Former Fitness Model Loni Willison Blames Ex-Husband Jeremy Jackson for Her Struggles
Loni Willison, a former fitness model once known for her appearances in health and lifestyle magazines, has spoken out about the downward spiral that led her to homelessness and years of hardship.
In a new interview published by X17 Online on Friday, the 39-year-old was asked what led to the major turning point in her life. Her answer was direct: “My ex-husband. Getting married. At least I got divorced,” she said. “He set everything up to do this to me.”
Willison was previously married to Jeremy Jackson, best known for his role on Baywatch. Their marriage lasted less than two years and ended in 2014 amid allegations of a violent altercation. According to reports at the time, Jackson allegedly attempted to choke Willison during a dispute while intoxicated. Jackson has not publicly responded to the latest claims.
After gaining recognition in magazines like Iron Man, Glam Fit, and Flavour, Willison disappeared from the public eye for nearly four years. When she resurfaced in 2018, her appearance had drastically changed. Photographers began spotting her living on the streets of California, often searching through dumpsters.
“I Can’t Live Indoors Anymore”
In the latest interview, Willison opened up about ongoing health issues. She said she experiences severe stomach pain and has a hypersensitivity to electricity, which she believes stems from having been “electrocuted” daily over the course of nearly a year.
“I can’t live inside anywhere,” she said. “I think because I pick up on the electricity, I also pick up on other things—like chemicals, batteries, fuses, wires, and different types of metals.”
She explained that her condition may need further medical imaging to fully understand, but she believes her body reacts intensely to these environmental factors.
When asked if she had sought help from the city of Los Angeles or other organizations, Willison responded: “There’s nothing that anybody can offer me. Nothing can be done to assist.” While she acknowledged that offers of help had been made, she emphasized she’s never asked for support.
Living in Pain, But Moving Forward
Though she expressed that she’s “not necessarily” happy with how things have unfolded, she added, “There’s good parts and there’s bad parts, but whatever.”
The interviewer also noted her visibly injured fingers, but Willison brushed off concerns, saying simply, “I’ll be fine.”
In a 2018 interview with the Daily Mail, Willison revealed her past struggles with crystal meth addiction and claimed she had been “tortured” in her home.
Jeremy Jackson’s Past
Jeremy Jackson, now 42, has spoken openly about his own battles with drug, alcohol, and steroid abuse. In 2015, he was removed from Celebrity Big Brother following an incident involving model Chloe Goodman. That same year, he was arrested for allegedly stabbing a woman and later took a plea deal that included jail time.
While both Jackson and Willison have faced significant personal challenges, Willison’s public reappearance continues to spark concern—and conversations—around addiction, mental health, and homelessness in Los Angeles.
