Drea de Matteo Talks About Her Decision to Join OnlyFans, Her Struggles in the Workplace, and Her Priorities at Home
Drea de Matteo, best known for her role as Adriana La Cerva on "The Sopranos," recently opened up to fans about her decision to join OnlyFans, the difficulties she's faced in the entertainment industry because of her views on COVID-19 vaccines, and her unwavering dedication to her family.
De Matteo, 51, said that losing her agency was a huge setback for her career and left her in a bind financially. Because she refused to comply with Hollywood's stringent vaccine demands, she came perilously near to losing her home. The actress vented her anger, saying that she felt like a "savage" for going against the grain in her field.
Given these challenges, de Matteo signed up for OnlyFans, a paid community with a wide variety of content (including explicit stuff). Alabama Gypsyrose, 15, and 12-year-old Waylon Albert "Blackjack" were in need of financial support, and she saw this as a way to provide for them. Her former partner, the musician Shooter Jennings, is the father of these kids.
De Matteo charges $15 per month for her OnlyFans subscription and uses the site as a means of disseminating material that fits the site's aesthetic. She justified her decision by saying that her kids have always come first, and she praised those mothers who choose to stay at home with their kids.
de Matteo has not been deterred by the negative feedback she's received about her choice to use OnlyFans to monetize her fan base. She declared herself a "warrior" and her determination to persevere in the face of hardship.
Over the course of his career, De Matteo has played a number of different characters on shows like "The Sopranos," "Joey," and "Desperate Housewives." She admitted that her acting earnings have been minimal, particularly during her first season on "The Sopranos," when she was paid only $500 per episode. However, her pay increased as she became a regular cast member.
It is vital to remember that the cast of "The Sopranos," which originally aired from 1999 to 2007, does not get residuals from the show. As a result, the money she made from performing frequently vanished as quickly as it came.
The fact that De Matteo decided to sign up with OnlyFans speaks everything about her tenacity and resolve. Despite obstacles, she is dedicated to providing for her children, and she is willing to try new things in order to do so while also following her job aspirations.
