Interesting Tidbits from the Story

Drea de Matteo had a consistent role on "The Sopranos" from 1999-2006 as a longer term girlfriend of one of the mob guy. She was on "The Sopranos" for every season except for the final one.

After 2006 (age 34), her career slowed a bit. She did have roles on one later season of "Desperate Housewives" (2009-2010, when "Desperate Housewives" was declining in popularity), "Sons of Anarchy" (2011-2014) and "Shades of Blue" (2016-2018). "Shades of Blue" was on NBC and was cancelled after 3 seasons.

Few of her movie roles since 2006 have been significant.

She claims to be doing this because of her refusal to vaccinate for COVID-19, which is supposedly costing her acting roles. This is likely a partial truth, but her career was slowing in the years prior to the pandemic.

She had 2 kids in her late 30s, now ages 15 and 12. They knew about OnlyFans and encouraged her to join. This is notable because....

1. She was able to produce 2 kids between ages 35-40 despite reduced fertility.
2. Her kids knew about porn so young

Will Drea de Matteo make good money on OnlyFans? How many people want to see a 51 year old Drea de Matteo nude or nearly nude?

In some ways, I see this as a way for Drea to get attention and for easier money at 51. Drea did get a bachelor's degree from New York University in the 1990s. She probably could have gotten some random white collar job somewhere to bring in some money until retirement at 60-65. A random white collar line of work for 10-15 years until retirement would be more soul crushing than posting pics on OnlyFans though.

Damn.

What can I say? Ofcourse this plays into how women view life. She was probably hot at 34, but refuses to acknowledge she missed the boat for monetizing her "beauty " the easiest way possible.

Yet we talk about the Wall ect .i am speechless and that is stupidity by itself; it's the ..millionth message about a delusional woman I've seen this year alone.

And no, a white collar job where she can get 2 hours paid lunch breaks and has a boss whose in love with her is NOT more soul crushing...

I don't known what's more sad, kids encouraging their mom to be on onlyfans or mom joining onlyfans because her kids told her to do it.
