Drea de Matteo Discusses Her MAGA Support and Claims ‘Half of Hollywood’ Backed Trump

Drea de Matteo, known for her role in The Sopranos, recently expressed her support for President-elect Donald Trump, stating that she believes a significant portion of Hollywood shares her views. In an intriguing revelation, the actress, who has also ventured into the OnlyFans realm, claimed that half of the entertainment industry may have backed Trump during the recent election, despite the overwhelming celebrity endorsements for Kamala Harris.

In the lead-up to the election, de Matteo, 52, suggested that her personal experiences and conversations with colleagues indicate a silent majority in Hollywood aligning with her political stance. She stated, “The people I’m around, a lot of liberals are voting for Trump. I think half of Hollywood is actually voting for Trump.” Her comments come after facing considerable backlash for her vocal anti-vaccine stance during the pandemic, which led to her being dropped by her agent and eventually turning to OnlyFans to stabilize her financial situation.

Amid her struggles, de Matteo indicated she has found a new community of like-minded individuals who support her views, claiming that many in the industry have privately thanked her for her outspoken nature. She articulated that fear of backlash contributes to the silence surrounding Trump support among many celebrities, adding, “I know that I’ve received messages in my Inbox: ‘Thank you for saying things I can’t say.’”

During her public appearances, including an appearance on Fox News’ Jesse Waters Primetime, de Matteo has openly endorsed Trump, characterizing him as “anti-establishment” and expressing disdain for other celebrities who have backed Harris, particularly those who previously criticized Republican figures like Dick Cheney.

De Matteo has also called out notable figures such as Billie Eilish and Bette Midler for their political endorsements while challenging their narratives about safety and reproductive rights, especially in light of broader global issues. She emphasized her concerns about public safety, particularly for her children, arguing that conversations around political priorities need to reflect the realities of crime and conflict.

As she continues to navigate her career and political beliefs, Drea de Matteo remains a polarizing figure in Hollywood, embodying a candid representation of dissent within an industry often perceived as predominantly liberal.
