Drea de Matteo is perhaps known to most people as mafia wife Adriana La Cerva in the TV series “The Sopranos”.
During de Matteo’s five seasons on the award-winning HBO series, the appearance of Matteo was often part of the series. This was particularly evident when FBI agents surveilled her character during a tennis lesson in the episode “Mr. Ruggerio’s Neighborhood”.
In August, many were surprised when Matteo announced that she had created a user on Onlyfans.
The website enables creators on the internet to charge for the content they post, but the site is perhaps best known for users who charge for bold content.

According to de Matteo, her agent fired her and it became difficult to get more jobs in Hollywood after she did not want to take the corona vaccine.
– I guess you could say I was a bad girl because I didn’t follow the rules a couple of years ago. So I will not be at the mercy of injunctions or strikes or anything like that ever again, Matteo said last year Fox News.
The actor says that it didn’t take long for the interest, and the money started to flow in.
– I thought: ‘Oh my God!’. In five minutes I was able to pay back those who held back the sale of my house, writes New York Post.

Hitting back at the criticism
To those who judge Matteo for his new source of income, she has the following message:
– If someone wants to condemn me and lash out at me, then be nice. I just hope you never end up in the situation I was in when I had to take care of two small children.

De Matteo has previously been open about financial challenges and has said that at the beginning of “The Sopranos” she only earned $500 per episode.
According to her, the actors who were in the series also do not earn “royalties” after the series.
“Royalties” are a form of remuneration that can be paid for the use or display of, among other things, TV programs and music.
Matteo has also had roles in well-known TV series such as Frustrerte Fruer and “Sons of Anarchy”.
