**TORONTO -** Emmy Award-winning actress Drea de Matteo, known for her role in “The Sopranos” and her OnlyFans career, has revealed she voted for former President Donald Trump in the 2020 election.
In an Instagram Story, de Matteo explained her decision, stating, “We voted for ourselves. We the people.” She criticized what she called a “neocon/corporate swamp” and urged followers to “drain the fckn” swamp. The actress also shared an image of herself wearing a “TRUMP 2024” and “F*** YOUR FEELINGS” t-shirt, encouraging her followers to “research their reality” and change their political perspectives.
Despite previously identifying as a “life-long progressive liberal,” de Matteo claims that wealthy celebrities are pushing a narrative that prioritizes social issues like abortion rights, while ignoring other important matters. She argues that true democracy requires giving decision-making power back to the states.
While acknowledging her pro-choice stance, de Matteo challenges women to look beyond abortion rights and consider other aspects of the political landscape.
The actress’s political declarations come after her successful career on OnlyFans, which she says has given her the freedom to be her own boss and escape the pressures of Hollywood.
De Matteo’s public support for Trump has sparked discussion about the political leanings of celebrities and the importance of individual agency in shaping one’s political perspective.
