Former ‘Baywatch’ Star’s Ex-Wife in Distress—Caught Pushing a Shopping Cart in LA
Loni Willison, a former model and the ex-wife of *Baywatch* star Jeremy Jackson, was seen this week on the streets of Los Angeles.
On June 29, Willison, who is 40, was spotted smoking a cigarette and pushing a shopping cart full of blankets. She looked thoughtful and was wearing a layered top, skirt, leggings, white socks, and a backward baseball cap. She also had on several bracelets and a stack of necklaces.
Her life changed dramatically after her split from Jackson in 2014. The couple had been married for less than two years.
Recently, Loni Willison has been seen struggling to find food and essentials, highlighting the severe difficulties she’s facing. Jackson, who is known for his role as Hobie Buchannon on *Baywatch*, was her ex-husband.
In May, the Daily Mail captured photos of Willison dumpster diving for beauty and hygiene products like mouthwash. This is a stark contrast to her previous life, where she appeared on magazine covers like Glam Fit, Flavour, and Iron Man. Just a few months before, she was seen eating yogurt with paint-covered hands and wandering the city, and she had also been spotted shopping at the now-closed 99 Cents store.
Willison has publicly blamed her ex-husband Jackson for her troubles. In an interview with X17 Online, she said that her problems began with their marriage. “My ex-husband. Getting married. At least I got divorced… it set everything up,” she shared.
She also spoke to the Daily Mail about her mental health struggles, revealing that she had a breakdown in 2016. During this time, she believed that someone was sending electrical currents into her body and thought crystal meth was the only cure. Since then, she has lived on the streets and has struggled with addiction and mental health issues.
Reflecting on her situation, Willison said, “I haven’t spoken to Jeremy. I don’t want to talk to my friends; I’m doing just fine. I don’t want anyone to help me. I can live on my own. I’ve got everything I need right here.”
Cindy Kovacs, another of Jackson’s exes, also expressed her sadness about Willison’s situation. “It’s really sad what happened to Loni and she never got the help she needs,” Kovacs said.
Willison’s story is a poignant reminder of the challenges of mental health, addiction, and homelessness. Our thoughts are with her during this difficult time.
