She had MILLIONS, was a STAR, and now lives as HOMELESS: “My ex-husband ruined me, this is how my DOWNFALL started.”
|Former model and actress Loni Willison (41) was spotted on the streets this week, where she has lived for years. Once a star of the series Baywatch, she used to enjoy fame, wealth, and what could be called a decent, dignified life. That was before the problems that led to her homelessness. Once her downfall began, there was no turning back.

Loni Willison, now living on the streets of Los Angeles, blames her ex-husband, Jeremy Jackson, for everything. When asked who was responsible for her downfall, she told X17 Online, “My ex-husband. Getting married. At least I got divorced… it all started there.”
The former actress and Jackson were married for two years, divorcing in 2014. She claimed that Jeremy attempted to strangle her during a fight while both were intoxicated.

Once a model who appeared on the covers of magazines like Glam Fit, Flavour, and Iron Man, she did not appear in public for years after her divorce, until it was revealed in 2018 that she was homeless. In an interview with the Daily Mail that year, she explained that she suffered a nervous breakdown and began believing that someone was sending electric shocks into her body, a feeling that she could only stop by using crystal meth.
In an interview with X17 Online, she said she endured severe pain and couldn’t live in a house because someone had subjected her to electric shocks for a year. Now, she cannot be near electricity. “I think because I have electricity, I attract other things, like certain chemicals or batteries, or fuses, wires, different types of metals, so I think my body even filters these things,” Loni explained, sharing that her photos have shocked the public in recent months.
In 2015, Loni, who also practiced bodybuilding, first spoke negatively about her ex-husband. The Los Angeles Police Department told the Daily Mail that in 2014, they received a domestic violence call from their family home. Loni sustained two broken ribs, neck injuries, and scratches on her face and body. However, the case was dismissed because she didn’t want to press charges against Jackson.

“I didn’t report him when he attacked me because I was scared. Emotionally, I was broken and didn’t want him to go to jail. But I think I should have,” she confessed in 2015 to The Sun.
Sad images of Loni’s everyday life on the streets of Los Angeles show a stark reality. Despite the hope that someone might help her, there has been little improvement over the years.
