Kim Kardashian has potentially risked the wrath of the very industry she so badly wants to be a part of with the release of her new drama All’s Fair on Disney+ this week.
The businesswoman and lawyer in training, 45, stars alongside Sarah Paulson, Naomi Watts, Glenn Close, Niecy Nash and Teyana Taylor in the series which follows a team of high-powered female attorneys who leave their firm to start their own company.
Meanwhile in real life, Kim will soon find out if she has passed the bar exam which will mean she can fulfill her dreams of being a legal professional.
Kim plays the part of Allura Grant on the show as she vows to destroy her younger husband who married her for money.
And in response to the show Kate Daly, divorce expert and co-founder of online divorce services company amicable, has exclusively told The Daily Mail that this type of show can ‘perpetuate damaging myths about divorce’ and ‘glorifying hostility over healing’.
She told The Daily Mail: ‘All’s Fair plays into the trope that divorce is a fight to the death, when in reality, for many couples, it’s a chance to start fresh and build healthier futures.

‘When divorce is portrayed as a war, it teaches people to expect one. By perpetuating the myth that divorce should be combative, Hollywood fuels a culture that glorifies hostility over healing – while great for ratings, this is damaging in real life.’
She continued: ‘The real cost of conflict goes far beyond legal fees: it drains emotional energy, damages relationships and makes co-parenting infinitely harder.
‘It’s time we started showing that separation can be done differently. Divorce and separation are life transitions that many of us go through, and shouldn’t be treated as an opportunity to revel in people’s misery as a form of entertainment.
‘Divorce really isn’t a dirty word. And it doesn’t need to be handled destructively. With the right approach, it be handled calmly and constructively. Many people describe the process as an emotional release, a chance to move forward with dignity.’
In many ways Kim’s role as Allura mirrors parts of her real life having been through three divorces herself – with some being more amicable than others.
This week she said divorce was ‘such a relatable topic’ and had experience of it ‘with my family and parents growing up’.
She was married to Damon Thomas from 2000 to 2004, Kris Humphries from 2011 to 2013 and most recently to Kanye West from 2014 to 2022.
Kim and Kris famously split 72 days after their wedding and their would be trouble to follow.

Kim initially stated she and Kris remained friends, but their split became contentious when Humphries filed for an annulment, claiming fraud instead of a divorce.
The legal battle lasted for over a year before the divorce was finalized.
While her split from Kanye became toxic due to disagreements over their kids and his increasingly erratic public and online behaviour.
As well as mirroring storylines, Kim aspires to be a lawyer herself imminently.
She appeared on the Graham Norton show last week, where she revealed, ‘I took the bar exam in July. I get the results a few days after our [All’s Fair] premiere. So in two weeks. So everyone please pray for me. I worked really hard.’
As she awaits the results of the bar exam, she could be days away from fulfilling her longtime dream to be a legal professional.
The reality television star-turned-mogul estimated, ‘Maybe in 10 years, I think I’ll give up being Kim K and be a trial lawyer. That’s what I really want.’
Kim has spent six years working on a law apprenticeship – the unconventional path that allowed her to bypass law school – before officially wrapping the program on May 21, 2025.
She passed the ‘baby bar’ on her fourth try in December 2021, clearing the first major hurdle on her way to becoming a licensed attorney.
Later she faced the notoriously brutal California bar, considered the hardest in the nation, with one of the lowest pass rates.

Kim took the two-day exam in July, answering 200 multiple-choice questions, five essay prompts, and one 90-minute performance test, according to TMZ.
She will find out the results on November 7, just two days before they’re made public on November 9 at 6pm PT.
The SKIMS founder is following in her late father Robert Kardashian’s footsteps in her pursuit of becoming a lawyer.
Her dad was a revered defense attorney, most notably for O.J. Simpson during his 1995 murder trial.
Robert died in July 2003 from esophageal cancer at age 59.
This week Kim said practising divorce law is not in her future and that her law interests are elsewhere.
She told The BBC that she is ‘more into criminal justice and reform work’ adding, ‘I don’t think I can ever really do family law’.
‘It was the wildest idea that I was going to law school – but to me it all makes sense and I hope that I’m forever curious and always want to try new things,’ she said.
However when it comes to All’s Fair, after watching the pilot, many viewers were left baffled by Kim’s prominent role in a series starring award-winning actresses.

Her performance was called ‘stiff’ and ‘monotone’ with another fan writing on X, ‘Kim Kardashian cannot act and she need to stop touching her face.’
‘Lmao Kim is so monotone I can’t,’ another wrote.
‘Trying to watch All’s Fair but I cant with Kim Kardashian,’ another added.
‘All those amazing actors and Ryan Murphy puts Kim Kardashian in it too…. WTAF?????#AllsFair’
‘Why is she so stiff?’ one questioned.
‘Need to understand why Ryan Murphy entertains Kim Kardashians acting career.’
‘Yeah casting Kim Kardashian was the worst mistake they could’ve made for this show… it ruins the tone immediately because she cannot act. WHY WHY WHY,’ another asked.
‘Damn Kim K really can’t act lol, she’s so monotone… you can tell she’s acting nth comes natural.’
The episode started out with Kim as Allura, and Naomi, who plays Liberty Ronson, ten years prior, as they air their frustration about women not being taken seriously at male dominated law firms.
