Actress Drea De Matteo, renowned for her role in The Sopranos, has gone public about her choice to join OnlyFans, the subscription-based platform famous for its adult content. De Matteo dismisses the popular belief that her acting career has made her wealthy, stating she’s worked from gig to gig for years.
Her decision to join the platform comes amid the pandemic’s impact on film production and her personal vaccine stance affecting her work opportunities. She emphasizes that her primary concern is her children, as their father, musician Shooter Jennings, is often on tour.
De Matteo isn’t fazed by any public criticism of her move to OnlyFans, saying she’d rather safeguard her family than worry about her reputation. She even faced the potential loss of her home and employment opportunities, largely due to her vaccine stance.
The Emmy-winning actress, who famously portrayed Adriana on The Sopranos, has also appeared on other hit shows like Desperate Housewives and Sons of Anarchy. But right now, she sees herself as a “warrior” mom, unafraid to defy norms or mandates to provide for her family.
