The Sopranos actress Drea de Matteo, 51, said she joined OnlyFans last month after almost going broke because she refused to get the COVID-19 vaccine. My own industry thinks Im, you know, a savage, she told Fox News Digital on Thursday, in reference to the backlash she received for speaking out against vaccine mandates. De Matteos agent abandoned her due to the controversy, leaving her out of work and nearly homeless, she said. 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 mommys a warrior, not accepting defeat, she told Fox. De Matteo said that he boyfriend, Robby Staebler from the band All Them Witches, and her children, who she shares with ex Shooter Jennings, support her OnlyFans work. De Matteo regularly appeared on the HBO mob drama, The Sopranos, for its first five seasons and won an Emmy for supporting actress in a drama series for her portrayal of Adriana La Cerva.

(64,830 posts)If employees didn't get it and weren't given an exemption for good reasons, they were fired. An annual flu vaccine is also a requirement of my employment. Has been for years.
I doubt my employer is the only one. I appreciate it I don't want to have to work with unvaccinated people.

It ended in 2018 though.
I think everything she has done since has also 'ended'.
She was also in about 8 episodes of ABC's "A Million Little Things", but that show also ended earlier this year.

(93,241 posts)Why do right-wingers think taking a stand is going to be consequence free?
It's not as if she merely voiced an opinion on vaccines. She actively sought to not take her well-being or the well-being of others into consideration.
They, in turn, actively took a stand to protect themselves from her.
Making movies/TV shows cost money.
She was a threat to production as well as to all other actors.
What exactly did she think would happen?

And yet--not homeless.
Don't hear about her having to pawn her wedding rings or sell her car to make the rent payment, either, do you? So she's just whining about nobody wanting to work with her for being a pestilential traitor thug.
Even if she really she went broke, I still wouldn't feel sorry for her. You have your 20s and 30s to make your best money in acting as a woman. So if you're not saving and investing over half of what you bring home during those years to set you up for the rest of your life--which you can do if you're in a hit show like the Sopranos, then don't come crying to us when Hollywood has no more use for you.
Get back to us when you sell the silverware to pay the electric bill, cupcake. Until then, you're just an unjustly privileged wanker who got a mild lesson in how she's imminently replaceable.

(34,825 posts)Since you looked it up, I had to and wasn't disappointed. OnlyFans is like the modern equivalent of coin operated peep show booth.

(34,825 posts)Which is a feat in itself. I doubt it all had to do with her anti-VAXX stance.

Its adorable that you were so slow on the uptake.

(17,044 posts)She has the right to make the decision for herself - but not the right to endanger others.
Her whining and pity party is really pathetic and just further demonstrates that in addition to being selfish and self-centered that she is entitled.
Good riddance Drea

I wish anti-vaxxers would stop portraying themselves as heroes instead of the zeroes that they are.

Sopranos star Drea de Matteo has boldly claimed that there are more parallels between Kamala Harris and the Nazis than there are with Donald Trump - after the former president was accused of praising Adolf Hitler as a man who 'did some good things.'
The actress-turned-OnlyFans star, 52, launched a blistering attack on the Democrats during an exclusive interview with DailyMail.com in which she warned of impending civil war, accused President Joe Biden's government of making an 'aberration' of abortion and gay rights, and claimed Americans want 'politically incorrect fun again.'
The Emmy-winning actress argued that it was the Left and Harris' campaign who are exhibiting Nazi party traits, just hours after announcing she had voted for Trump.
'I feel like what [the Democrats] are doing is very dangerous where they're pushing this narrative of continuous racism and the whole Nazi agenda,' she said.
'I hate to say this, but they've been pushing it so hard... and we all know that this is a case of inverted politics where the playbook is accuse your opponent of all of the things you're actually doing.'
