Drea de Matteo’s Bold Move to OnlyFans

Hey there, drama lovers! If you’ve been wondering what’s new with Drea de Matteo, the Emmy-winning star from The Sopranos, we’ve got some spicy tea for you. Drea recently opened up about her surprising career shift to OnlyFans in late August, and let’s just say, it’s not the path most Hollywood stars take.

Turns out, her vocal opposition to workplace COVID vaccine mandates stirred up quite the storm in Tinseltown. Acting roles dried up faster than a desert sunset, pushing her to rethink her entire game plan. Who knew standing by your beliefs could come with such a hefty price tag?

A Career Hit by Controversy

In a candid chat with Fox News Digital, Drea didn’t hold back on how the past few years flipped her world upside down. “Things have changed in the last three years,” she shared, hinting at the unexpected career detour she’s had to navigate. “I didn’t know that during a time I’m supposed to be relaxing a bit, I’d have to switch careers because my own industry thinks I’m a bit of a rebel.”

“I refuse to be at the mercy of mandates or strikes ever again,” Drea confessed, explaining her pivot to OnlyFans as a way to take control of her future.

Her stance on the mandates - which she’s been very open about on social media - seems to have painted her as the ultimate Hollywood “bad girl.” And while she’s not apologizing for her views, the fallout has been real. Since the pandemic hit, Drea’s screen time has been limited to a handful of small films and a reprisal of her Sons of Anarchy role as Wendy in the final season of Mayans MC.

Personal Struggles and a New Path

But wait, there’s more to this story than just a career switch. Drea got real about the personal toll this controversy took, revealing she was dropped by her agent and nearly lost her home due to the lack of acting income. “People find it hard to believe that I was never really paid very much for the jobs I’ve done,” she admitted, busting the myth that all TV stars are rolling in dough.

Balancing motherhood with a career hasn’t been easy either. With her kids’ dad, musician Shooter Jennings, often on the road, Drea’s turned down plenty of roles just to be there for her little ones. “I’ve worked job to job,” she said, painting a picture of a life far from the glitz and glam we often imagine.

So, what’s next for this fierce mama and boundary-pusher? OnlyFans might just be the start of Drea carving out a space where she calls the shots. We’re rooting for her to keep slaying, no matter the platform - stay tuned for more updates on this captivating star!
