Personal Life: DUI Incident

As documented on Keeping Up with the Kardashians on the November 12, 2007 episode entitled “Remembering Dad,” Kardashian was arrested for driving under the influence. The show did not capture the actual incident, but was a re-enactment. The show suggested that Kardashian’s actions were the result of her difficulties coping with the anniversary of her father’s death.

On July 18, 2008, Kardashian reported to jail to serve time for violation of probation for her DUI incident. She faced a sentence of up to 30 days and enrollment in an alcohol treatment program within three weeks of her release from jail. She was released from jail less than three hours later due to overcrowding. In an interview with PR.com after her DUI arrest, Kardashian stated, “I’m still grateful that this happened to me, because I’m the one that gets to now really teach my family. I’ve learned a lot and now I’m always the advocate to my friends.”
