey, know this wasn’t easy or handed to me.”
Kardashian seems determined to make a difference.
