“The Sopranos” star Drea de Matteo slammed fellow Italians Dr. Anthony Fauci and Robert De Niro on national television on Monday night, saying she’s “mortified by my people.”
During the 52-year-old actress’ appearance on “Jesse Watters Primetime,” Matteo called out Hollywood’s support for President Joe Biden after a video montage played showing several celeb endorsements, and she was asked if there’s a “quiet Trump voter out there in Hollywood.”
“I think there is a lot of them. I think there are a lot of — that was a hard intro to watch. I’m sorry,” de Matteo said, laughing, referencing the video montage, which included De Niro ranting about Trump outside a New York City courthouse.
“No, it’s the Italian, man. We’re talking about Fauci [former head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Disease (NIAID)], we’re talking about De Niro. I am mortified right now by my people,” she added. “I don’t understand what we’re doing here. Anyhow, yes. Yes, there are a lot of quiet Trump supporters, there are a lot of [Robert F.] Kennedy [Jr.] supporters.”

“And wow, I wonder how much these actors got paid to endorse Biden at this point,” de Matteo continued. “I’m curious, because that seems — I wonder if De Niro got paid a location’s fee because he had to travel to the courtroom to do that.”
The host then asked how it would work, suggesting actors possibly couldn’t get just get paid cash and that it might have to be more of a “silent deal like, ‘Oh, we’ll give you this next role or you know we’ll get you a book deal.’ Is it something like that, or an appearance fee?”
“I don’t know. I don’t really maneuver inside that industry. I never have,” the actress replied. “First of all, ‘Sopranos,’ we were the outcasts, even though we were the 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,” she added while laughing, referencing her character being killed on the hit show after saying too much.
De Matteo recently made headlines when she said that the Biden administration has been used to “divide people” and called the focus on left-wing issues a distraction from more important matters.
Speaking recently to Fox News’ “The Story,” the “Desperate Housewives” actress said others in Hollywood fear that if they speak out about Biden being a divisive leader, something will happen to them personally.
“Life imitating art, just for speaking out to the feds or whatever, you know?” de Matteo said, referencing her character’s end on the hit show.
