Biography
Ruth is divorced and has a daughter, Laura Powers, who no longer lives with her. The circumstances behind Ruth's divorce aren't explained, but she has said her ex-husband acts similar to Homer, and he was continually stiffing Ruth on child support. For revenge, she stole his car.[1]
Ruth and Marge once went on the run from the law after Ruth stole her ex-husband's convertible.[1] The auto theft charges against Ruth were dismissed, but she was later imprisoned for a short time for another offense (not specified). While she was in prison, Ruth became a bodybuilder, earned the title "Miss Mexican Mafia," and took steroids to expand her muscles.[2]
Ruth's house was seen being sold after the Financial Crisis hit Springfield, and it was bought by a disguised Sideshow Bob. After Bob was arrested and sent back to jail, the house was bought by a distant relative of Ned Flanders.[3]
Ruth is one of the few female patrons at Moe's Tavern,[4] and is often seen at Alcoholics Anonymous meetings.
