00:00 Drea DiMatteo is clapping back at critics who slammed her for joining OnlyFans.
00:05 In a new interview with Fox News Digital, the Sopranos star opened up about why she
00:09 believes the choice helped her family.
00:12 "I know some people have said some nasty things about me having joined OnlyFans.
00:17 But you know, the way we see it in this house is Mommy's a warrior, not accepting defeat,"
00:22 she said.
00:23 The 51-year-old revealed that she decided to become part of the adult content subscription
00:27 site out of necessity and in order to spend more time with her two kids, 15-year-old Alabama
00:34 and 12-year-old Waylon, whom she shares with her ex, Scooter Jennings.
00:38 "Things have changed in the last three years.
00:41 My kids have always been my number one focus.
00:44 Had I known that I could work out of my closet my whole life, I never would have believed
00:48 it.
00:49 I know that might sound crazy and might sound somewhat lazy, but I am a very big supporter
00:54 of stay-at-home moms and women who really love to raise their children."
00:58 Drea announced the news on Instagram with a risque photo in August and told the publication
01:03 in September that acting jobs have recently dried up.
01:07 "People think I'm f---ing made of gold and I'm not.
01:10 I've worked job to job.
01:12 And I've turned down tons of jobs in the past just to be with my children because their
01:17 dad's on the road and he's not around as much."
01:20 She also claimed that she feels ostracized by the industry after speaking out against
01:25 the COVID-19 vaccine mandate, adding,
01:28 "I'm 51.
01:29 I didn't know this was going to have to be a change of life, you know?
01:33 All of a sudden, that during a time I'm supposed to be relaxing a little bit, that I would
01:37 have to switch careers and figure new things out because my own industry thinks I'm, you
01:42 know, a savage.
01:43 I guess you could say I was a bad girl because I did not follow the rules a couple of years
01:47 ago.
01:48 I don't want to be at the mercy of mandates or strikes or anything like that ever again."
01:53 The Sons of Anarchy actress said her family is supportive of her new venture.
01:58 "I just don't care.
01:59 I don't.
02:00 I'd rather save my family than save face," she explained and said,
02:05 "When people make nasty comments about why I would have done that, my response is damn
02:10 straight.
02:11 I hope you're never in the f---ing position I'm in.
02:13 I take care of an entire family and a lot of other people who depend on me."
02:16 "I'm not going to be a savage.
02:17 I'm not going to be a savage.
02:18 I'm not going to be a savage.
02:19 I'm not going to be a savage.
02:20 I'm not going to be a savage.
02:21 I'm not going to be a savage.
02:22 I'm not going to be a savage.
02:23 I'm not going to be a savage.
02:24 I'm not going to be a savage.
02:25 I'm not going to be a savage.
02:26 I'm not going to be a savage.
02:27 I'm not going to be a savage.
02:28 I'm not going to be a savage.
02:29 I'm not going to be a savage.
