The Sopranos’ Drea de Matteo took to social media to announce that she voted for Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential election.
‘Investigate your reality. Not in the first 20 results of Google,” she wrote, before sharing a photo of herself wearing a “TRUMP 2024” t-shirt, which had “F**K YOUR FEELINGS” written across its chest.
On Independence Day, de Matteo described herself as a “lifelong progressive liberal” but said she would be “damned if the hijacked blue or red party” put “another” puppet in the blue seat to lead to carry out the deep state agenda.
“I know that all these extremely wealthy elderly celebrities are telling you to vote on social issues like abortion rights; these are not the issues at hand,” she said. “You vote for women’s rights while women’s sports are no longer yours… you vote for my body, my choice, as long as it fits your narrative.”
“If we want true democracy, we must return decisions to the states so that we, the people, are truly involved in decision-making,” he stressed. ‘I come to this as a woman, a mother, an advocate for choice and life. I have terminated pregnancies and have two beautiful children. “This year I challenge all women to look beyond the right to abortion.”
A month earlier, de Mateo boasted that her OnlyFans career, which she launched last summer, helped steer her away from the seedier underbelly of Hollywood and gave her the freedom to become her own boss.
The retired actress recently got candid about how selling racy images and videos on the internet content subscription service has changed her life.
During an interview with TMZmaintained her stance on the darkness of the film and television industry and boasted that Onlyfans gives her a safer space.
Drea, who played Adriana La Cerva in the hit HBO series The Sopranos, said: “Hollywood, the industry itself, there are a lot of sneaky things that happen in Hollywood and we all know it.” “This is about freedom and I don’t have to answer to anyone right now.”

‘Investigate your reality. Not in the first 20 results of Google,” she told her fans, before posting a photo of herself wearing a T-shirt that said “TRUMP 2024,” which had “F**K YOUR FEELINGS” written across its chest.
The mother of two urged her followers to change their perspective as if “life depended on it.”
The reason why the former actress joined the premium subscription service has been well documented, as it helped save her from losing her home.
‘Why did I join Onlyfans? When we launched it, we had, I would say, a few hundred dollars left in the bank. I’m not kidding. “My house was going to be foreclosed on,” he said in a clip shared by TMZ.
She continued: ‘Did I do it out of desperation? Hell yes I did. I thought I would be empowered just by being on Onlyfans? No, that wasn’t the damn point that allowed me to take care of my damn family. So the negativity that came with this, fuck it.”
In March, the Sopranos star criticized Hollywood after being blacklisted by studios for refusing to take the Covid vaccine, revealing she would have a hard time coming out of retirement.
Earlier this year, she claimed she was forced to turn to subscription service Onlyfans to make money after her stance on vaccination caused her acting work to dry up and her agent to drop her, which quickly led to her finding herself in a dangerous financial situation. and at risk of losing their home.
Although Drea has since stated that she was able to make enough money in five minutes after opening her profile to pay off the foreclosure, she has now hinted that she herself is cutting her ties with Hollywood.
In August 2023, de Matteo joined the subscription site Onlyfans to earn more money and avoid losing his house.
Speaking exclusively to DailyMail.com, Drea criticized the “saturated” industry, saying: “I mean, that place (Hollywood) is a fucking cesspool.” I’m not going to lie. Television sucks.
‘There is nothing great. The Sopranos opened the door for me 100 percent.’
Drea played Adriana La Cerva on The Sopranos for seven years between 1999 and 2006.
Referring to a recent meeting with the HBO drama’s showrunner David Chase and executive producers Terence Winter and Matthew Wiener, he continued: “They were doing a panel and basically said, ‘We don’t even trust the audience anymore because that’s it.’ of these things that societies shove down people’s throats.
‘It’s like I don’t even know what the audience is. I think it’s more the industry.
‘The industry just… everything that our generation has pushed for, whether it’s better television, whether it’s human rights, bodily sovereignty, all those things, they took it and turned it into an aberration.
The actress is best known for her starring role as Adriana La Cerva on The Sopranos from 1999 to 2006 (pictured above with the character).
‘And the same thing happened with television. Television is very saturated. “Streaming doesn’t help anyone except big corporations.”
While weighing whether she would ever return to acting, Drea said, “It would have to be something really meaningful to me.”
‘I don’t need to jump just to get a paycheck even though I literally had $10 left in my bank account when all this was happening, which is why I started the Onlyfans page.
“I’d rather bet on myself than the man right now.”
While Drea appears to be disillusioned with Hollywood, she shared that she starred in a film after Covid mandates were lifted on May 12, 2023 and before the SAG-AFTRA strike began on July 14, 2023.
In the same interview with DailyMail.com, Drea said her pivot to OnlyFans helped her save her house from foreclosure and launch her own business, a fashion brand she calls ULTRAFREE.
She admitted: ‘OnlyFans saved my life, 100 per cent. I can’t believe I’m saying that, but he really saved us.’
With tears in his eyes, he continued: “Anyone who wants to condemn me and belittle me, let them do so.” I just hope you never find yourself in the position I was in of caring for two small children.
‘It saved my home of many years which was very important to us. And beyond all that, it has given me enough money to start and fund ULTRAFREE.’
Drea had only $10 in her bank account when she opened her Onlyfans account.

She had found herself in a perilous financial situation after applying for forbearance to help with her mortgage payments, but ultimately could not afford the astronomical sum she owed to debt collectors.
“I was put into foreclosure and my house had flooded, so I was trying to sell it quickly,” he said. ‘I wanted to try to sell it before they took it.
‘At the same time, I lost my mother, and my other mother, who has dementia, had run out of money for her carer. I didn’t know which direction was up.
Initially, turning to the platform was not something Drea wanted to do. And in fact, when she first toyed with the idea, it was because she and her boyfriend had thought about starting a podcast.
“I did it, but I didn’t want to do it,” he continued. “I got a lot of criticism for doing it and it went fucking viral and people went crazy.

‘I mean, the original premise for opening Onlyfans was that Robbie and I were going to do a podcast there that was controversial. We wanted to put it behind a paywall so it wouldn’t get destroyed in the media for it.
“That’s what it was going to be originally, you know, like with him rubbing my feet because you gotta add something for Onlyfans in there.”
