Alright, folks, let me set the stage for you. New Jersey's own rock icon, Jon Bon Jovi, isn’t holding back when it comes to his thoughts on modern celebrity culture and reality TV. In a candid interview with Lisa Wilkinson on The Sunday Project, the legendary rocker let loose about the world of reality stars like Kim Kardashian and the Bravo franchise, Real Housewives. His take? Let’s just say he’s not a fan.

Jon Bon Jovi Blasts Reality TV and Modern Fame

Now, Jon Bon Jovi, who’s been rocking the charts since the '80s, is no stranger to fame. But in this day and age, he's seeing a shift in how celebrities are made, and he’s not loving it. According to the Daily Mail, the 56-year-old singer had a lot to say about the reality TV phenomenon. “I think it’s horrific that we live in that world,” Jon said, clearly not mincing words. “I can tell you I’ve never given 60 seconds of my life, EVER, to one of those Housewives of Blah Blah and Kardashians,” he added, emphasizing just how little interest he has in these shows.

For Jon, it’s not just about the lack of appeal; it’s about the substance—or lack thereof. “I don’t know their names, I’ve never watched 60 seconds of the show, it’s not for me,” he said. It’s clear that Jon values authenticity and talent over the spectacle that reality TV often provides.

Jon Bon Jovi Takes Aim at Kim Kardashian

Jon didn’t stop there. He had some choice words for another reality TV giant—Kim Kardashian. Kim’s rise to fame began back in 2007 with the leak of a sex tape featuring her then-boyfriend, R&B singer Ray J. Jon wasn’t shy about sharing his thoughts on her fame. “What’s gonna be in your autobiography? ‘I made a porno and guess what I got famous.’ F–k, sorry, I’ll pass,” he said bluntly. It’s clear that Jon believes there’s more to fame than just being on TV.

Where’s the Talent?

Jon continued to voice his frustrations, pointing out that many celebrities today aren’t famous because of their talents but because they’re simply on reality TV. “Go and write a book, paint a painting, act, study, sing, play write,” he urged. For Jon, fame should be a byproduct of hard work and talent, not a result of being on a reality show. “Fame is a byproduct of writing a good song,” he emphasized.

A Legacy of Talent

Jon rose to fame in the 1980s with his rock band Bon Jovi, and they’ve been making waves ever since. With 13 studio albums under their belt and world tours that showcase hits like “You Give Love A Bad Name,” “Runaway,” and “It’s My Life,” it’s clear that Jon knows a thing or two about talent and hard work. In 2009, he and his longtime friend and co-songwriter Richie Sambora were inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame, further cementing their legacy in the music industry.
