Sopranos' Drea de Matteo, 52, credits racy content for saving her home

Drea de Matteo has revealed that OnlyFans saved her from financial ruin and helped her keep her home. The actress, known for her role in The Sopranos, shared that she had only $10 in her bank account before she started selling racy content on the subscription site.

After losing acting opportunities due to her refusal to get the Covid vaccine, the 52-year-old struggled to make ends meet and support her two children and mother with dementia. However, her adult content on OnlyFans sold so well that she was able to pay off her mortgage debt in just five minutes. Drea has even started a streetwear business called ULTRAFREE thanks to the success of her racy snaps.

"It saved us, OnlyFans saved my life, 100%. I can't believe I'm saying that, but it really did save us," Drea told the Daily Mail. Despite facing criticism for her new career path, she remains unapologetic and determined to continue her success on the platform.

"I just hope you never have to experience the situation I was in, having to care for two young children. It was a lifesaver for our cherished home that we had lived in for many years."

Drea remembered that when she started her OnlyFans account in August 2023, she only had $10 in her bank account and couldn't afford the large payments she owed to debt collectors after taking a forbearance to assist with her mortgage payments.

Drea faced the threat of losing her home to foreclosure and tried desperately to sell the flooded property before it was taken from her. Adding to her troubles, her mother, who suffers from dementia, had exhausted her funds for a caregiver.

However, everything changed when Drea began posting provocative images on her OnlyFans account. She was amazed by how quickly she earned a significant amount of money. "I couldn't believe it. Within five minutes, I was able to repay Compass Real Estate and save my house from being sold," she exclaimed.

Drea initially hesitated to join OnlyFans, intending to use her account to start a podcast with her husband discussing controversial topics while he massaged her feet. However, she ultimately decided to share some explicit content on the platform instead. Despite facing criticism for her decision, Drea found that her posts gained widespread attention and sparked a frenzy.

While she initially turned to OnlyFans for financial reasons, she now finds satisfaction in sharing sexy photos of herself on the platform.

Drea has admitted that while the images may be edited, she still believes she looks good overall. She is working hard to improve her appearance for her fans by gaining weight. She enjoys being able to eat more before photo shoots in order to look better.

Drea has been following an Italian carb-loading diet of pasta and steak to achieve a more voluptuous look, emphasizing the importance of having big boobs and a big butt for more exciting photos.
