I think it's a couple of things. People criticize Kim because:
1. She's a Kardashian. In fact, she's "the" Kardashian" that propelled their family to stardom with her sex tape. For better or worse, people have trouble reconciling sex tape turned reality star with an intelligent, practicing lawyer.
2. Kim doesn't have an undergraduate degree, presumably isn't taking the LSATs or going to law school and somehow she can get the same job as someone who did at least 7 years of schooling in the U.S. People will find that unfair.
3. Her apprenticeship is done around her schedule and most normal people would never have that sort of flexibility. Money is also no issue for her - she's doing it out of interest/for publicity/whatever other personal motivation she might have. I think that can genuinely upset the people who are doing this to earn a living to support their families, struggling to pay back student loans, etc.
Ultimately, I think if Kim somehow manages to swing it and actually uses it for good, then good for her. You can argue it's unfair, she's privileged, or shouldn't qualify but rules are rules and if it works out and she's making a positive impact, I wouldn't want to be someone who criticizes her for it.
Eleanor Florence Lecocq, however, is a completely different case. She went for a law degree that needs to be legitimized here (and even then, is usually easier to get into/not as respected here in North America) and even after taking the BC bar and a LLM, meaning she can actually practice as a lawyer, she chose to take on a job (fraud investigator at a government agency) that doesn't require the degree at all (none of her colleagues with her job title/role have a law degree). This would be completely fine if she was honest about it but she built an entire channel and business upon her lie of pretending to be a young, female lawyer when she isn't (she often talked about her long days as a "working lawyer" and how "that's just how it is for us lawyers"). She then proceeds to tell everyone she's an in-house counsel (going as far as to including it in her linkedin title after leaving that job) when she clearly ISN'T (there's a screenshot on one of these threads where she worked on a case with someone who was actually in-house counsel and they were actually called that on the records while she was referred to as investigator so clearly their jobs are different). She then spent most of her time on buying the nth cashmere sweater and taking advantage of men who made decent money and waiting for a proposal. She never used her law degree and lied about her job, all of which to look good and scam people on the internet by selling an image of professional woman in law (which she isn't), and that's why people can't stand her. If she actually took that foreign law degree and did the proper training, and actually practiced as a lawyer at a legit place and worked hard, I don't think people would be nearly as critical.
