Loni Willison, once a glamorous model and ex-wife of ‘Baywatch’ actor Jeremy Jackson, has recently been seen living in very difficult conditions on the streets of Los Angeles. The 40-year-old was spotted pushing a shopping cart filled with blankets and smoking cigarettes, a stark contrast to her earlier life in the spotlight.
Willison and Jackson were married in 2012 but divorced two years later following a turbulent relationship marked by allegations of domestic violence and mental health struggles. Jeremy Jackson has spoken openly about trying to help Willison overcome drug addiction and psychological issues, but their marriage ended after a 2014 incident involving the police.

After their split, Willison’s life spiraled downward. In 2016, she suffered a severe mental breakdown and developed an addiction to crystal meth, which led to homelessness. Despite her past success modelling for well-known fitness magazines, recent photos show her scavenging for essentials and struggling with addiction on the streets.
Willison has said she doesn’t want to reconnect with her ex-husband or friends and prefers to manage on her own, although friends express concern for her wellbeing. Her story highlights the harsh realities many face battling mental illness, addiction, and homelessness, far from the glamor of her past.
