She Was A Model, She Was Homeless: How Marriage To A Handsome Baywatch Man Ruined Loni Willison’s Life

In the early 2010s, Loni Willison shone at secular parties. She was a fairly successful fitness model – a spectacularly slim and fit blonde invariably found herself in the spotlight and attracted attention.

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

When reporters attempted to speak to the model and find out what had ruined her life, she assured her ex-husband, Baywatch star Jeremy Jackson (he played Hobie Buchannon), was to blame.

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

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

The model said that their marriage was filled with drunken scandals and assault quarrels, because of which she feared for her life. On several occasions, Loni suffered multiple fractures. She even recorded one of the feuds on tape, which she then handed over to reporters at the Daily Mail. It showed Willison screaming in terror as Jeremy seemingly beat her.

The day before the attack, according to Willison, the man emailed her a chilling 12-minute rap song he wrote for her in which he announced he “wants to kill her.”

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

After her divorce from her husband, Loni disappeared from the public domain, and then they began to see her on the streets. In 2016, the model had a nervous breakdown – she began to believe that someone was sending electric currents through her body. For this reason, Willison avoided shelters. By her own admission, only the drugs helped her escape the panic attacks.

Caring people repeatedly offered Loni to contact social services for help, but she rejected it. The ex-model assures that, even if she is not necessarily satisfied with this way of life, there are “good and bad sides” and that she “will be fine”.
