Baywatch star Jeremy Jackson’s ex-wife, fitness model Loni Willison, was spotted rummaging for food in a dumpster in Los Angeles.
It has been reported that the 39-year-old former model has been living in homeless encampments in California for the last seven years.
Willison, who posed for a slew of magazines during her modeling career, was first spotted living on LA streets in 2016.
In the recent pictures snapped earlier this week, the former cover girl was seen pushing her shopping cart through the streets of Santa Monica. And while she did so, Loni appeared disheveled, missing several teeth with short hair.
Loni’s life seemed to have fallen apart after her split from the TV hunk, Jeremy Jackson. She was married to the Baywatch star, Jeremy Jackson from 2012 to 2014.
“While on the outside it seemed like their romance was picture perfect, Loni later claimed that Jeremy was physically abusive behind closed doors,” per Daily Mail.
“She alleged that their marriage was secretly filled with explosive drunken rows and nasty physical altercations that left her fearing for her life and suffering from multiple broken bones.”
The couple’s turbulent marriage ended due to an alleged drunken fight in which Jeremy reportedly attempted to strangle Loni.
After their split, the 42-year-old actor appeared in Celebrity Big Brother in 2015.
On the other hand, the toxic relationship left Willison reportedly struggling with addiction and mental health issues. Since then, she has often been seen wandering the streets, looking homeless, and digging through trash in search of food.
Two years after her split from Jackson, Willison lost her job at a cosmetic surgery center in Los Angeles after having a mental breakdown. She lost her apartment, car, and her savings and ended up living on the city streets.
In 2020, Loni spoke to The Sun after being found on the streets of LA and said she didn’t want anyone’s help.
“I haven’t spoken to Jeremy. I don’t want to speak to my friends, I’m doing just fine. I don’t want anyone to help me. I can live on my own. I’ve got everything I need right here. Nobody really cares about me and I don’t want to see them, they don’t want to see me.”
She told the outlet, “I haven’t got a cell phone. I’ve got food and I’ve got a place to sleep. I get money here and there and there’s food in the bins and near the stores. There’s lots here.”
The beauty model who was once on the cover of Australia’s Glam Fit magazine disappeared in October 2018 after one of her friends tried to get her into rehab.
“The blonde, who has several missing teeth, had been battling an addiction to crystal meth and alcohol, as well as mental health issues,” The Sun reported in 2020.
The ex-wife of Jeremy Jackson often walks around the streets of Los Angeles, dragging her ragtag cart in search of food and discarded clothing in the dumpsters.
