plans to leave fame behind

Sssssuuuuuure you do. People like her are a fame tautology. They're famous because their famous.

[–] Etterra@discuss.online 17 points 2 days ago (1 children)

They feed on it. They're attention vampires.

A trial attorney? I could see it she wanted to be like a corporate attorney or real estate or something, where your character as a person isn't relevant. How is she going to empanel a jury without potential jurors having preexisting feelings about her trustworthiness? "Yeah, she seems sincere, but remember that time on her reality show where she was faking tears for sympathy?"

I don't know her, or how competent she would be at trial, and anyone can be anything they want to be. But also, recognize that choices have consequences. Maybe trading dignity for fame and fortune means you don't get to live any dream you like.

Remember that time she intentionally published her own sex video and then lied and said it was a leak?

Or the fact that she willingly Married Kanye West..

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@midwest.social 7 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That was pre-Nazi Kanye tbf. Then he went full psycho divorced dad.

[–] Notyou@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 day ago (2 children)

What? You mean getting a divorce and then deciding to live in a football stadium for a month are psycho actions?

No that part was just dudes being dudes come on now

[–] Cethin@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 day ago

To be fair, I don't even like football but I think that's be cool. If I had that kind of influence to do that, I might do it too. That's not the psycho part.

Isn't there an infamous video of her dad removing a briefcase (evidence) from OJ's house in front of reporters? I'd be deeply suspicious of any lawyers from that lineage.

[–] Jax@sh.itjust.works 26 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Did OJ not get away with it?

[–] Ganbat@lemmy.dbzer0.com 23 points 2 days ago (4 children)

Robert Kardashian was part of OJ's defense. There was speculation that the bag contained evidence of the murders. When the bag was entered into evidence, its contents were not. Kim Kardashian claims she went through it at the time and it only contained toiletries.

[–] Bronzebeard@lemmy.zip 5 points 1 day ago

I'm sure the child remembered what she saw in a bag...

[–] Doubleohdonut@lemmy.ca 16 points 2 days ago

So she's saying she handled the contents of the bag before it was entered into evidence?

[–] Jax@sh.itjust.works 11 points 2 days ago

Sounds a lot like they got away with it. I'm not saying what they did is right, I just think it sounds like the perfect kind of lawyer for the federal admin of today.

Kim Kardashian claims she went through it at the time and it only contained toiletries.

Because toiletries are naturally the kinds of things you find a briefcase, right?

Kim Kardashian, Attorney General.

Lmao. It’s already evil. Might as well make Dotard’s government hilarious too.

[–] malle_yeno@pawb.social 30 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

Her dad is Robert Kardashian, who helped defend OJ for murder. Her wanting to become a trial lawyer isnt that surprising.

edit: wrong robert, though Shapiro was also on the team

[–] Psythik@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

Wait I thought Caitlin Jenner was her dad? (Well, mom now but you get what I mean.)

I'm so confused about how that family works. Why do they have two last names? Divorce?

[–] malle_yeno@pawb.social 6 points 2 days ago

Yep, they divorced and then mom married into the Jenners. Kim et al. were born when Robert was the dad though, so no last name change for them. The kids that came about after would have been called Jenner.

Judge: Is this true? Kim: This is super awkward

Odds on Trump appointing her to the DoJ?

[–] Notyou@sopuli.xyz 4 points 1 day ago

Not 0% which is a crazy thing to speculate. I say that because she was friendly with trump while a$ap was in jail.

I actually think she would be an improvement from the current DoJ.....what a crazy time to be alive.

[–] Alpha71@lemmy.world 4 points 2 days ago

Hunh. Good for her.

[–] Brkdncr@lemmy.world 14 points 2 days ago

Trial law is incredibly difficult. Even if you’re not chasing billable hours, you have deadlines, procedures, sleeping at the office, doc review, managing people, being managed by partners or other attorneys, travel….the list goes on.

Only a few people stay in it, either for he money or they chase the stress.

I suspect she will be used to bring attention to a law firm. It’s not unusual to have attorneys that do little work but have connections.

Oh, she's going to take up her father's heritage? What's next, the younger sister trying to become an Olympic runner?
