Loni Willison, once a model and the ex-wife of “Baywatch” actor Jeremy Jackson, was recently seen surviving tough conditions on the streets of Los Angeles. At 40 years old, Willison was spotted pushing a shopping cart filled with blankets, smoking a cigarette, and appearing deep in thought. Her layered outfit and worn accessories tell a story far removed from the glamorous past she once lived.
Willison’s life took a challenging turn after her split from Jackson in 2014, which followed their brief marriage of fewer than two years. Recently, she has been seen searching for food and essentials, even rummaging through dumpsters for hygiene products—an image starkly contrasting with her earlier years when she graced magazine covers and enjoyed a successful modeling career.
She has openly pointed to her marriage as the start of her troubles and revealed struggles with mental health, including a 2016 breakdown where she believed she was being harmed by electrical currents and turned to crystal meth. These hardships have led her to homelessness and ongoing battles with addiction and mental illness.
Despite these challenges, Willison has said she doesn’t want help and prefers to live independently on her own terms. Others close to her express sorrow that she hasn’t yet received the support she needs. Her story shines a light on the complex realities of mental health, addiction, and homelessness, reminding us of the importance of compassion and understanding in difficult times.
