Loni Willison was once the object of many's affection. She was a prominent figure in the late 1990s and early 2000s, but her life has changed dramatically since her high fashion days.

Now, she lives a difficult life, with her former fans seeing her engaging in strange behaviors. Willison has said that her life is how it is now because of her ex-husband and their messy divorce.

Willison was a fitness model known for her gorgeous physique and bouncy blonde hair. She was also married to "Baywatch" star Jeremy Jackson. However, she has recently been seen searching for food in dumpsters.

Earlier this month, nearly ten years after her divorce from Jackson, Willison was caught removing an orange that appeared to be still intact from a dumpster. Willison is homeless and seems to transport all her belongings in a shopping cart.

In May 2023, Willison confirmed that her life had begun to fall apart following her 2014 divorce from her ex-husband. The couple had been married for two years before their acrimonious split.

After their divorce, Willison lost her job and home as she battled drug addiction and mental health issues. The pair allegedly split after a drunken fight with Jackson left Willison with injuries.

Willison has been homeless for six years, living in Venice as she reportedly battles an addiction to crystal meth. When asked how she ended up in her situation, she blamed her husband. “He set everything up to do this to me," she alleged,

She has recently been interviewed about her life on the street and spoke to the interviewer about her feelings and what has led her to the place she is in today. In the interview, she is seen in grubby clothing with all her belongings beside her.

What Did Willison Say About Her Ex-Husband?

Opening up about what her seemingly perfect Hollywood marriage was like behind closed doors, Willison said that it was filled with abuse. On the night in question that led to their split, Willison said her ex-husband had tried to strangle her.

At the time, Willison was working as a plastic surgeon's assistant but lost her job following the divorce. She was then evicted from her home due to her drug addiction and began sleeping rough.

Willison has often been seen on the street and blames her ex-husband for the downturn of her life. The former model believes that Jackson purposely did everything that led her to where she is now.

In 2018, after friends tried and failed to get her into rehab twice, Willison disappeared for a while. She was found again in 2020 when her ex-husband turned 40. When asked about Willison, Jackson said:

"All I can tell you is that my attention, my time, my focus is where I can be most effective, and we're doing all right."

Jackson has not said anything about his ex-wife since. Now, Willison is seen roaming the streets and looking for food in dumpsters as she carts all her belongings.

In a video that surfaced online, Willison was seen sitting at a bus stop with her shopping cart and talking to an interviewer who asked her where everything went wrong. She once again blamed her marriage. The interviewer bought her food, and she thanked him as she graciously took it. She mentioned she was excited about the food.

How Does Willison Live Now

When Willison was once again seen on the streets in May this year, people were curious about her and her health. She mentioned she was in pain and that her stomach was the worst pain she was feeling. She said she could not live indoors because of electricity:

"I think because [I pick] up on the electricity, I also pick up on other things, like certain chemicals or batteries, or fuses, like wire, different types of metals. So I think my body even filters that kind of stuff."

For this reason, Willison prefers to sleep rough and will not enter a homeless shelter. She alleged she was sensitive to electricity because she had been electrocuted daily for years.

When Willison was asked whether or not she had sought help, she mentioned that there was no help that anybody could offer her. She also said she's not unhappy with her situation, saying there are good parts and bad parts.

One person noticed Willison's bruised fingers and suggested that since they were so severely injured, she should get them checked, but she assured the person that she would be fine and that someone had broken her fingers. She also explained the good and bad parts of being homeless.

Willison sees being able to interact more with nature as one of the more positive aspects of sleeping rough in Venice, Los Angeles. She says she has also developed new ways of communicating since being homeless.

Regarding the negative aspects of homelessness, Willison mentioned the unseen spiritual things she has been through. She admitted she was "in a lot of pain" from whatever was in her environment.

While she is no longer in contact with her old acquaintances, she revealed that she had made many new friends since living on the streets. She believes she is doing "very well" with the cards she has been dealt.

In the videos of Willison, her hands appear grubby, and her front teeth are missing. However, she speaks openly about her struggles with living on the streets and being unable to walk inside a building.

Willison said she could walk past a building on the outside, but as soon as she steps inside, she moves the building's walls with the electricity she still has inside of her, from being electrocuted.

The former model also believes she needs an x-ray to confirm her suspicions about her body filtering certain metals, batteries, and wires. She then thanked the person interviewing her as he told her he wouldn't take up any more of her time.
