“The Sopranos” star Drea de Matteo recently told Jamie Kennedy on the “Hate to Break It To Ya” podcast (via EW) that starting her OnlyFans page was a “political statement.”

“In some ways, the OnlyFans page was almost like a political statement on my part in a way…It was like, ‘Fuck you. I don’t have to work,’” de Matteo said.

She went on to add that some critics think, because of her Emmy-winning turn as Adriana la Cerva on the HBO mob drama, that she is “made of fucking money.” However, de Matteo explained that the whole reason she started her OnlyFans was because of financial problems.
