Loni Willison, former model and ex-wife of Baywatch star Jeremy Jackson, was seen this week living on the streets of Los Angeles. The 40-year-old was spotted on June 29 smoking a cigarette and pushing a cart of belongings, dressed in layered clothing and accessories.
Willison’s life declined after her 2014 split from Jackson, to whom she was married for under two years. She has recently been seen searching for food and essentials, a stark contrast to her past as a magazine cover model.
In May, she was photographed dumpster diving for hygiene products, and earlier this year seen wandering the city with paint-stained hands and shopping at a 99 Cents store. Willison has blamed her downward spiral on her marriage, telling X17 Online that “getting married… set everything up.”
She also revealed she suffered a 2016 mental breakdown, leading to delusions, addiction, and eventually homelessness. Despite her struggles, she says she doesn’t want help: “I can live on my own. I’ve got everything I need right here.”
Cindy Kovacs, another of Jackson’s exes, expressed sadness over Willison’s condition, saying she never got the help she needed.
