5. Prepaid Debit Debacle
If being a Kardashian lawyer doesn’t encourage more people to go to law school, this next story might do the trick. The Kardashian sisters agreed to promote a prepaid debit card company’s services by saying nice things about it in the public. After pulling back the curtain a bit, consumer watchdog groups and the Connecticut Attorney General realized something fishy was going on. Honestly, they were probably the last to realize it.

The company that made the debit cards had all kinds of hidden fees that sapped customers of their money before they even got to spend it. Once the Kardashians realized that promoting the cards, mostly at teenagers, was a terrible idea, they backed out, talking smack about the card publicly. The Kardashian lawyers argued that the Kardashians had a 1st Amendment right to speak negatively about a product and a judge agreed and threw out the company’s $75 million lawsuit. Not surprisingly, the debit card company went straight bankrupt. Another Kardashian casualty.
