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 breaking point.

Years of trespassers and photo-hungry superfans have turned her home into a zone of conflict in between a private life and pop culture fascination. 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 lawn chair in her front backyard keeping watch.

When fans linger too long or come too near to her residential or commercial property, she jumps 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 telling one stunned visitor. 'Do not get close. And no tripods, no nothing. One photo, 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 kid Walt Jr. in AMC's Emmy-winning masterpiece, Breaking Bad, which ranged from 2008 till 2013.

For 5 seasons, the house stood in as the sign of White's descent as he went from struggling teacher to ruthless drug kingpin.

And while the program ended 12 years back, your house and other shooting places around town continue to draw in crowds of fans hoping to see where the show was set.

White and his on-screen home since familiar to countless fans all over 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 house along with her siblings. She enjoyed the show's production unfold from her front deck, and even befriended cast and team in the early days.

It all began after Quintana's mom was approached in 2006 by a with wish 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 chance to watch behind the scenes and meet the cast and crew. Quintana's mom also always had cookies for anybody working the set.

But in the years since Breaking Bad ended, Quintana has seen your house changed into something of a popular culture expedition website.

The home's listing has approached its sale as an antique of the program, calling it Walter White's House and providing it as a possibility to own a 'piece of tv history'

Whilst the show was settled more than a decade back, your house and other recording locations around town continue to attract crowds of fans wishing to catch a look

The family didn't hesitate at inviting fans at very first but when the doorbell called in the early hours of the early morning their attitude changed

Tour buses boil down her street while selfie stick-holding fans routinely appear at dawn. Fans have taken the 'reenactment' of popular scenes from the program to ridiculous new heights.

On more than one occasion, die-hard fans have tossed entire pizzas onto her garage roofing system, mimicking the infamous scene where Bryan Cranston's character loses his cool and tosses a pie after his character's other half, Skyler, shut the door in his face.

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

Your home was only 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 intervene on a 2022 episode of the Better Call Saul podcast.

'There is absolutely nothing original, or funny, or cool, about throwing a pizza on this girl's roofing,' Gilligan stated, exasperated.

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

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

'Around 4:30 am the doorbell called, my mother got up and opened the door and it was a bundle,' Quintana stated. The bundle was resolved to Walter While, so they called the bomb squad.

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

She has since installed a perimeter fence to keep individuals back but has now taken to hosing down unwanted guests with her tube when her pleas go disregarded.

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

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

The viral clip has actually split opinion online. Some audiences support Quintana, calling her 'a legend' protecting her right to safeguard her residential or commercial property while others have actually mocked her habits, suggesting she could instead have actually taken advantage of the attention.

'She just sits there all the time and informs people how stupid they are lol,' one commenter wrote.

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

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

In January, the tension 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 burden that includes it.

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

The three-bedroom, two-bathroom home was referred to as among Albuquerque's 'most famous landmarks' that is recognized internationally by countless fans.

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

The home's listing has actually approached its sale as embracing it as a relic of the show, calling it Walter White's House and providing it as a chance to own a 'piece of television history.'
