‘Sons of Anarchy’ Season 7: Gemma’s Dark Secret Will Remain In Her Closet
Known for her role as SAMCRO's matriarch in FX biker gang drama series, "Sons of Anarchy" star Katey Sagal believes that her character is not a psychopath after killing her son's wife.

But de Matteo revealed recently that she totally gets Gemma's decision on keeping the secret from Jax and letting him know the truth will not do any good.
"You sort of have an understanding. When she tells Juice - he asks 'how do you do it,' and she explains to him why and how, it makes sense," the "Sopranos" star exclusively told Hollywood Life. "You almost don't want Jax to know, because it really would just cause everyone to go really into the trenches, to the depths of hell. So her protecting him in that way makes sense to me, strangely enough. It's not right."
When she was asked if Gemma would tell Wendy the truth, the actress told the publication that her character will surely fears for her life as Gemma tried to kill her once. Now that Wendy is back in Abel's life, she will do anything to protect Jax's two sons from their unstable grandmother.
