How does an Emmy winner from The Sopranos end up on OnlyFans to save her house? Brandon Straka asks Drea de Matteo directly in Episode 11 of The Brandon Straka Show.
Drea talks about growing up in Queens, getting sober at 21, playing Adriana La Cerva, and stepping away from Hollywood. She describes refusing the COVID vaccine as acting work dried up and her home was at risk. She also says she started on The Sopranos at $500 per episode and receives no residuals from the show now.
They discuss her votes for Biden and Trump, her support for RFK Jr., and why she may never vote for president again.
Brandon challenges her hope for Trump: is his administration fixing Washington or just stopping the bleeding? There’s also a Desperate Housewives Botox story and a possible walk-on role for Brandon.
Episode 10 of The Brandon Straka Show features the return of DOJ whistleblower Jonathan Gross for a follow-up to “Betrayal of the Base”.Less than one hour after Brandon promoted their first interview, Harmeet Dhillon called him and accused Gross of being a disgruntled employee who had been fired for misconduct. In this episode, Gross responds to those claims.The conversation examines stalled DOJ reform, January 6th prosecutions, coercive plea deals, the Matthew Perna case, and four lawsuits Gross has filed involving DOJ and FBI leadership. Gross says he is not seeking financial compensation. He is seeking investigations, transparency, and reform.The episode also considers whether demanding accountability supports President Trump’s stated agenda and whether enough time remains to deliver the reforms his supporters expected.TIMESTAMPS00:00:00 – Official Trailer00:03:34 – “Betrayal of the Base” Was Only the Beginning00:05:58 – Harmeet Dhillon Called Brandon Straka00:13:44 – Was Jonathan Gross Really Fired for Misconduct?00:14:55 – Gross Alleges a Million-Dollar Access Industry00:24:10 – “We Are Officially Running Out of Time”00:33:11 – Dhillon’s Response to January 6th Critics00:36:59 – “Nobody at DOJ Was Working on January 6th”00:43:11 – Four Lawsuits Against Blanche, Dhillon, Pirro, and Patel00:44:23 – How January 6th Defendants Were Pressured to Plead Guilty00:49:52 – “What Guardrails Are There to Stop This?”00:59:57 – Matthew Perna’s Prosecutor Still Works for DOJ01:10:27 – Gross Is Not Asking for Money.
