'The Sopranos' star Drea de Matteo says teen son helps her edit OnlyFans content
View Date:2025-01-12 10:16:45
As a mother, Drea de Matteo keeps it real.
"The Sopranos" star, who recently joined the content platform OnlyFans, opened up about her teen children's involvement in her work while appearing on the "Not Today, Pal" podcast earlier this month.
De Matteo shares son Waylon, 13, and daughter Alabama, 16, with musician Shooter Jennings.
While reviewing her OnlyFans content with hosts and former "Sopranos" co-stars Robert Iler and Jamie-Lynn Sigler, De Matteo briefly apologized to her children − who were not on camera − for the risqué conversation.
"Before you start, your son was outside saying he edits your OnlyFans photos," Iler told De Matteo on the July 11 episode, to which she replied, "Oh yeah. He's like, 'So what do you want me to do with the bikini line here?' "

De Matteo, whose OnlyFans content ranges from NSFW photos to collaborations with other women, spoke about the importance of her children's approval before releasing her work.
"I do go over that with them before I ever put them out," De Matteo said. "I was like, ‘Are you OK with this?' 'Cause it’s like, if I were to do it in a movie, 'cause I would make out with girls in movies all day long before I’d even make out with boys."
Best known for her role as Adriana La Cerva on the HBO mob drama, De Matteo launched her OnlyFans page in August 2023. She currently has over 157,000 likes on the subscription service.
Drea de Matteo explains why she joined OnlyFans
In a September 2023 interview with Fox News, De Matteo opened up about why she began posting on OnlyFans.
"I figured, 'OK, so everybody's in their underwear and being sexy on Instagram and I don't do that, but I can do that and get paid for it,' " De Matteo said at the time. "I don't know why I didn't think of this sooner."
The actress said she was forced to "switch careers and figure new things out because my own industry thinks I'm a savage," referring to her stance against COVID-19 vaccine mandates.
De Matteo’s agent reportedly dropped her over the controversy, and she claimed her family nearly lost their home because she wasn't booking work.

De Matteo also shared that her children encouraged her to join the online content platform.
"My kids were the ones that were like, 'Do it.' (Alabama will) edit the pictures, too, because they want certain things that we haven't been able to do," De Matteo said. "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."
