Drea De Matteo'S Dramatic Rescue: Onlyfans Saves Her La Home In Just Five Minutes

The Unexpected Lifeline

Drea de Matteo, the actress who brought Adrianna La Cerva to life in the iconic series 'The Sopranos,' found herself facing a real-life drama when financial troubles hit hard. With her bank balance plummeting to a mere $10, de Matteo turned to the popular subscription platform OnlyFans – a move she credits with saving her home and her family. "OnlyFans saved my life, 100 percent," she candidly shared, reflecting on her unexpected journey.

De Matteo, who also graced our screens in hits like 'Friends,' 'Sons of Anarchy,' and 'Desperate Housewives,' faced a professional setback when her agent dropped her due to her vaccination stance. The actress, known for her rebellious spirit and talent, adapted to the circumstances by launching her OnlyFans account, where fans eagerly subscribed for $15 a month, helping her fend off foreclosure in just five minutes.

"They put me into foreclosure and my house had flooded, so I was trying to sell the house quickly," de Matteo shared. "I wanted to try and sell it before they took it."

A New Chapter of Resilience

Initially hesitant about joining the platform, de Matteo embraced the opportunity to connect with fans in a new way. Her quick success on OnlyFans not only prevented her home from slipping away but also paved the way for new ventures. The actress channeled her earnings into launching ULTRAFREE, a streetwear label inspired by her young son, Waylon, with a mission to "make freedom cool again."

This challenging period also brought personal losses and caregiving responsibilities, further fueling her determination. "At the same time, I lost my mom, and my other mom, who has dementia, ran out of money for her caregiver. I didn’t know which way was up," she revealed.

Embracing Her True Self

Opening up about her OnlyFans experience, de Matteo shared a surprising benefit: "I get to be heavier," she laughed, noting how she now indulges in spaghetti, pasta, and steak to prepare for photoshoots. "You want your boobs to be big and your butt to be big. Otherwise, the photos are a snooze fest!" She also addressed critics directly, saying, "Go for it. I just hope you never find yourself in the position I was in to take care of two little kids."

While some might raise eyebrows, de Matteo remains unapologetic about her path, grateful for the chance to rebuild her life and keep providing for her family. "It saved my home of many years that was very important to us," she said, highlighting the deep personal significance of her success.
