‘Sopranos’ star Drea de Matteo admits her 13-year-old son edits her OnlyFans photos
It’s a family effort.
Former “Sopranos” star Drea de Matteo shared how her 13-year-old son, Waylon “Blackjack,” edits her OnlyFans photos for her during an episode of the “Not Today, Pal” podcast.
During a discussion with hosts Robert Iler and Jamie-Lynn Sigler about her content creation, de Matteo momentarily apologized to her children on the other side of the door.
“Blackjack and Alabama. My kids are out there. I’m sorry guys. I’m really sorry. But they know,” she said on July 11.
“Before you start, your son was outside saying he edits your OnlyFans photos,” Iler told de Matteo.
The mom of two responded: “Oh yeah. He’s like, ‘So what do you want me to do with the bikini line here?’”
“Yeah, so you don’t have to apologize to them, I don’t think,” Iler reremarked.
Reflecting on the family dynamic with her new line of work, de Matteo emphasized that she always makes sure her children are comfortable with the circumstances.
“No. But they don’t see the girl shots. But I do go over that with them before I ever put them out,” De Matteo said. “I was like, ‘Are you okay with this?’ 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.”
The actress later opened up about her remarks via Instagram Story. “And for all of you haters out there saying CPS should be sent to my house bc my 13 yr old son edited this photo for my OF fan page — y’all can eat each other alive with all your psycho self righteous hatred,” she wrote.
De Matteo opened up to Fox News in September about how her decision to embrace OnlyFans was driven by financial necessity and professional challenges exacerbated by her stance against the COVID vaccine.
According to the Emmy winner, she was forced to “switch careers and figure new things out because my own industry thinks I’m a savage.”
“I used to have a lot of money. And then, all of a sudden, I went from being allowed to work to never being allowed to work again. I was never the kind of actor that took jobs just to stay in the business. I literally took jobs to feed my family,” she shared at the time.
De Matteo added: “So, when people make nasty comments about why I would have done that, my response is, ‘Damn straight, I hope you’re never in the f – – king position I’m in. I take care of an entire family and a lot of other people who depend on me.'”
Despite initial setbacks, joining OnlyFans has been pivotal for the “Sons of Anarchy” alum and her family.
In an interview with Daily Mail, she said that after 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.
“They put me into foreclosure, and my house had flooded, so I was trying to sell the house quickly,” she explained. “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 s – – t.”
Beyond her Emmy-winning role on “The Sopranos,” de Matteo’s career spans films such as “Broken English” and “Dark Places.” She’s also starred in TV series such as “Mayans M.C.” and “A Million Little Things.”
“The Sopranos” is available to stream on Max.
