From Emmys to only fans ….there is a huge difference
This is just the beginning in the near future Only fans will be normalised people will think it's cool it should be stopped
From Grammys to Grannies./ From SopranO's to the opposite of Orphan Annie. . .
Emmys* If you're going to be snide at least get your facts straight.
@@haute03 oh thanks..corrected ..whatever does not change any fact ..
52 years old, she looks unbelievable super beautiful woman😻
"i dont like to put anything in my body", meanwhile she smokes cigarettes.
Hello people, not one person ever watched Sons of Anarchy? That show was on way after Sopranos. Shes an awesome actress
Yeah and she's 52!
Tried, but I'm not into cheesy.
yea but her role in SOA was small in comparison to Sopranos.
Yeah I love her!
I watched it
This used to be called Glamour modeling. It was really popular in the early 2000's. Think of Maxim Magazine for example. She's beautiful and there is nothing sleazy about her photos. Smart lady!
Abc out here promoting only fans with a large youth audience is kinda weird
Disney doesn't do anything wrong. I don't know who this woman is.
Average age of ABC viewers is low-mid 60s
Please only promote only fans to your hot daughters, too many average to uglies girls thinking it's a get rich quick scheme and make bad content.
@@peterdarker1 I'm 52 male ain't nobody gonna pay to look at me. Thank Goodness.
only promote it to your good looking daughters. too many ugly and fat ones think they can make it but they can't.
Why is everyone doing only fans? Good god. This is not feminism
It's prostitution, sanitized.
its korn... its been around since 1960s -- after popular demand and is now a 10 billion+ dollar industry.. what planet are you from?
If ghouls wanna pay for it 😂😂😂
It actually is! Women making their own money, on their on schedule. As someone already pointed out, porn has been around way longer, but the work environment in porn was often unfair, sexist and even dangerous for women. They were treated unfairly and with the rise of OF, women who want to work in this industry can be their own boss.
Oldest profession = sex work
Remember: selling sex in exchange for money is prostitution in the real world.
Selling sex in exchange for tips on the internet is entrepreneurship.
Selling intercourse is illegal. Not showing your body for a buck!!
@@galaxyglitterlatte4664 People do f*ck for money on OnlyFans. Just thought you ought to know.
😂
She’s 52…unless u just got out of prison, would u pay for this
@@user-zv6sg7bd1g I don't sleep with women.
So she is living way beyond her means and her only choice is only fans?? 🤦🏻♀️ If she can’t afford her mansion maybe moving to a more affordable place would be another option 🤷🏻♀️
Omfg. I thought I was the only person left with common sense. Lol.
Jealous much?
Or did you just spend ten minutes watching Drea de Matteo so you could vent your moral outrage?
Well I'm not sure who you are addressing,but I don't see how you read "moral outrage" from either of our statements. Just a state of puzzlement. You can't afford where you are? Move somewhere less expensive. Seems like a logical assumption. I have no judgment of her character.
Do either of you prudish, pious individuals become this irate when you see underwear models in catalogues too?
Do you find bikini-wearers on the beach to be source of outrage?
If Drea de Matteo has found a highly lucrative yet legal way to maintain and retain ownership of her dream home where her family are settled then how pray tell is she living "beyond her means"?
Countless numbers of solvent businesses collapsed in the wake of the pandemic.
As a sovereign individual she decided that the Covid-19 jabs weren't for her. So she used her diverse range of talents to find a way to overcome her predicament.
Was is it that you both find so irksome about this story...?
Why aren't you both angry that the tyrannical 'jab mandate' forced this woman out of the film & tv industry?
@@darrenlee9237 child I own my own company so I don’t have to whore myself to take care of my child. 🤦🏻♀️ Common sense is not the same as jealousy…learn the difference 🤷🏻♀️
Can you imagine the spin she puts on everyday life
I'm surprised she wasn’t making more on the Sopranos. Definitely a fan favorite!
Who cares how she makes her money and Drea is more than surviving, she's thriving! Wishing her the best .
She is too old to be selling herself on Only Fans! Men do not want to pay to see old ladies. I wouldn't visit her page even if it was free. Some women really don't know when it's time to retire the sex kitten phase. Does Madonna have an Only Fans account. 😆😆😆
Isn't she 52! News flash 50 isn't the new 20. She may be fit but she's as dry as the Sahara Desert.
If I looked like her, I'd be on only fans! Make bank.
Her kids are beautiful. Love her.
She can still act.
Not rich but she is sitting in a fancy livingroom in a mansion on the hollywood hills....😒
She probably already paid for it with Sopranos money duh.
@@NinjaBooKitty There are exorbitant property taxes on mansions in places like that and upkeep of the property. Even if it is paid off, she's got bills.
@@alabaster193 Oh I'm sure but at least the house is paid for.
while Hollywood and downtown LA are basically dead . I would never pay a cent to these people
Why can’t an actress get a normal job like the rest of us when bills need to be paid? Acting like she had no other choice is her worst performance yet. 💀
This would be none of your business if you hadn’t clicked on it! Hungry much?
Why not celebrate women's successes and beauty rather than critical? She's empowered.
If you had hundreds of thousands of fans willing to pay you $100K a month to see pics of you in a bathing suit...wouldn't you take it?
@@spacenerd9499 not really...she is just "selling herself as an object" as many women have done over the centuries...as long as she has a nice body...she will have fans...even when she is 75, there will be people with old lady fetishes willing to pay to see some granny parts.
@@spacenerd9499 lmao what's empowering about teenage boys jerking off to her
Society is doomed.
Recessions, wars, out of control wealth gaps and oh yeah the world is melting, but you're only realizing this NOW?
Yes, but not because of OnlyFans. Greed, reactionaries, hate, our climate.
Racy pictures have been a thing since the invention of photography. This is nothing new, she’s making a living and providing for her children, is that illegal?
Shades of blue was one of the best series on TV with her Ray Liotta n JLo. Loved that show. She is an amazing actress n has been in a lot of roles that fit her so much as an actress she is just very talented.
She’s brutally honest. So much respect for Drea❤
52!!! Wow!!
She is a great talented actress and I respect her immensely for not compromising her beliefs. Salud, Ms. DeMateo.
Loved her character and she is such a cool person, wishing her the best
Owning your home nowadays means you are rich. Even a way smaller place and in a regular neighborhood. But she made a decision and she wants to provide for her family and I think she understands the pros and the many cons. She could not live off of her past work, and was facing losing her property. I don't think OF is all bad. It is shocking though how much men need this and basically how lonely millions of men are.
Drea from the Sopranos 🎉
This is sad. She shouldn’t have to resort to this. She is an amazing actress.
I know and I'm really surprised she didn't make the money she should have made on the Soprano's.... very unfair.
whats so sad about making a living? whats truly sad is being a prude
@@dustnbones0013 it’s sad she is such a talented actress and they don’t pay her enough that she has to take these photos to survive. Morally if you don’t have an issue with OF that’s your opinion. I don’t see a lot joy and happiness in her eyes or in her manner when she is talking about it.
She has a nice desk
Nice racks.
@0:10 “I can see why a lot of people are coming on your site”…..Haha🤣😆🤣 she knew what she was saying
"Drea de Matteo 'opens up' about her journey to OnlyFans"
My boring life can be in the app?
Wasn't she on Desperate housewives?
Yes. For one season.
Didn't you watch the video? They covered that.
I watched her on Desperate Housewives.
I loved her appearance on Mayans MC. She had a great little scene with EZ and gave us an update on Abel and Thomas.
Just remember that opening conversation the next time you hear that women do not want to be objectified.
She was awesome in Sons of Anarchy too!
!!!! Omg it’s Wendy ❤
It’s crazy that she starred in so many popular sitcoms but didn’t make anything near what her costars made per episode!
Yes, you are loved around the world Drea
She is real and just advertised her only fans and so she is a genius too
Who? Why? WHO CARES? Some has-been from ages ago uses a controversial site? BIG DEAL, and NO STORY.
That's an expensive house. Sell it buy something less expensive. Why is that not an option? Keep fighting to pay California taxes at 52 is crazy.
She's 52 😮😮😮
I have not seen her acting in anything since The Sopranos. Maybe she has acted since The Sopranos, but I haven't come across anything she has done. I'm glad she has been saved from financial ruin. What happened to the money that she made on The Sopranos (and any other acting jobs she may have done)?!
It’s been years between bills mortgages I’m sure she ran through her savings
The interviewer asked her that.
She was in Shades of Blue... I loved her as detective Tess. But it kinda still felt like she was Andrea, kinda
You never saw Sons of Anarchy?
Sons of Anarchy!!!
Of the most beloved characters on Sopranos, and of the most beautiful women to ever exist.
I have always loved Drea de Matteo. She is doing what she has to do to survive and keep a roof over her children's head. DON'T JUDGE!!!
Drea found a way to save herself and loved ones, during a difficult time. She’s a smart lady! God bless!💯
I want to know what her definition of “barely getting paid” is….
😂😂 I pronounced it "christahfuh" when I say out loud. Randomly.
Get that money Drea!!!
Drea is so fckn cool, hot by proxy
Seems like a beautiful and down to earth lady. Good for her.
So happy for her. ABC is giving Only fans a big boost. How much did they pay for the advertisement?
Proud of her. What her daughters think of her is the MOST important ⭐️👍🏼
“Old woman struggling with midlife crisis over her looks craves validation through onlyfans”
You still got it so rock it while you can girl. Awesome.
she messes up getting her kids 'fully vaccinated'
I can’t believe it either! Went through all that financial loss just to poison her kids.
I totally still say 'Christophuh!"
Should have done this 20 years ago. It’s like the Playboy of the 2000s. All actresses in their 40s.
That's very rude to ask someone about their personal finances.
I see alot of comments judging her! She is modeling and not doing porn on OnlyFans! She pivoted and was smart to do that. Instead of being a victim, she charged ahead. How many would have the balls to do what she did? Good for you Drea! I hope it leads to more acting work too!
I get it but most people think it is naked photos as they hear only fans that's what comes to everybody s mind
Well with all the photoshops, of course anyone can look this sexy....at any age. 🙄not sure why people fool themselves thinking that's the real them. So weird. She's alright tho. I just think her ego does not fit.
Blacklisted for not taking the vax.. I support whatever decision she makes. It's her life.
I didn't know that, that changes quite a bit about how I look at her.. Thank you and I agree with you and her 😊
I loved her on Sopranos!!
Gorgeous !
$50,000 in tips.
People really pay for this.
Lol.
not me f no
So proud of her for taking care of her babies
yea 😂 right
She did fabulous in S.O.A also♥️
She s so lovely❤
Love her!!!
I loved her in Sons Of Anarchy...
Christopha!
She was a Hooah
What a time to be a female!
"I like the butt shot. That's nice."
Good for her !!
Well she's doing her best at supporting Thomas and Abel so we can't judge her for that, being the former old lady of samcro president Jax Teller so who are we to judge
She roles out a pretty professional and tasty page. Good for her.
Something her children and future grandchildren/descendants to be proud of.
"Now you go online and start selling pictures of yourself??? Where do you get the balls?? Where?"
She looks like Portia De Rossi - if Portia had plastic surgery and it was a bad surgeon!
I truly thought it was her, I don’t own a tv so know them from internet only. Bizar
Jesus she is soo gorgeous!
I liked her on The Sopranos, but let's be real. If her excuse for not getting the COVID vaccine and losing work in Hollywood is that she doesn't like putting things in her body, then what happened to the prominent wrinkle she had between her eyebrows on The Sopranos? Did it magically disappear, or did Botox injections do that?
Tim Pool was right.
Good for her!!!!!! A lot of us have thought of doing this and we just don't due to maybe not enough confidence!!!! She rocks it!!!
Word
Although my friends suggest do my feet. Lot of people get off on feet
The fact she dresses suggestively without taking her clothes off, I have no issues
The things people will do to avoid a 9-5 job.😂😂😂
If you watch the video, she says she did it during Covid lockdown to pay the bills and keep her house. There weren't many work options and most Americans don't have 2 years worth of savings or investment stock money.
I was a tv actor from 17 until the age of 34 then couldn't get work, who do you think is hiring an out of work tv actor with zero 9-5 experience in any area of work, i couldn't even get work as a dishwasher because they wanted someone with experience…so in some cases its not avoiding work.
Exactly,.......when women are working they say "don't objectify me" but when they are out of work and irresponsible with their money, anything goes, even washed up geriatrics. If you experienced hardship during covid financially, YOU have POOR life choice problems and are probably one of those who has to beg the government for a hand out. Ironically these are the people who say they HATE government any other time, but are not ashamed to beg for cash. At the end of the day lots of people are just cheap, ignorant, fools who talk big until it's time to have an adult conversation.......you can see some in this comment stream
God bless ABC & OF for empowering a new & old generation of 304s.
Hell yea! Especially when 9-5 jobs are overrated, underpaid and overworked.
She's has engulfed that MAGA lifestyle it seems.
She's a fvcking rockstar 👏🤘
It just shows how much money actors actually make on a regular basis. I remember seeing an interview with Kai Penn, and what he said were residuals from Harold & Kumar go to Whitecastle. Most actors can't afford to get insurance, let alone make a living at it. BTW, onlyfans was started AS a fan interactive site and moved into the adult space. There was even a push a couple of years ago for it to remove adult content. Didn't happen of course but to even think about a move towards that shows there's a large amount of monetized non adult content out there.
Good for her!
It's just a bunch of bikini shots from what I heard...
She’s an Icon man! 🙌
If she's going to sell shirts, who not sell her likeness? Might as well at this point.
Doing what she’s got to do. Not mad about it
Christopfah was right
Why the f do we care???
She's52!?!?!?! I'm56 and it don't look like that!!! If it did...I'd be making money for sure!
Unreal ,right? She hasn't changed since the sopranos. Considering 2 kids and probably went through menopause. She still stunning! Get that money drea!
You do it wrong
❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
10 min long only fans commercial
get the money, honestly, who cares if you sell sex. just don't be a home wrecker, be a good person.
wow what great advice 😂
@@arturoalmazan5262 what? It’s good money. I suppose RELIGION says it’s a bad thing but it isn’t wrong to do.
@puppylove422 I would not let a woman do that onlyfans crap if she had children and I was married to one but to each his own I guess
@@arturoalmazan5262 yea, perhaps if you are married it may be less appropriate for her to share her body with the world. That could be a part of our as human beings. 😀 you could be right but I’m not sure right now.
Most importantly in sons of anarchy
dude wtfffffff this is sad
"Without doing explicit content 😅" Thats funny
Do they know what OnlyFans is
Smh
She's got the gift to make it worth it.
Are any washed up actresses watching this?
Lol
