Former model Loni Willison, 41, was seen rummaging through a Los Angeles dumpster on New Year’s Day, marking another tragic chapter in the life of Jeremy Jackson’s ex-wife. Willison, who was once a successful fitness model appearing in magazines such as Glam Fit and Iron Man, was spotted retrieving a discarded Christmas tree and placing items into her trolley while walking down the street.
Dressed in a floral dress, baseball cap, and leopard-print boots, Willison’s appearance highlighted her fall from grace. Her struggles with homelessness began in 2018 after years out of the public eye. She has since opened up about her mental health and addiction issues, revealing a difficult journey.
In a 2018 interview with Daily Mail, Willison recounted her mental breakdown in 2016, during which she believed she was being subjected to electrical currents in her body—a delusion she said drove her to use crystal meth. Willison stated that she now avoids living indoors, claiming she experiences pain when exposed to electricity.
“I can’t live inside anywhere because someone electrocuted me every day for nearly a year, and I can’t be around electricity,” she said in an interview in May 2023.
Willison has also alleged that her tumultuous marriage to Baywatch actor Jackson played a role in her struggles. The couple divorced in 2014 after less than two years of marriage, with Willison accusing Jackson of physical abuse during a domestic altercation. The incident reportedly left her with broken ribs and other injuries, though she opted not to press charges at the time.
“I didn’t report him when he attacked me because I was scared,” she told The Sun in 2021. “I was in a bad place emotionally, and I didn’t want Jeremy to go to jail.”
Jackson, now 44, has spoken publicly about his grief over Willison’s decline, describing her as “the love of my life.” He admitted to feeling helpless as she spiraled into addiction and mental illness.
“The woman I was in love with is gone, and whoever she is mentally now is not who I knew,” Jackson said in an October 2023 interview with Daily Mail.
