Loni Willison, once a successful fitness model and magazine cover star, is now living homeless on the streets of California, often seen digging through dumpsters with a shopping cart carrying her few belongings. Her dramatic fall from fame began after her divorce from Baywatch actor Jeremy Jackson in 2014, just two years after their marriage.
In a rare interview with X17 Online in May 2023, Loni blamed her ex-husband for her downward spiral, accusing him of once trying to strangle her. Following the divorce, she suffered from mental health struggles including anxiety and depression, and developed addictions to alcohol and crystal meth, which led to her losing both her job and home.
Despite receiving multiple offers of help, Loni has repeatedly refused assistance, saying, “I don’t need help. I have everything I need.” She claims she’s unable to live indoors due to a strange belief that she was “electrocuted” daily for a year and now reacts to electricity, chemicals, and metals, suggesting she may suffer from delusions.
Photos show Loni missing teeth and wearing dirty, oversized clothing, a stark contrast to her glamorous past. Meanwhile, Jeremy Jackson has faced his own troubles, including drug addiction and a prison sentence in 2017 following a violent incident.
Loni’s story reflects a tragic decline and ongoing struggle with mental illness, addiction, and homelessness. Once admired for her beauty and success, she now fights each day for survival, with little connection to the world she once knew.
