Though The Sopranos may have been all about sex, violence, and gabbagool, Drea de Matteo — a.k.a. Adriana La Cerva — knows all about that bread lately, opening up about her very recent and very viral turn to OnlyFans.

Despite her status as a premium cable icon, de Matteo hit hard times in recent years. After turning down the Covid-19 jab, a decision that made it tricky to find work in Hollywood in the early 2020s, the actress found herself with just $10 in her bank account, a predicament that pushed her to — like her iconic on-screen necklines — take the plunge.



'It saved us,' de Matteo, who joined the platform back in August, explained to Daily Mail.


'OnlyFans saved my life, 100 per cent. I can't believe I'm saying that, but it really did save us,” she added before detailing how the endeavor “saved” her “home of many years” from foreclosure.


“I was like, holy s—t. In five minutes, I was able to pay back compass real estate who kept the sale of my house,” she explained.



While like any person on OnlyFans, a handful of Sopranos buffs have had questions, de Matteo stood strong, sharing a message to her haters.


“Anybody that wants to condemn me and put me down, go for it,” the actress said. “I just hope you never find yourself in the position I was in to take care of two little kids.”


But hey, in the words of Junior Soprano, “some things are just a matter of duty."
