"I have no regrets for the mistakes I have made, and my side of the street is clean," the "Ring of Darkness" star stated while admitting that he wasn't perfect.

After their divorce, Willison struggled financially because she lost her job and wasn't working as a model. As a result, she couldn't pay her apartment rent or keep up with her car's expenses.
