announced that she had joined OnlyFans. “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,” de Matteo told Fox News Digital on Thursday. “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.’ … I don’t know why I didn’t think of this sooner.”De Matteo’s OnlyFans page, available for a monthly $15, says “THE SOPRANOS” beneath a close-up of the actress’ cleavage in a star-spangled bikini top.Her profile photo shows the Emmy-winning actress nude in thigh-high heeled boots, smoking a cigarette by a bed.

The lifelong New Yorker, who had her East Village home burn to the ground in 2015 in a freak explosion, shares son Waylon, 12, and daughter Alabama, 15, with country musician Shooter Jennings, 44.

She said that she felt motivated to do this career pivot to OnlyFans in order to support her kids amidst the COVID-19 pandemic. “Things have changed in the last three years…Had I known that I could work out of my closet my whole life, I never would have [believed]. … I know that might sound crazy and might sound somewhat lazy, but I am a very big supporter of stay-at-home moms and women who really love to raise their children.

I balanced it all, and I’ve done it all.”“But I’m 51,” she continued. “I didn’t know this was going to have to be a change of life, you know, all of a sudden that during a time I’m supposed to be relaxing a little bit, that I would have to switch careers and figure new things out because my own industry thinks I’m, you know, a savage.”De Matteo was referring to the fact that she took a controversial stance.
