Visit https://michaelfranzese.com/family/ In-person sitdowns are BACK — and this one’s a big one! I’m joined by none other than Drea de Matteo, star of The Sopranos and one of the most fearless women in Hollywood. In this exclusive conversation, we uncover her surprising family ties to the mob (yes, there’s more to the story) and hear never-before-told stories from her time on The Sopranos. From behind-the-scenes moments with James Gandolfini to the truth about HBO's portrayal of him after his passing — Drea holds nothing back. But it doesn't stop there. We also dive into how Hollywood blacklisted her for standing up against the system, and she reveals how she fought back, stayed strong, and continues to thrive despite it all. This is raw, unfiltered, and REAL — the kind of sitdown you won’t get anywhere else. Don’t miss it! 👉 Watch now and hear the truth straight from Drea de Matteo herself. #TheSopranos #DreaDeMatteo #HollywoodBlacklist #MichaelFranzese #MafiaTies #MobTalk #JamesGandolfini #HollywoodExposed #SitdownInterview Drea De Matteo REVEALS Mob Ties, Hollywood Lies, and Sopranos Secrets Follow Drea on Socials at @dreadematteo Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/dreadematteo/ X: https://x.com/dreadematteo Check out Drea's clothing line at ULTRAFREE.CO https://ultrafree.co/ 👉👉Check out my store: https://store.michaelfranzese.com/ 🎤 Book Michael for an in-person event: https://michaelfranzese.com/speaking-engagements 📕 Grab my book "Mafia Democracy": https://geni.us/MafiaDemocracy 00:00 Start 01:29 Introduction 03:57 Interview Start 04:22 Drea's Involvement with Mafia 09:04 Story about Drea's uncle and Michael's Family 17:18 How did Drea get her Sopranos role? 21:00 How accurate was the HBO Sopranos Documentary? 25:12 Michael and Drea's opinion on the ending of The Sopranos 27:02 Drea's thoughts on playing the role of an informant 28:54 Did Drea know how her character would leave the show? 33:01 Popularity of Sopranos today 36:56 Drea on "Joey" Friends Spin-off 37:14 Drea Vaccine Backlash (Hollywood Blacklisted) 39:50 Drea going "down the rabbit hole" (finding out the truth) 44:09 Stem Cell Research for Health and Longevity 45:44 Decision not to take the vaccine 48:10 What the Left did with the Pro Choice movement 48:28 BLM 50:15 Drea Kicked out of Hollywood/Difficulty Finding work 54:59 How Drea got out of the mess and survived (Onlyfans) 01:00:00 How many people suffered because of being canceled 01:01:28 Drea's opinion on the Election - Harris and Trump 01:31:31 Rapid Fire Questions 01:34:24 Conclusion Backbone Media Group
