’90s Icon Susan Powter ‘Squirted Breast Milk’ at Man and ‘His Stupid Steak’ After Being Disrespected

Susan Powter, the fitness icon who rose to fame in the 1990s with her catchphrase “Stop the Insanity!,” does not tolerate disrespect.

The 67-year-old recalled in an interview with Entertainment Weekly published on Monday, November 24, that she was once shamed for breastfeeding in public.

At the time, the personal trainer was married to Nic Villarreal, with whom she shares sons Damien and Kiel, and had not yet skyrocketed to stardom.

“It was 1983, I’d just birthed a 10-pound baby,” Powter, who was living in Dallas, Texas, began.

According to EW, Powter was breastfeeding her son (likely Damien, who was reportedly born in 1983) and decided to feed him at the restaurant her husband worked at while she was waiting for his shift to end.

“I was on the patio, covering with a cotton diaper,” she explained. “I was being very respectful. A man eating a steak, he was cutting a steak, and turned and said, ‘That’s disgusting. Go to the bathroom and do that.’”

That’s when Powter quickly responded.

“[I said] ‘You go to the toilet,’ and I squirted breast milk at him in my husband’s restaurant,” Powter recalled. “Nobody supported me, so I squirted breast milk at him and his stupid steak.”

Powter and Villarreal divorced in 1988. The following year, she met second husband Lincoln Apeland and married him weeks later, but they divorced in 1995. She adopted her third son, Gabriel, who was born in 1998.

The nutritionist now identifies as a lesbian, telling EW: “Now I’m a huge lesbian. Total lesbian, great love affairs, many girlfriends, big fun. Best fun ever!”
