After Revealing That OnlyFans Saved Her From Financial Ruin, “Sopranos” Star Drea De Matteo Has Said That Her 13-Year-Old Son Edits Her "Racy" Photos

In February, the Sopranos and Sons of Anarchy alum said that this decision ended up saving her and her family from financial ruin. 

In fact, Drea said that despite having just $10 in her bank account before joining the adult site, she made all of the money that she needed to save her home within five minutes of signing up. 

Speaking in a video interview with the Daily Mail, Drea explained: “They put me into foreclosure, and my house had flooded, so I was trying to sell the house quickly. At the same time, I lost my mom, and my other mom, who has dementia, had run out of money for her caregiver. I didn't know which way was up.”

“I kept putting more pictures up,” she recalled of the day that she joined. “I was like, holy shit."

Drea also admitted that she had initially been reluctant to join the platform, and that she and her partner originally planned to use it for a podcast idea that they anticipated would be so “controversial” they wanted to keep it behind a paywall so as not to be “destroyed in the media for it.”

“That was what it was going to be originally, you know, like with him rubbing my feet because you have to add a little something for OnlyFans in there,” she said at the time.

Discussing her “really fucking racy” content, which includes sexy photos and videos of herself, the 52-year-old star explained that she had recently started to pursue girl-on-girl content for her subscribers.

Realizing that her kids could hear the entire conversation on the other side of the door, Drea quickly apologized to them. The star is mom to 13-year-old Waylon, who goes by the nickname “Blackjack,” and 16-year-old Alabama.

After Robert and Jamie-Lynn asked to see some of her recent photos, Drea went into detail about the “girl-on-girl collabs” as she happily scrolled through her phone to give them a sneak peek — confirming that she wouldn’t show them ones that she is fully naked in. 

But Robert immediately interjected, telling Drea: “Before you start, your son was outside saying he edits your OnlyFans photos! So you don’t have to apologize to them, I don’t think.”

Drea then confirmed that what Blackjack had told Robert is true, laughing as she explained: “Oh yeah, he’s like: ‘So what do you want me to do with the bikini line here?’”

“But they don’t see the girl shots,” she then clarified. “I do go over that with them before I ever put them out. I’m always like: ‘Are you OK with this?’”

“It’s like if I were to do it in a movie, because I would make out with girls in movies all day long,” Drea then pointed out. “Before I’d even make out with boys.” 

“When people want, like, a three-minute feet video — to me, that’s weird,” she said. “When they give you a time for the video. Me and my son, the kids, we laugh about that shit, y’know? It’s so weird."

Elsewhere on the podcast, Drea, Robert, and Jamie-Lynn reminisced over 25 years of The Sopranos, which premiered in 1999.
