The Sopranos star Drea de Matteo said she joined OnlyFans last month because her stance on the COVID-19 vaccine cost her work.Speaking to Fox News, the actress, who played Adriana La Cerva in the hit HBO series, opened up about the backlash she received for speaking out against the vaccine.“My own industry thinks I’m, you know, a savage,” she said.

De Matteo’s agent dropped her due to the controversy, leaving her out of work and nearly homeless, she explained. “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.”She added that her 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 in 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.In other Sopranos news, Michael Imperioli recently revealed that the scenes where his character had to be physically abusive to Adriana were the most challenging.The most brutal, difficult stuff for me is when Christopher had to be physically abusive with Adriana, for obvious reasons,” he told The Guardian.“On a technical level, you’re trying to be really careful so you don’t hurt the person.

But having to get to that point of violence towards a woman, you have to go to some nasty places to get there. Sometimes it’s very immediate.
