Model turned homeless: how marriage to Baywatch hunk ruined Loni Willison’s life

At the beginning of 2010, Loni Willison shone at secular parties. She was quite a successful fitness model – a slim and fit spectacular blonde always found herself in the center of attention and attracted attention.

But then her life went downhill. In recent years, the former glamor star has been seen littering the streets of Los Angeles with trash cans. There was no trace of the former image: no platinum curls, no tan – Willison appeared in front of the paparazzi cameras in sloppy dirty clothes, with short hair and no upper teeth. Today, Loni is 39 years old, but the woman looks older than her age.

When reporters tried to talk to the model and find out what ruined her life, she assured that her ex-husband, Baywatch star Jeremy Jackson (played by Hobie Buchannon) was to blame.

When Loni was asked when everything went wrong, she replied: “This is my ex-husband. That I got married. At least I’m divorced. He arranged everything to do this to me.”

Jackson and Willison married in 2012 at a resort in Laguna Beach, California, and while their romance seemed perfect on the outside, she later claimed he physically abused her behind closed doors.

The model said their marriage was full of drunken scandals and altercations with assaults that left her fearing for her life. She repeatedly suffered multiple fractures last year. She even recorded one of the arguments on tape, which she then handed over to Daily Mail reporters. Willison was seen screaming in terror as Jeremy apparently beat her.

The day before the attack, Willison said, the man emailed her a chilling 12-minute rap song he had written for her in which he announced he “wanted to kill her.”

The couple separated in 2014 after less than two years of marriage. Willison then claimed that Jackson tried to strangle her in a drunken brawl. The bubbly actor even served time in prison in 2017 after taking a plea deal for stabbing a woman in Los Angeles in 2015.

After divorcing her husband, Loni disappeared from the public field and then they started seeing her on the street. In 2016, the model had a mental breakdown – she began to believe that someone was sending electric currents into her body. Because of this, Willison avoided hiding places. To escape from panic attacks, as she herself admitted, only drugs helped her.

Caring people repeatedly offered Loni to contact social services for help, but she refused. The former model assures that while she’s not necessarily happy with this lifestyle, “there’s good and bad about it” and that she’ll “be fine.”
