Kim Kardashian's brain scan uncovers troubling 'holes' causing low activity

Kim Kardashian is publicly sharing her struggles with her brain health.

The reality star, 45, made the decision to get a brain scan after learning that she may have an aneurysm, and when her doctor was reviewing the results, he found that she has "holes" in her brain.

She visited the doctor with Scott Disick, as seen in the latest episode of the family's reality show, "The Kardashians," to "see what my brain looks like." The two underwent the scans, then psychiatrist Dr. Daniel Amen met with them to go over their results.

He started by telling Kardashian that she has a "beautiful brain," and that it's "not a brain that gets Alzheimer's."

"You are extraordinary in being positive," Dr. Amen continued, "which is why you're not terribly stressed, anxious or depressed."

He showed her another view from the scan, and she asked, "What are those holes?"

"Yeah, I don't like that," he admitted. "So what the holes mean is low activity … the front part of your brain is less active than it should be. With your frontal lobes as they work now, it would be harder to manage stress. That's not good for you, especially as you're studying and getting ready to take the boards."

At the time of filming, Kardashian was gearing up to take the California bar exam – she later revealed that she failed.

When discussing the results of the scan later, she told the camera, "That just can't be. It just can't. Not accepting."

"It could be the chronic stress that you've been under, trying to think about taking the boards in a couple months and studying 10 hours a day, not to mention all the other things that go on in your life," Dr. Amen explained. "But we have to make it better."

Kardashian took the bar exam in July, and earlier this month, she opened up about her results.

"Well...I'm not a lawyer yet, I just play a very well-dressed one on TV," she wrote. "Six years into this law journey, and I'm still all in until I pass the bar. No shortcuts, no giving up - just more studying and even more determination."

"Thank you to everyone who has supported and encouraged me along the way so far," she added. "Falling short isn't failure — it's fuel. I was so close to passing the exam and that only motivated me even more. Let's go!"

Kardashian began her journey toward becoming a lawyer in 2018, when she entered California’s Law Office Study Program, which allows aspiring lawyers to apprentice under licensed attorneys instead of attending law school.

In 2021, the former "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" star announced she had passed California's "baby bar" exam in 2021 after three failed attempts. Kardashian completed her six-year program in May.

New video emerges of DC National Guard shooting as soldier clings to life

Dramatic eyewitness video has emerged showing the part of the brazen daylight ambush attack that left one National Guard member dead in Washington, D.C., and another fighting for his life.

The footage, taken by an eyewitness in a passing vehicle and obtained by the Wall Street Journal, shows a man in dark clothing with what appears to be a revolver in his hand, as two Guardsmen scramble for cover.

One Guardsman can then be seen sprinting around a corner down a street and returning fire. Afghan national Rahmanullah Lakanwal, 29, has been named as a suspect.

The horrific scene, which took place about three blocks north of the White House, captures Lakanwal raising his arm. Seconds later, he opened fire on two West Virginia National Guard members, the outlet reported.

The video then briefly captures the fallen troops lying on the sidewalk. The incident, which has rocked the nation, unfolded on 17th Street NW near Farragut West Metro Station at around 2:15 p.m.

The shooter fired off 10 to 15 rounds with a .357 revolver, according to federal charging documents cited by Reuters.

Police said that one of the Guardsmen returned fire, hitting the suspect and ending the ambush.

Specialist Sarah Beckstrom died from her injuries on Thursday while Staff Sergeant Andrew Wolfe remains in critical condition.  

Lakanwal entered the United States in September 2021 under Operation Allies Welcome, the Biden administration’s Afghan evacuation and resettlement program. Prosecutors say he traveled across the country shortly before the attack and had no prior criminal record.

He now faces charges including first-degree murder and two counts of assault with intent to kill while armed. Attorney General Pam Bondi has said the Department of Justice intends to seek the death penalty.

Beckstrom and Wolfe are members of the West Virginia National Guard, which was deployed to the nation’s capital to tackle crime in the city following an executive order from President Donald Trump earlier this year.

Rep. Riley Moore, R-W.Va., said Saturday told "FOX & Friends Weekend" on Saturday that Wolfe is "hanging on," adding that his family is calling for prayer. 

"His father is a deputy sheriff in the county next to mine and Andy wanted to follow in [those] footsteps and serve his nation as a National Guardsman," Moore told "FOX & Friends Weekend."

"Andy is hanging on. And he is a fighter and his family has told me that time and time again, he is a fighter," Moore added. "But above all what they want here is for everybody to continue to pray. I believe in the power of prayer and I can promise you his parents believe in the power of prayer... Please keep praying."

West Virginia Gov. Patrick Morrisey also told "Fox & Friends Weekend" on Saturday that, "Andrew is fighting for his life right now, and his family and all of his friends, they're trying to harvest as many prayers as possible from all across the country, all across the globe, to help him recover."

Morrisey said Wolfe's condition, as of Saturday, "remains very serious."

"West Virginia cares very deeply about its Guard. And there's just a proud tradition of West Virginians who step up from military service. So when something like this happens, it's really a gut punch to the communities," Morrisey added. 

"Most importantly, we need justice to be served. That's critical. I think West Virginians are counting on that. Americans are counting on that," he told Fox News.
