Drea de Matteo Dives into OnlyFans and Talks Family Involvement

Drea de Matteo, the beloved star from The Sopranos and Desperate Housewives, is turning heads with her latest revelations about her venture into OnlyFans. In a recent chat on the Not Today, Pal podcast alongside Robert Iler and Jamie-Lynn Sigler, she got candid about her unconventional career move and how her son plays a role in it.

Known for being upfront about the backlash since joining the platform, de Matteo, 52, is also a mom to Waylon “Blackjack” Jennings, 13, and Alabama, 16, with ex-partner Shooter Jennings. What's stirring up conversation? Her son helps edit her OnlyFans photos. While discussing her content creation, de Matteo mentioned that her son is quite involved, saying, "Oh yeah. He’s like, ‘So what do you want me to do with the bikini line here?’"

Navigating Content and Family Dynamics

De Matteo emphasized that there are boundaries in place regarding what her children are exposed to on the platform. "No. But they don’t see the girl shots," she clarified, ensuring that her children have a say in what is shared. "I do go over that with them before I ever put them out…I was like, ‘Are you okay with this?’ Because 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.”

“My kids were the ones that were like, ‘Do it.’ She’ll [Alabama] edit the pictures, too, because they want certain things that we haven't been able to do,” de Matteo revealed.

Her son's involvement is not just limited to editing photos. De Matteo shared that her children have been supportive from the beginning, even encouraging her to sign up for the platform. This unique family dynamic underscores a supportive environment where communication is key.

Facing Financial Realities

Opening up further, de Matteo addressed the financial pressures that led her to OnlyFans. She explained that her financial landscape changed dramatically, stating, "I used to have a lot of money. And then, all of a sudden, I went from being allowed to work to never being allowed to work again." The actress highlighted the importance of providing for her family, saying, "I take care of an entire family and a lot of other people who depend on me."

Her candidness about using OnlyFans as a means to support her family sheds light on the challenges faced by many in the entertainment industry. In response to critics, de Matteo firmly stands her ground, emphasizing the necessity of her choices to ensure her family's well-being.
