Former Baywatch star, Jeremy Jackson's ex-wife, Loni Willison, has been spotted in photographs that depict her life on the streets, dumpster diving and lugging a shopping cart full of her belongings around. As per the Daily Mail, she has been homeless since 2018.

Jackson and Willison's marriage met its demise in 2014 when allegations of domestic violence began swirling. It was then that the latter's struggles with mental health and substance abuse began. She reportedly began abusing methamphetamine, and in the final year of their marriage, Jackson told the Daily Mail, Willison allegedly became highly paranoid with sudden bouts of anxiety attacks and hallucinations.


Everything to know about Loni Willison and Jeremy Jackson's marriage as the latter says he lost the love of his life

In an exclusive interview with the Daily Mail, Jackson reflected on his ex-wife's downward spirals, noting that he no longer recognized her:

"Losing her was like the death of somebody, and I tried to bring her back and I couldn't. The woman I was in love with is gone, and whoever she is mentally now is not who I knew."

He revealed that after their marriage ended, it took him four years to learn that Loni Willison had been living on the streets by 2018. He also revealed that it took him two years to grieve their marriage:

"I lost the love of my life. I lost the only woman I've ever proposed to, the only woman I've ever wanted to marry. I'm 44-years-old. I still have not proposed or wanted to marry anyone else. She was my choice, the only choice I ever made, and I lost it," Jackson told The Daily Mail.

He also revealed that he tried his best to save their union, such as by taking Loni Willison to therapy sessions and regularly going to mass. However, he claims, Willison had tried to execute a "hostile takeover" of his money, wasting away thousands of dollars and changing the deed of his car to under her name before he could figure it out.

At one point, she began covertly recording him, including the infamous 2014 tape where she can be seen calling 911 and accusing Jackson of trying to kill her. However, the latter defended himself, noting:

"She set me up and started screaming that I was hurting her when I did nothing to her. There are no hospital records. There are no doctor bills. There are no X-rays there are no pictures. She attacked me while recording, screaming, ‘you're hurting me’. I have not seen her since that day,’" he told DailyMail.com.

Jackson added:

"I went through the biggest depression of my life for two years after. For two years I was in and out of rehabs, crying, doing grief and loss counseling, writing goodbye letters to her, doing deep therapeutic psychiatric work because I lost the love of my life."

Over the years, Loni Willison has been vocal about her struggles with addiction, though she has often attributed her problems to her failed union with Jackson. Despite her family and friends offering to help her, she declined, noting that living on the streets suits her best.


Loni Willison is most known for her work as Kira Mickaels in the 2005 thriller film, Expose. She is also known for having posed on the cover images of magazines like Glam Fit and Flavour. Following the demise of their marriage, Jackson himself spiraled into his battles with depression and alcohol abuse.

As reported by the Daily Mail, today, Jackson is clean and works as a fitness coach and sober mentor for fellow recovering addicts.
