In a jaw-dropping admission that has the internet in full meltdown mode, The Sopranos alum Drea de Matteo revealed that her 13-year-old son is hands-on with her OnlyFans empire — literally helping edit her racy photos.
The 52-year-old actress, best known for playing the ill-fated Adriana La Cerva on the iconic HBO series, dropped the bombshell during a recent appearance on the Not Today, Pal podcast alongside her former co-stars Robert Iler (A.J. Soprano) and Jamie-Lynn Sigler (Meadow Soprano).
According to multiple reports, de Matteo casually confirmed that her son Waylon “Blackjack” Jennings, 13, and daughter Alabama, 16, pitch in on the family’s unconventional side hustle. “It’s a family business,” she reportedly quipped.
De Matteo explained that Blackjack helps touch up photos, even getting specific with edits like “What do you want me to do with the bikini line here?” She insists there are strict boundaries — the kids don’t see the most explicit content, and she checks in with them for approval before posting anything.
The actress launched her OnlyFans account in 2023 after struggling to find work in Hollywood, later crediting the platform with saving her financially — even paying off her mortgage. “OnlyFans saved my life, 100 percent,” she told the Daily Mail earlier this year.
The revelation has sparked a firestorm online, with reactions ranging from horrified disbelief to dark humor. One viral comment nailed the Sopranos vibe: “Tony Soprano would have put an end to this entire operation by the end of the episode.”
Critics are calling it wildly inappropriate and questioning the involvement of a minor in adult content creation, while some defenders argue it’s a pragmatic single-mom move in tough times with clear family rules in place.
De Matteo has been unapologetic about her choices, previously sharing that she got her kids’ blessing before diving into OnlyFans.
