Enter Drea de Matteo, known for her role in The Sopranos. Just a brief five-minute stint on OnlyFans helped her clear the mortgage on her home. While some might raise eyebrows at her choice to join the site, de Matteo found herself in a tight spot financially after skipping the mRNA vaccine and subsequently losing gigs in Hollywood.
But lo and behold, OnlyFans swooped in to rescue her financial situation, keeping her life on track.
From Hindustan Times:
"OnlyFans saved my life," says 52-year-old Sopranos actor Drea de Matteo. She is the latest celebrity to join the controversial site and says she was able to pay off the mortgage on her home with just five minutes on the site.
She told Daily Mail that she had just $10 in her bank account, when she decided to join the site. She said her refusal to get vaccinated for Covid-19 left her out of work and she had run out of money to care for a parent with dementia.
"It saved us. OnlyFans saved my life, 100 percent. I can't believe I'm saying that, but it really did save us," she said, adding, "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."
"They put me into foreclosure and my house had flooded, so I was trying to sell the house quickly ... before they took it," she added. “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.”
She said that sharing steamy photos of herself was an idea that took some getting used to but she appreciates the financial power it gave her. “I kept putting more pictures up. I was like, holy sh-t. In five minutes, I was able to pay back [the real estate company] who kept the sale of my house,” Drea de Matteo said.
