Drea De Matteo'S Bold Move: Onlyfans As A Defiant Stand

Drea de Matteo Makes a Splash with OnlyFans

In a move that's turning heads even in the land of Hollywood glitz, actress Drea de Matteo has dived into OnlyFans, framing it as more than just a business decision. The 54-year-old star, known for her iconic role as Adriana La Cerva on The Sopranos, has joined the adults-only subscription platform not only to keep her home but as what she describes as a "political statement."

Rebel with a Cause

During a chat on Jamie Kennedy’s Hate to Break It to Ya podcast, Drea revealed her motivations. "In some ways, the OnlyFans page was almost like a political statement on my part," she shared. "It was like, ‘F*** you. I don’t need to work for your f****** corporation.’" This bold move comes in the wake of losing work opportunities due to her stance against COVID-19 vaccine mandates.

“Honestly, we were going to use the Only Fans platform to start a podcast because I was afraid that I’d be censored too much to talk about stuff, you know, just out there in the world.”

Breaking Financial Myths

Despite her fame from The Sopranos, Drea insists that the glamorous image of financial security is a myth in her case. "People think I’m made of f****** money," she confesses, pointing out that she lives a "pretty f****** normal life." The actress took to OnlyFans to lift a hefty $75,000 lien from her home after pandemic-induced financial strains and shared that just a bikini picture was enough to meet that goal within minutes.

More Than Just a Money Move

While the platform has significantly helped her financially, Drea hints at broader aspirations. "We were going to use the Only Fans platform to start a podcast," she said, revealing her interest in bypassing potential censorship. Much of her following on OnlyFans, she believes, is driven by fans of her memorable role as Adriana. "The OnlyFans thing, I always say, it’s Adriana’s fan page because people love her," Drea commented.
