Bridget sits down with Drea de Matteo, star of The Sopranos, to discuss her personal and political evolution, their mutual gratitude for being part of Gen X, how Drea never intended to become a political activist, how COVID and the lockdowns influenced her thinking and led her to start questioning her preconceptions about the Left and the Right, why it took her until the very last moment to come out in support for Trump, and why she did it even while recognizing that it could damage her ability to work in Hollywood again. They cover Drea’s decision to join OnlyFans to save her house, how her daughter’s political journey influenced her own, what Gen Z has been through and the lasting effect the pandemic had on them, the state of the entertainment industry and why art is dead if everyone is too afraid to take risks, addiction, self-discovery, and her commitment to maintaining authenticity despite industry pressures. Check out Drea’s new streetwear line, ULTRAFREE. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Walk-Ins Welcome with Bridget Phetasy - Podcast Bridget Phetasy admires grit and authenticity.
