Sopranos star Drea de Matteo is defending her decision to post a nude picture of herself on Instagram, promoting her new OnlyFans account.
The actress says her children encouraged her to do it.
“My kids were the ones that were like, ‘Do it,’” she said via Fox News Digital. “[Alabama will] edit the pictures, too, because they want certain things that we haven’t been able to do.”

“I know some people have said some nasty things about me having joined OnlyFans. But, you know, the way we see it in this house is mommy’s a warrior, not accepting defeat. I figured, ‘OK, so everybody’s in their underwear and being sexy on Instagram and I don’t do that, but I can do that and get paid for it.'”
She added, “I don’t know why I didn’t think of this sooner.”
The actress admits work started to slow down after she refused to take the COVID-19 vaccine.
“I used to have a lot of money. And then, all of a sudden, I went from being allowed to work to never being allowed to work again,” she shared. “I was never the kind of actor that took jobs just to stay in the business. I literally took jobs to feed my family.”
