Drea de Matteo's Teen Son Edits Her OnlyFans Content - A Family Affair!
It's not every day you hear about a teenager editing their parent's risqué content, but for actress Drea de Matteo, it's all in a day's work. The "Sopranos" star recently shared a surprising revelation on the "Not Today, Pal" podcast, disclosing that her 13-year-old son, Waylon "Blackjack," plays a pivotal role in editing her OnlyFans photos.
During the podcast discussion with hosts Robert Iler and Jamie-Lynn Sigler, Matteo paused to offer a quick apology to her son and 16-year-old daughter, Alabama, who were waiting just outside the door. "Blackjack and Alabama - my kids are out there - I'm sorry, guys," Matteo, 52, expressed. "I'm really sorry. But they know."
Surprisingly, Blackjack had already spilled the beans to Iler before the show, revealing his involvement in editing his mother's content. "He's like, 'So what do you want me to do with the bikini line here?'" Matteo shared, showcasing the unique collaboration between mother and son.
Despite the unconventional nature of their partnership, Matteo ensured that her children were comfortable with her content before diving into this new career endeavor. She clarified that her kids do not view the more intimate shots and that she always discusses and seeks their approval before sharing such content.
Matteo justified her OnlyFans venture by drawing parallels to her past movie roles, emphasizing that the content she creates isn't a significant departure from her previous on-screen performances. "Because it's like, if I were to do it in a movie, because I would make out with girls in movies all day long before I'd even make out with boys," she explained.
In a candid interview with Fox News in September 2023, Matteo revealed that financial strain led her to join the subscription-based platform. Encouraged by her children, Matteo took the plunge into OnlyFans, with her daughter even assisting in editing the photos to meet specific preferences.
Reflecting on the impact of OnlyFans on her life, Matteo shared a remarkable success story. The "Sons of Anarchy" star disclosed that the earnings from her account enabled her to pay off her mortgage debt in February 2024, providing financial stability for her family.
Matteo recounted a pivotal moment when her house faced foreclosure due to flooding, but within minutes of posting certain photos, she managed to generate enough income to prevent the sale. "I was like, 'Holy s--t.' In five minutes, I was able to pay back Compass Real Estate who kept the sale of my house," she recounted.
Matteo's journey into OnlyFans isn't an isolated case in the entertainment industry. Several other celebrities, including Disney alum Bella Thorne, Coco Austin, Lily Allen, and Denise Richards, have also leveraged the platform to share exclusive content and boost their income.
With her son playing a surprising role in her content creation process, Drea de Matteo's OnlyFans venture showcases a unique blend of family support and unconventional career choices. As she continues to navigate this new chapter, Matteo's story serves as a testament to the evolving landscape of digital content creation and the diverse paths individuals take to secure their financial well-being.
