Have you ever felt like you’re walking on eggshells in a room full of opinionated people who don’t share your views? In a recent forthright interview with Fox News, Drea de Matteo, celebrated as an Emmy-winning star fromThe Sopranos, opened up about feeling the heat of political discourse in Tinseltown.
Unlike her character, Adriana La Cerva, whose secrets led to her dramatic demise, de Matteo bravely shared her perspective on the paradox of silence and support surrounding Donald Trump in an industry that often echoes a singular political chorus. Because she is an actor and does not support Joe Biden for president, she claimed to have a target on her back in the entertainment industry.
The actress’ declaration reflects a point of view that might amaze some, suggesting a closeted community of Trump supporters is playing it safe behind the curtains.
Drea de Matteo’s Bold Words on Donald Trump Supporters in Hollywood
How do you feel when you walk warily around people who have strong opinions and oppose you? Well,The SopranosstarDrea de Matteoknows that feeling all too well, as she lately made a wild claim that supporting Donald Trump in the entertainment industry is akin to signing your own Hollywood death sentence.

In a recent interview on Fox News’Jesse Watters Primetime, de Matteo revealed that she feels like she’s got a target on her back because she openly supports Trump. The Emmy-winning actress, 52, spoke out about the silent Trump supportersin the film industrywho fear backlash for voicing their political beliefs.
With a cheeky grin, host Jesse Watters asked de Matteo if there were any undercover Trump supporters in Hollywood. Without skipping a beat, she confidently responded:
I think there is a lot of them.
It seems like there is a secret society of Trump supporters hiding in plain sight in the midst of liberal Hollywood. She added:
I am mortified right now by my people. I don’t understand what we’re doing here…Yes, there are a lot of quiet Trump supporters. I wonder how much these actors got paid to endorse Biden at this point.
De Matteo, known for her role as Adriana La Cerva inThe Sopranos,couldn’t help but express her bewilderment at the lavish Joe Biden fundraiser in Los Angeles:
That was a hard intro to watch. I’m sorry. It’s the Italian, man. We’re talking about [Anthony] Fauci, we’re talking about De Niro.
She even quipped about Robert De Niro’s anti-Trump theatrics outside of the Manhattan courtroom, questioning if he received a hefty paycheck for his Biden endorsement.
I don’t really maneuver inside that industry. I never have. First of all, ‘Sopranos,’ we were the outcast, even though we were critically acclaimed, we still were outcasts. So I’m still an outcast, here I am. They’re going to take me out into the woods and shoot me for not endorsing Biden.
I am curious. I wonder if De Niro got paid a location fee because he traveled to the courtroom to do that.
The Sopranosoften waxed poetic about various issues, such as trauma and psychology. But the only character in the series we actually feel sorry for is Adriana La Cerva andher tragic fate.
The Sopranos’ Legacy Lives on: Drea de Matteo’s Donald Trump Affiliation Sparks Debate
Fans of Drea De Matteo couldn’t help but draw parallels between her real-life predicament and her character’s fate inThe Sopranos.Adriana La Cerva met a grisly end in the woods after the mafia discovered her betrayal—a haunting reminder of the dangers of going against the grain in Hollywood’s political landscape.
Fans who noticed the similarity did so quite appropriately; let us take a look at some of the opinions:
It’s kinda funny how ever since she was shot in the woods on her own show we never heard about her again
This honestly shocks me. I guess it shouldn’t.I expect better from certain people.
Sounds like someone is trying hard to be relevant again.
There is no such thing as a quiet Trump voter
I’ve honestly never seen her in anything other than the Sopranos
Despite the risks, de Matteo remains unapologetic about her support for Trump and her disdain for the far-left control of Hollywood. The actor has a history of publicly slamming celebrities who support Joe Biden. This year, she stated toFox Business,“I think the far left own Hollywood. I think we all know that”.
Moreover, de Matteo revealed that she turned to OnlyFans after losing acting opportunities due to her stance against COVID-19 vaccine mandates (viaFox News Digital).

So, what can we learn from de Matteo’s audacious stance in the face of Hollywood’s political conformity? Maybe it serves as a souvenir that, in a world where conformity is valued above all else, speaking your truth—no matter how unpopular it may be—takes courage.
