Los Angeles, California – Emmy-winning actress Drea de Matteo recently opened up in a podcast interview with Donald Trump Jr., revealing that many prominent celebrities, including herself, are quietly opposed to the Biden administration’s agenda but are reluctant to speak out. Best known for her role in HBO’s “The Sopranos,” De Matteo has been a vocal critic of cancel culture, even launching a streetwear brand called “Ultrafree” to advocate for free speech.
During the podcast episode of “Triggered” with Donald Trump Jr., De Matteo discussed her shifting views on issues such as illegal immigration. Previously sympathetic to illegal immigrants, she expressed a change of heart due to the surge of chaos at the border. Reflecting on her past support for Biden, De Matteo now questions the motives behind mass illegal immigration, particularly the influx of able-bodied, fighting-age men.
Despite still considering herself a liberal, De Matteo has vocally opposed modern far-left trends for quite some time. She admitted that she was initially hesitant to speak out but felt compelled to do so once she felt “thrown to the wolves.” Supported by her boyfriend, children, and faith, De Matteo emphasized the importance of freedom and unity based on shared values, rather than the divisiveness she perceives in the current administration.
In the podcast, Trump Jr. also alluded to other Hollywood actors who share De Matteo’s reservations about leftist policies but may not have the courage to voice their opinions publicly. De Matteo highlighted the fear within Hollywood of engaging in discussions around contentious issues like race and gender, fearing backlash from liberal circles.
De Matteo further criticized the Biden administration’s approach, accusing it of using social agendas as political pawns to further its own agenda. She argued that the divisive tactics employed by the administration have left many in Hollywood feeling intimidated and unable to openly express their true beliefs.
Overall, De Matteo’s candid conversation with Trump Jr. sheds light on the challenges faced by celebrities who hold opposing views in an industry that often leans heavily towards liberal ideologies. Her willingness to speak out, despite potential backlash, underscores the importance of open dialogue and free expression in a climate where differing opinions are increasingly met with hostility.
