Kardashian recently revealed she suffered a small brain aneurysm

Kim Kardashian is having a difficult time accepting the results of her latest brain scan. In the latest episode of the family’s Hulu reality series, The Kardashians, the Skims founder underwent a follow-up brain scan after her earlier aneurysm scare. She visited again with Dr. Daniel Amen, a doctor known for his use of brain imaging technology, but wasn’t too pleased by the results. While Amen told Kim she wasn’t at risk of Alzheimer’s, he did reveal that she has “low activity” in part of her brain.

“The front part of your brain is less active than it should be,” he explained. “With your frontal lobes, as they work now, it would be harder to manage stress and that’s not good for you, especially as you’re studying and you’re getting ready to take the boards.”

Kim, who was still studying for the California bar exam at the time, was taken aback by the news. “That just can’t be,” she said. “It just can’t — not accepting.” Amen said that Kim’s stress levels could be the reason for the low activity and recommended that she do more to take care of herself. In a confessional, Kim admitted: “I got to get on a plan to really figure this out because I have some s**t to do this summer.”

Kim, 45, revealed the news of her brain aneurysm during the Season Seven premiere of The Kardashians. She was seen crying to her sister, Kourtney, over the results of her scan. She appeared to blame the diagnosis on the stress of her divorce from ex-husband Kanye West. The two were married in 2014, and Kardashian filed for divorce in 2021. Speaking on The Kardashians premiere, she said the relationship between her and West is now “so sad” and she felt “pretty tested” by his actions. In Thursday’s episode, she dove further into the state of her relationship with West while speaking to her sister Kourtney’s ex-husband, Scott Disick. As they talked, Kardashian opened up about her frustrations with the rapper. “By the way, I’m sorry about all that you’re going through. It looks stressful,” Disick said, while not directly naming West. “I mean, I see some of the stuff, and it’s like, crazy.”

“It is hard,” Kardashian replied. She added in a confessional that West is “very loud out there right now.” “I just can’t really engage. I think it’s just for the better,” she said.

On the show, Kardashian denied West’s claims that he had called her. “I mean, I always encourage a relationship, but a healthy one,” she said, noting that it can be “frustrating that my character as a mom” is questioned because of her ex’s comments. “Sometimes I just feel like snapping, but I can’t. I just can’t.”

Earlier, reality television personality Kim Kardashian has confirmed that she will “keep studying” to become a lawyer after announcing that she failed her recent bar exam. The businesswoman, 45, whose late father Robert Kardashian was a prominent member of OJ Simpson’s defence team, expressed her disappointment but insisted she would continue “until I get there”.

Known for her role in The Kardashians and as the co-founder of Skims, Ms Kardashian previously passed her “baby bar” exam on her fourth attempt in 2021, announcing her graduation from a law programme in May. Just weeks before the recent result, she told The Graham Norton Show in October that she was due to qualify imminently. “I will be qualified in two weeks. I hope to practise law. Maybe in 10 years I think I’ll give up being Kim K and be a trial lawyer. That’s what I really want,” she stated at the time.

In a social media post shared on Sunday, Ms Kardashian reflected on her journey: “I’ve shared so much of this journey with you, and this summer I documented some of the final two weeks of studying — the ups, the downs, and everything in between. On November 7th, I found out I didn’t pass the bar. It was disappointing, but it wasn’t the end.”
