Ever since joining the preeminent adult content subscription service website, Drea de Matteo has been willing to talk to anyone and everyone about her experience, especially considering how lucrative the endeavor has been for her.
In being so open, however, the 52-year-old de Matteo has revealed a quite disturbing detail about her newfound method of income: her 13-year-old son edits the lingerie-clad photos.
During an appearance on the Not Today, Pal podcast — which is hosted by her former The Sopranos co-stars Jamie-Lynn Sigler and Robert Iler — de Matteo revealed that her kids don’t only know about her OnlyFans content, but that her 13-year-old son Waylon (“Blackjack”) edits the pictures.
“Blackjack and Alabama — my kids are out there. I’m sorry guys. I’m really sorry. But they know,” De Matteo says of her adult content.
“Before you start, your son was outside saying he edits your OnlyFans photos,” Iler, who played AJ Soprano, said.
“Oh yeah. He’s like, ‘So what do you want me to do with the bikini line here?’” de Matteo replied.
de Matteo added that her children don’t see her girl-on-girl shots, which she doesn’t see as being all that different from kissing a woman in a movie.
“They don’t see the girl shots. But I do go over that with them before I ever put them out,” De Matteo explained. “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.”
de Matteo launched her OnlyFans account in September 2023, revealing that she made enough money to pay off her mortgage debt in “five minutes” and that she’s made more money selling photos than she ever did acting, even when she was working on The Sopranos.
