'90s fitness icon Susan Powter calls herself a

Motivational fitness media personality Susan Powter — renowned for her catchphrase “Stop the insanity!” — described herself as a “total lesbian” in a recent interview with Entertainment Weekly, though she has come out before. Now 67, the Australian-born influencer rose to prominence in the 1990s after sharing her weight‑loss journey: she reportedly grew to 260 pounds following a divorce from a cheating husband, then slimmed down to 114 pounds through dieting and fitness. Through infomercials and television appearances, she marketed motivational audiotapes, fitness videos, low‑fat recipes, plus‑size exercise clothing, and her memoir Stop the Insanity!, along with six other books written over the course of her career. Although she accumulated a $300 million fortune, she filed for bankruptcy in 1995 due to poor money management and lawsuits related to her business, according to Advocate. She currently resides in Las Vegas, delivering food via Uber Eats. “Total lesbian, great love affairs, many girlfriends, big fun — best fun ever!,” she told Entertainment Weekly while promoting her upcoming documentary Stop the Insanity: Finding Susan Powter (produced by LGBTQ+ ally Jamie Lee Curtis, mother of a trans child). In the documentary, Powter is confronted with an episode of her 1994 talk show, The Susan Powter Show, titled “How to Meet a Man.” When videographers ask if she would like to view it, she says, “I’d never do a segment like that [now].”
