It’s a family business.
Drea de Matteo revealed that her 13-year-old son, Waylon “Blackjack,” edits her onlyFans photos during a recent appearance on the “Not Today, Pal” podcast.
While discussing her girl-on-girl content with hosts Robert Iler and Jamie-Lynn Sigler, Matteo paused to apologize to her son and 16-year-old daughter, Alabama, who were waiting outside the door.
“Blackjack and Alabama — my kids are out there — I’m sorry, guys,” Matteo, 52, said. “I’m really sorry. But they know.”

However, Iler claimed that Blackjack told him before the show that he “edits [her] onlyFans photos.”
“Oh yeah,” Matteo admitted. “He’s like, ‘So what do you want me to do with the bikini line here?’”
However, the “Sopranos” star said her kids “don’t see” the shots of her getting frisky with other women and she made sure they were comfortable with her latest career endeavor before delving into it.
“They don’t see the girl shots. But I do go over that with them before I ever put them out,” she said. “I was like, ‘Are you OK with this?’”
Matteo explained that she doesn’t view her onlyFans content as that big of a leap from some of her past movie roles.
“Because it’s like, if I were to do it in a movie, because I would make out with girls in movies all day long before I’d even make out with boys,” she said.
During a September 2023 interview with Fox News, Matteo explained that she started an account on the subscription-based website due to financial strain.
At the time, the “Sons of Anarchy” star said her kids, whom she shares with ex Shooter Jennings, were the ones who encouraged her to join.
“My kids were the ones that were like, ‘Do it,'” Matteo explained. “She’ll [Alabama] edit the pictures, too, because they want certain things that we haven’t been able to do.”
“I used to have a lot of money. And then, all of a sudden, I went from being allowed to work to never being allowed to work again,” she continued. “I was never the kind of actor that took jobs just to stay in the business. I literally took jobs to feed my family.”
Since starting her account, Matteo has made more than enough to provide for her family. In fact, she was able to pay off her mortgage debt in February 2024 with the money from her account.
“onlyFans saved my life, 100 percent,” she told the Daily Mail. “I can’t believe I’m saying that, but it really did save us.”
Matteo explained that her house was in “foreclosure” after being “flooded.” However, within five minutes of posting some risqué photos, she was able to make enough money to get it back.
“I was like, ‘Holy s–t.’ In five minutes, I was able to pay back Compass Real Estate who kept the sale of my house,” she claimed.
The actress isn’t the only star who has turned to onlyFans for some extra cash. Disney alum Bella Thorne, Coco Austin, Lily Allen, Denise Richards and more have all raked in the dough by sharing spicy content.
