Drea de Matteo Says She's Made More Money On OnlyFans Than She Did On 'Sopranos'

Drea de Matteo is fresh off of making headlines for reportedly saving her home from foreclosure within minutes of joining OnlyFans.  While she does credit the subscription platform with saving her life, she revealed during a recent podcast appearance that the claims were slightly exaggerated.

In the end, she's perfectly fine with the exaggeration because it led to a bump in subscribers.  That's what the content game is all about after all, especially when it's behind a paywall.

Drea was out talking about that and all the success she's having on OnlyFans.  She also revealed during her appearance on the podcast OnlyStans, that she's making more money from her content than she ever did on The Sopranos.

Before she got into that, she was asked about collabs and whether she receives any odd requests from her subscribers.  The fan of boobs, as she reveals during the interview, gets her fair share of odd custom requests.

Drea gets a lot of requests for foot stuff.  There's also a ton of requests for her to do content as her character from The Sopranos, Adriana La Cerva.

She said of the requests using Adriana's accent, "They want to be berated in her voice, which is crazy."

Drea de Matteo Makes More Now Than She Ever Did On Some Of The Biggest Shows

The Adriana requests discussion turned the conversation towards her time on the show.  She was eventually asked whether she was making more money on The Sopranos or with her current OnlyFans venture.

She answered quickly, "OnlyFans."  Before adding, "We didn't make a lot of money on The Sopranos…  I'm one of these actors that never made a ton of money.  I was on the biggest shows, but I never had great representation."

Where Drea de Matteo's representation let her down, OnlyFans has picked up the slack.  One thing appearing on the biggest shows gave her was name recognition and that's a huge advantage when it comes to content.

Sure you're going to have to deal with the foot fetish weirdos and those looking for some Adriana berating, but it beats working a 9 to 5 after a run that includes the Sons of Anarchy.
