He was particularly harsh about the reality shows "Real Housewives" and targetted Kim Kardashian personally, reported the Daily Mail on October 28, 2018.

'I think it's horrific that we live in that world and I can tell you I've never given 60 seconds of my life, EVER, to one of those Housewives of Blah Blah and Kardashians.'

FAMOUS FOR BEING FAMOUS

Bon Jovi pointed out that today's celebrities are simply famous for being famous and consist of people who gained notoriety for exposing their personal lives to a voyeuristic society.

For him, he said, anyone worth their celebrity status should go out and achieve something trully noteworthy on their own merit; write a song or a book, paint a picture, make a movie.

“WHAT'S GONNA BE IN YOUR AUTOBIOGRAPHY? ‘I MADE A PORNO AND GUESS WHAT I GOT FAMOUS.’"

Referring in particular to Kim Kardashian, Bon Jovi attributed her claim to fame to the notorious 2007 sex tape that was leaked by a former lover and first brought her to the public's attention.
