Drea de Matteo, renowned for her roles in hit shows such as Sons of Anarchy, The Sopranos, and Desperate Housewives, ventured into the world of OnlyFans after her acting gigs became scarce. Since joining, she has seen significant financial success on the platform, even managing to pay off her mortgage with her earnings.
Earlier this year, de Matteo disclosed that she had raked in $50,000 just from tips, a testament to her popularity on the site. But what’s her secret to success? The actress recently shared that her 13-year-old son, Waylon ‘Blackjack’ Jennings, plays a pivotal role in editing her photos.
While on the Not Today, Pal podcast, hosted by Robert Iler, de Matteo mentioned that her son, who was just outside the studio, helps tweak her images. “Oh yeah. He’s like, ‘So what do you want me to do with the bikini line here?’” she recounted, assuring the host that he does not view any NSFW content.
“[My kids] don’t see the girl shots,” de Matteo emphasized. She also makes sure to discuss potential posts with her children first: “I was like, ‘Are you okay with this?’ Because it’s like, if I were to do it in a movie, because I would make out with girls in movies all day long before I’d even make out with boys.”
Her 16-year-old daughter, Alabama, also supports her mother’s OnlyFans endeavors, assisting with photoshoots. Interestingly, Waylon wasn’t always supportive of his mother’s OnlyFans career.
When Waylon initially resisted her new career path, de Matteo reminded him of the material benefits it brought. “Do you like that jacket you just asked me to buy you? You like all the things that you want, that make you happy? You like that new PC that you begged for for Christmas? Because you wouldn’t have that s**t if Mommy didn’t show her a**,” she told him.
This straightforward approach highlights the practical aspect of her work on OnlyFans, which not only satisfies her creatively but also supports her family financially. Moreover, de Matteo is in good company, joining other celebrity mothers like Cardi B, Lily Allen, Shanna Moakler, and Denise Richards, who have also turned to OnlyFans as a platform for sharing more personal, often risqué content.
