Drea de Matteo's foray into Onlyfans: A lifeline amidst controversy

Actress Drea de Matteo, known for her roles in the series "Sopranos" and "Sons of Anarchy," is currently supplementing her income by being active on a popular platform known for explicit content.

Last year, Emmy-winning actress Drea de Matteo revealed she had created an OnlyFans account. Her refusal to take the COVID-19 vaccine allegedly led to a lack of acting offers. In February, the star of the "Sopranos" and "Sons of Anarchy" series confessed in an interview with the "Daily Mail" that this decision saved her family from financial ruin. The star is the mother of 13-year-old Waylon, who has the nickname "Blackjack," and 16-year-old Alabama.

De Matteo stated: "OnlyFans saved my life, 100 percent. I can't believe I'm saying that, but it really did save us." She added: "Anybody that wants to condemn me and put me down, go for it. I just hope you never find yourself in the position I was in to take care of two little kids. It saved my home of many years that was very important to us." On 21 July, at an interview for 6ixBuzzTv, the actress revealed more details about managing her account on the adult content platform.

Regarding her "really f***ing spicy" content, including sexy photos and videos featuring her, 52-year-old De Matteo explained that she recently started creating "girl-on-girl" content for her subscribers. She confirmed what one of the interviewers had heard earlier from her 13-year-old son, namely, that he edits some of the photos the actress posts on the platform.

De Matteo admitted that her son sometimes asks: "So what do you want me to do with the bikini line here?" She added: "But they don't see the girl shots." However, she also confessed that the kids know she releases such content. She commented: "It’s like if I were to do it in a movie, because I would make out with girls in movies all day long. Before I’d even make out with boys."

Next, De Matteo proudly showed the hosts one of the editions done by her son, then admitted that she laughed about some of the subscribers' requests with her children. She stated: "When people want, like, a three-minute feet video — to me, that’s weird," she said. "When they give you a time for the video. Me and my son, the kids, we laugh about that shit, y’know? It’s so weird."
