‘Baywatch’ star Jeremy Jackson’s ex-wife Loni Willison spotted looking for food in LA waste
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Former glamorous swimsuit model and the ex-wife of ‘Baywatch’ star Jeremy Jackson, Loni Willison, was recently seen in Los Angeles while searching for food in a waste bin. As per reports, the 39-year-old has been living on the streets for over half a decade.
The Daily Mail reported that before the LA sighting, she was also found wandering in Santa Monica while pushing a shopping cart. Willison, who had worked on the TV series ‘Expose’, has not been in good condition after her divorce from Jackson in 2014.

At the time, The Sun approached her and she told the publication, “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.” She also noted, “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. 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 dirtier I am the better'
The ex-beauty, who was once the cover girl of Australia’s Glam Fit magazine, said during a 2018 interview, “I was getting tortured in my home, my apartment. I was living by myself but I was getting electrocuted. It was really bad, really horrible. I later found a red mark on the back of my neck and I think that was how the electricity was getting into my head.”
She also revealed how she was surviving on the streets. “I get robbed all the time. People take my stuff. I basically make myself as dirty as possible so that no one attacks me. The dirtier I am the better. Smelly, too. If I do those two things, that seems to work. I cut off my hair, too, to look different. I cut it myself. But I have been attacked, that's bound to happen, too."
Meanwhile, Willison’s ex Jackson had also struggled with addiction in the past. He once reportedly shared, “I smoked pot every day, and I did cocaine until it stopped working.” The 42-year-old actor spoke on Celebrity Rehab With Dr Drew in 2011, “I had the fame, I had the girls, I had the money, and I threw it away. My drug of choice was crystal meth, and it was big-time downhill from that point on. I was drinking, doing coke, chasing this high with girls and sex. It was out of control.”
