Once a successful model and fitness instructor, Loni Willison now roams the streets of Los Angeles, far removed from her former life.
The ex-wife of “Baywatch” star Jeremy Jackson was recently seen scavenging through trash cans on Venice Beach with a cart filled with blankets and clothes. Her untidy hair and disheveled appearance reflect a stark contrast to the beauty she once possessed.
Loni’s decline began after her 2014 divorce from Jackson, which seemed to trigger a downward spiral. She struggled with depression, losing her job and home, and developed an addiction to drugs and alcohol.
Despite facing immense hardship, she consistently rejected offers for help, asserting her independence. In October, she stated, “I have everything I need.”
Though Loni and Jeremy married in 2012, their brief union ended in divorce. Despite efforts from well-wishers, including a $90,000 rehab offer, Loni remained elusive, making only rare public appearances in recent years.
Her time on the streets began after facing eviction in 2018. Loni’s career in real estate ended abruptly, and she became addicted to methamphetamine.
Reports of domestic violence during her marriage added to the emotional toll, and she described a disturbing encounter where she thought she saw Jeremy outside her apartment.
Living on the streets has been a constant struggle for Loni, who shared stories of theft and survival, emphasizing the harsh reality of life on the streets.
Her story is a poignant reminder of how unexpected life events can drastically change someone’s path, even for those who once lived in the limelight.
