Former Sopranos star Drea de Matteo has joined the ranks of celebrities turning to OnlyFans for financial gain, crediting the platform with helping her pay off her house and even declaring that it saved her life. The 52-year-old actress, who found herself out of work due to her refusal to get vaccinated for Covid-19 and facing financial challenges in caring for a parent with dementia, claims she had only $10 in her bank account before trying out OnlyFans.
In an exclusive interview with the Daily Mail, De Matteo revealed, “It saved us. OnlyFans saved my life, 100 percent. I can’t believe I’m saying that, but it really did save us.” Despite potential criticism, she expressed her hope that others never find themselves in a similar position of having to care for two young children.
De Matteo, who shares a son and daughter with musician Shooter Jennings, narrated her struggles, including being in foreclosure and dealing with a flooded house. The financial strain intensified as she lost her mother, and her other mom, suffering from dementia, ran out of money for her caregiver.
Initially hesitant, De Matteo uploaded risqué photos to OnlyFans, and the financial response was swift. “I kept putting more pictures up,” she said. “In five minutes, I was able to pay back [the real estate company] who kept the sale of my house.” She expressed newfound empowerment and satisfaction in sharing these photos, emphasizing their authenticity by revealing behind-the-scenes glimpses during live photoshoot sessions.
It’s noteworthy that De Matteo has undergone a political awakening in recent years, aligning with anti-vaccine conspiracy theories. Despite this, her OnlyFans venture has brought both financial relief and a sense of empowerment.
