Joanne Padilla, the owner of the Albuquerque home where Breaking Bad's Walter White was filmed, reveals the darker side of fame since the show's premiere. Initially welcoming the spotlight, the situation soon escalated into an obsession among fans that resulted in theft, vandalism, and alarming incidents like being SWAT-ted. In a recent viral incident, Padilla was seen spraying fans with a hose as they gathered outside her home, illustrating the ongoing challenges she faces as the show's legacy continues to draw crowds.
"In the beginning, it was fun... And then about mid-season, it started to get more of a cult following—an obsession."
"People would steal things from the property or tag it with graffiti. They would leave unidentified packages at the door."
