Kim Kardashian Fears Ray J’s ‘Racketeering’ Claims Will Torpedo Bar Admission

Character vs. Career: Kim Kardashian Fears Ray J’s ‘Racketeering’ Claims Will Torpedo Bar Admission

LOS ANGELES — For Kim Kardashian, the road to becoming a licensed attorney has always been an uphill battle, but a new obstacle has emerged that doesn't involve hearsay exceptions or constitutional law. In a stinging new legal declaration, the mogul revealed her fear that ex-boyfriend Ray J is intentionally attempting to sabotage her "moral character" evaluation, a mandatory prerequisite for joining the California State Bar.

The declaration, filed as part of her ongoing defamation lawsuit against the R&B singer, marks the most candid Kardashian has been about the intersection of her reality-TV past and her high-stakes legal future.

The "RICO" Accusations

The friction escalated in May 2025, when Ray J began a public campaign alleging that the Kardashian-Jenner family was the target of a federal criminal racketeering investigation. In a series of social media livestreams and a Tubi documentary, the singer claimed that "the feds is coming" and that the alleged misconduct was "worse than Diddy."

In her newly filed documents, Kardashian hit back, calling the accusations "entirely false" and "malicious."

“I have never been contacted by a government authority or agency, or a civil litigant, in connection with any alleged or potential criminal activity,” Kardashian asserted in the filing. “I feared that [Ray J's] accusations would put my dreams of becoming an attorney in jeopardy.”

The "Moral Character" Hurdle

Kardashian’s anxiety stems from the California State Bar’s stringent vetting process. Beyond passing the notoriously difficult two-day bar exam, applicants must undergo a "Moral Character" investigation that scrutinizes their background for any evidence of dishonesty or criminal misconduct.

Kardashian expressed concern that even unsubstantiated claims of racketeering could trigger "red flags" during her background check, potentially delaying her admission or forcing her into a lengthy hearing to clear her name.

A Decade-Long Journey

The timing of the dispute is particularly sensitive. After six years of study through the Law Office Study Program (an apprenticeship route that bypasses traditional law school), Kardashian reached several major milestones recently:

• May 2025: Officially "graduated" from her law apprenticeship program.

• July 2025: Sat for the California Bar Exam for the first time.

• November 2025: Revealed she fell "just short" of a passing grade but vowed to sit for the exam again.

The next bar exam is scheduled to take place tomorrow, 24th-25th February 2026, though it remains unclear if Kardashian is among the current pool of test-takers or if the legal drama has forced another delay.

"Tough Conversations" at Home

Beyond the professional fallout, the The Kardashians star highlighted the personal toll of Ray J’s claims. She revealed she had to have "tough conversations" with her four children to explain the "lies" being told about their family online.

For Ray J, the legal battle is a two-way street; he has filed a countersuit alleging that Kardashian and her mother, Kris Jenner, breached a previous contract by discussing their 2007 sex tape on their Hulu series.

As Kardashian plays a successful divorce lawyer in Ryan Murphy’s new series All’s Fair, the reality of her real-life legal aspirations continues to hang in the balance. Whether the State Bar views her as a crusader for justice or a victim of a decades-old grudge remains to be seen.
