Summary

Emmy winner Drea de Matteo (The Sopranos) made headlines when she was cancelled by Hollywood for resisting vaccine mandates, leaving her with $10 in her bank account. Desperate to care for her kids, Drea joined OnlyFans at age 51 – and says within 5 minutes, supporters had rallied enough to save her house from foreclosure. Some reports estimate she’s now earning over $500,000 a month on the platform. Drea says she makes more money from OnlyFans in 1 month than her entire career playing Adriana La Cerva on The Sopranos. “It saved us,” Drea told DailyMail. “Anybody that wants to condemn me and put me down, go for it. I just hope you never find yourself in the position I was in to take care of two little kids. It saved my home… And beyond all that, it has given me enough money to start up and finance Ultrafree.” Drea de Matteo is an Emmy-award winning actress from The Sopranos. She launched a new clothing line called ULTRAFREE, dedicated to free speech and free thinking.
