The site saved 'Sopranos' actress from losing her home during COVID-19.
Actress Drea de Matteo has specialized in playing sexy characters, most notably on “The Sopranos,” and these days she’s creating a whole new persona on OnlyFans, the internet content subscription service most notably associated with sexually explicit content.
De Matteo says she first started experiencing financial stress during the COVID-19 pandemic, when Hollywood and the rest of the world were shut down. When things started to pick back up, Matteo was out of work because she did not want to get vaccinated. De Matteo told ABC News that she was three days away from foreclosure and that OnlyFans saved her from financial ruin. She mentioned that some months she makes more on OnlyFans than she made per episode on "The Sopranos." De Matteo, who won an Emmy Award for her portrayal of Adriana La Cerva on "The Sopranos," didn't disclose the total numbers but showed she had recently made $50,000 in tips from OnlyFans.
OnlyFans launched in 2016 and quickly gained attention as a site popular for people showing sexually explicit content for money. Many creators used the app for some exclusive sexual content that they wouldn't be allowed to show on other social media apps like Instagram and YouTube. However, today, the platform has made a push to become more diverse, with other creators joining and providing different kinds of services.
