“I know some people have said some nasty things about me having joined OnlyFans,” de Matteo said. “But, you know, the way we see it in this house is mommy’s a warrior, not accepting defeat…I figured, ‘OK, so everybody’s in their underwear and being sexy on Instagram, and I don’t do that, but I can do that and get paid for it’…I don’t know why I didn’t think of this sooner.”
A Costly Stand Against Vaccine Mandates
De Matteo elaborated on the challenges she faced, emphasizing how her views on COVID vaccine mandates led to a series of setbacks in her career. She expressed, “I guess you could say I was a bad girl because I did not follow the rules a couple of years ago.”
The consequences were severe, with her agent dropping her, and the loss of acting opportunities almost jeopardizing her home. De Matteo, known for her down-to-earth approach, shared her financial reality, dispelling the myth of celebrity wealth. “People find that hard to believe that I was never really paid very much money for any of the jobs I’ve done,” she admitted. “People think I’m f***ing made of gold, and I’m not. I’ve worked job to job.”
