Ex-Model On Addiction And Homeless Life: ‘I’m In A Lot Of Pain’

Loni Willison, a former fitness model and ex-wife of “Baywatch” actor Jeremy Jackson, has blamed Jackson for her severe decline in mental health, which ultimately led to her homelessness. Willison, now 39, has been spotted rummaging through dumpsters in California over the years. In a recent interview with X17 Online, she was asked where her life took a wrong turn.

“Getting married,” she responded, referring to her marriage to Jackson. “At least I got divorced. He set everything up to do this to me.”

Willison and Jackson’s turbulent relationship ended in 2014 after less than two years of marriage. Their breakup followed an incident where Jackson allegedly attempted to strangle Willison during a drunken argument. Jackson has not publicly responded to these allegations.

Willison, who once graced the covers of magazines like Flavour, Iron Man, and Glam Fit, disappeared from the public eye for nearly four years before reemerging in 2018. The once-stunning model resurfaced with a drastically different appearance—short hair, a disheveled look, and missing upper teeth—revealing a stark contrast to her former self.

In her interview on Friday, Willison expressed that she suffers from severe stomach pain and is in “a lot of pain” overall. She claimed that after being “electrocuted” daily for nearly a year, she can no longer live indoors or be around electricity. According to Willison, her sensitivity to electricity has also made her hypersensitive to chemicals, batteries, wires, and metals, which she believes her body can now detect and filter. She acknowledged that this would require a thorough medical examination to confirm.

When asked if she had sought help from the city of Los Angeles, Willison stated, “There’s nothing that anybody can offer me. Nothing can be done to assist.” Although she has been offered help in the past, she has never asked for it. While she admitted she’s not entirely content with her current situation, she mentioned that there are both “good parts and bad parts” to her life.

The interviewer also noticed that her fingers appeared severely injured, but Willison shrugged off the concern, saying, “I’ll be fine.”

In a previous interview with the Daily Mail in 2018, Willison discussed her struggles, revealing that she was addicted to crystal meth and claimed she was being “tortured” in her own apartment. Jeremy Jackson, now 42, has also faced his own battles with addiction, including drugs, steroids, and alcohol.

Jackson’s troubled past includes a 2017 plea deal to serve jail time for allegedly stabbing a woman in Los Angeles in 2015. He was also removed from the reality show “Celebrity Big Brother” in 2015 after reportedly tearing off model Chloe Goodman’s robe during a confrontation.
