Drea de Matteo, best known for her Emmy-winning role as Adriana La Cerva in The Sopranos, has officially joined the ranks of OnlyFans models. After years of being a staple on TV, Matteo decided to switch gears in 2023, launching her subscription-based page and leaving behind her Hollywood past. And the move is paying off big time. The actress recently revealed that she’s earned more from sharing photos and videos on OnlyFans than she ever made in over a decade on screen.

In an interview with Metro.co.uk, the 52-year-old actress shared that the transition from Hollywood to the adult-content platform shocked many fans, but the actress’s financial struggles painted a different picture behind her decision.

From Broke to Banking Big

It all started when Drea de Matteo found herself blacklisted in Hollywood, a consequence of her outspoken stance against COVID-19 vaccination. The once sought-after actress found herself at odds with the industry, with roles drying up and her income evaporating. 

Without the steady stream of acting gigs, things quickly went downhill for the star. Since joining OnlyFans, Drea’s fortunes have dramatically reversed. She’s gone on to earn more than she ever did while starring in The Sopranos, one of TV’s most beloved shows. The actress recently disclosed that she had earned $50,000 in tips on the platform in just a few months. 

That’s not all—her page has garnered over 119,000 likes, and if even half of those viewers subscribe at $15 a month, she could be earning close to $885,000 every month. Those numbers are nothing short of astonishing for a star who once had just $10 in her bank account. The actress told DayliMail how OnlyFans allowed her to catch up on mortgage payments, saving her home from being taken away.

Joining the Celebrity OnlyFans Club

De Matteo isn’t the only Hollywood name to jump on the OnlyFans train. Celebrities like Bella Thorne and Cardi B have already blazed a trail in the world of adult content creation, turning their fame into serious money-making ventures. Thorne famously earned $1 million in just 24 hours on the platform, while Cardi B uses her OnlyFans to share behind-the-scenes content with fans.

It’s not just a new trend either; stars from all walks of fame are using the platform to their advantage. Take Denise Richards, for example. The former Wild Things actress reportedly makes a killing on OnlyFans, following in her daughter’s footsteps. Similarly, Beverly Hills 90210 star Tori Spelling has found her own financial revival by joining the site, proving that OnlyFans is not just for adult film stars but for any celebrity looking for a new stream of income.

For de Matteo, joining OnlyFans wasn’t just about survival—it was about reclaiming power over her own career and finances.

A New Chapter for Hollywood Stars

Drea de Matteo’s OnlyFans journey raises a thought-provoking question: Is OnlyFans the ultimate lifeline for stars who have fallen out of Hollywood’s good graces? In a world where fame can be fleeting and financial stability precarious, platforms like OnlyFans offer celebrities a second chance. It’s a place where they can take control of their narrative, connect with fans on their terms, and—most importantly—make a living.

For Drea, it’s clear that OnlyFans has provided more than just financial security. It’s allowed her to stay relevant in an industry that has often been unforgiving. And while her future may not lie in traditional Hollywood projects anymore, she’s found a way to stay in the spotlight on her terms.
