Your house where Walter White descended into criminal infamy has a brand-new antihero - however one armed not with blue meth or a barrel of money, but a garden hose pipe.

Joanne Quintana, the real-life owner of the renowned Breaking Bad home in Albuquerque, New Mexico has actually finally had adequate and reached her own snapping point.

Years of trespassers and photo-hungry superfans have turned her home into a zone of conflict in between a personal life and popular culture obsession. Now Quintana is taking matters into her own hands and striking back.

In a video posted to Instagram, Quintana can be seen resting on a yard chair in her front lawn keeping watch.

When fans remain too long or come too close to her residential or commercial property, she leaps into action and blasts them with a powerful jet of water from her garden hose before barking commands at them to keep away.

'You can take a photo from that corner,' she can be heard informing one stunned visitor. 'Do not get close. And no tripods, no absolutely nothing. One image, then you go!'

The ranch-style home on Piermont Drive was immortalized on screen as the house of Walter White, his partner Skylar, and their son Walt Jr. in AMC's Emmy-winning masterpiece, Breaking Bad, which ranged from 2008 up until 2013.

For five seasons, your house stood in as the sign of White's descent as he went from struggling teacher to ruthless drug kingpin.

The ranch-style house on Piermont Drive was commemorated on screen as the house of Walter White, his spouse Skylar, and their child Walt Jr. in Breaking Bad from 2008 up until 2013

And while the program ended 12 years back, your house and other recording areas around town continue to pull in crowds of fans wishing to see where the program was set.

White and his on-screen home since familiar to millions of fans around the world.

But for Quintana, it has actually always been her home after her parents purchased the residential or commercial property in the 1970s.

She matured in your home together with her brother or sisters. She enjoyed the show's production unfold from her front patio, and even befriended cast and team in the early days.

It all began after Quintana's mom was approached in 2006 by a movie scout with hopes to shoot the pilot episode at their home. Within months the filming had begun.

At the time, she told KOB-TV that it seemed like 'the magic of Hollywood.'

The household had the opportunity to see behind the scenes and meet the cast and team. Quintana's mom also always had cookies for anybody working the set.

But in the years since Breaking Bad ended, Quintana has actually seen the home transformed into something of a popular culture expedition website.

The home's listing has actually approached its sale as a relic of the program, calling it House and offering it as a possibility to own a 'piece of television history'

Whilst the program was completed more than a decade earlier, the house and other filming locations around town continue to attract crowds of fans hoping to capture a glance

The household didn't shy away at welcoming fans initially however when the doorbell called in the early hours of the morning their attitude altered

Tour buses come down her street while selfie stick-holding fans routinely appear at dawn. Fans have taken the 'reenactment' of famous scenes from the show to absurd brand-new heights.

On more than one event, die-hard fans have hurled whole pizzas onto her garage roof, mimicking the notorious scene where Bryan Cranston's character loses his cool and tosses a pie after his character's partner, Skyler, shut the door in his face.

Since then, the property owners said it was difficult to stop fans from trying their own pizza tosses or sneaking into the iconic backyard pool.

The home was just used for gear and preparation. Any interior scenes were shot on a set at the studio lot.

The stunt ended up being such a problem that Breaking Bad creator Vince Gilligan had to personally step in on a 2022 episode of the Better Call Saul podcast.

'There is nothing original, or funny, or cool, about tossing a pizza on this woman's roofing system,' Gilligan stated, exasperated.

'She is the sweetest lady worldwide, and if you are getting on her nerves you are doing something seriously f *** ing wrong.'

Initially, Quintana was happy to take pictures with fans, however when there was a knock at the door in the early hours of the morning the household's attitude quickly changed.

'Around 4:30 am the doorbell called, my mother got up and unlocked and it was a plan,' Quintana said. The plan was dealt with to Walter While, so they called the bomb team.

'My bros stated "That's it, we're done, fence is increasing. That's too close for comfort is the front door",' she added.

She has since set up a perimeter fence to keep individuals back but has now taken to hosing down unwanted visitors with her pipe when her pleas go neglected.

'Back up, cowboy,' she told one visitor attempting to inch closer for a much better shot.

When another gushed that he was a fan of the show, she snapped back: 'The entire world is a fan. Doesn't impress me.'

The viral clip has actually divided opinion online. Some audiences support Quintana, calling her 'a legend' defending her right to secure her residential or commercial property while others have buffooned her habits, recommending she might instead have actually profited from the attention.

'She simply sits there all the time and tells people how foolish they are lol,' one commenter wrote.

'If she was wise, she 'd begin charging,' another quipped.

'The street and pathway are public residential or commercial property,' added a 3rd, questioning her legal footing.

In January, the stress appeared to boil over. Quintana silently noted the home for $4 million, a figure that shows not simply the residential or commercial property, but the concern that comes with it.

In current months a fence has actually now been erected to keep fans back from the home

The three-bedroom, two-bathroom home was referred to as one of Albuquerque's 'most famous landmarks' that is acknowledged globally by countless fans.

Some fans have even proposed that she lease the home out on Airbnb to capitalize its notoriety.

The home's listing has actually approached its sale as accepting it as a relic of the program, calling it Walter White's House and offering it as an opportunity to own a 'piece of television history.'

'I hope they make it what the fans desire. They desire a BnB, they want a museum, they want access to it. Go all out,' Quintana said.
