[@darrenlee9237]

Do either of you prudish, pious individuals become this irate when you see underwear models in catalogues too? Do you find bikini-wearers on the beach to be source of outrage? If Drea de Matteo has found a highly lucrative yet legal way to maintain and retain ownership of her dream home where her family are settled then how pray tell is she living "beyond her means"? Countless numbers of solvent businesses collapsed in the wake of the pandemic. As a sovereign individual she decided that the Covid-19 jabs weren't for her. So she used her diverse range of talents to find a way to overcome her predicament. Was is it that you both find so irksome about this story...?

[@tamalam70]

I find this hard to believe that she has to do this. The father of her children is Shooter Jennings. He is the son of country music royalty, Waylon Jennings. Shooter (Drea's ex) is a successful musician. Is he an absent father? Dead beat, not paying child support? These kids grandmother is Jesse Colter, the widow and sole beneficiary of Waylon Jennings estate..worth millions. There is no way any grandchild of Waylon Jennings would have to do without and have a mother that does OnlyFans. That's pretty sad she has to do this, but also, good for her for making so much money and shame on Shooter Jennings if he is not helping support her and these kids of theirs.

[@Lommy9999]

Owning your home nowadays means you are rich. Even a way smaller place and in a regular neighborhood.
