The home 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 iconic Breaking Bad home in Albuquerque, New Mexico has lastly had enough and reached her own snapping point.

Years of intruders and photo-hungry superfans have actually turned her home into a zone of dispute in between a private life and pop 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 lawn chair in her front lawn keeping watch.

When fans remain too long or come too near 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 an image 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 house on Piermont Drive was immortalized on screen as the house of Walter White, his partner Skylar, and their child Walt Jr. in AMC's Emmy-winning masterpiece, Breaking Bad, which ran from 2008 up until 2013.

For 5 seasons, your home stood in as the symbol of White's descent as he went from struggling teacher to callous drug kingpin.

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

She matured in your house together with her siblings. She viewed the program's production unfold from her front deck, and even befriended cast and crew in the early days.

It all started after Quintana's mom was approached in 2006 by a film scout with wish to shoot the pilot episode at their home. Within months the recording had started.

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

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

Since then, the house owners stated it was difficult to stop fans from attempting their own pizza tosses or slipping into the iconic backyard pool.

Your home was only used for equipment and prep. Any interior scenes were shot on a set at the studio lot.

The stunt became 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 absolutely nothing initial, or funny, or cool, about throwing a pizza on this girl's roofing system,' Gilligan said, exasperated.

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

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