This former model was spotted rummaging through garbage

Loni Willson, the ex-wife of Baywatch actor Jeremy Jackson, was spotted searching through rubbish while still struggling with life on the streets.

RadarOnline.com can disclose additional photographs of the tragic scene, which saw 41-year-old Willson, a former model who has struggled with drug addiction, picking up a discarded Christmas tree from the garbage and placing it in her cart full of blankets and supplies on New Year’s Day.

The new arrest occurred just weeks after Willson’s ex-husband revealed her tragic descent, which started in 2016 when she experienced a severe breakdown due to a crystal meth addiction. The most recent photos showed a homeless Willson donning a floor-length flowery gown, cheetah-print boots, and a black cap atop her reportedly shaven head.

Searching through garbage cans and picking up abandoned objects, the former actress left her hands smeared with muck and grime. She then picked up a discarded Christmas tree and placed it in the top basket of her shopping cart before pushing the crowded carriage around.

Willson was also spotted carrying a huge aerosol can in one hand, nearly three months after being busted inhaling paint from a brown paper bag.

In October, she was spotted lying on a sidewalk in Los Angeles, spraying Rust-Oleum paint primer from an aerosol can into a bag.

The once-glamorous model, who now lives on the streets of Venice Beach, gained national notice in 2018 when photographs of her sifting through garbage cans surfaced, shocking everyone, including her ex-husband. Willson’s problems worsened when she divorced from Jackson in 2014, citing an alleged violent relationship.

In late October, the Baywatch actor publicly announced the death of his ex-wife, asserting that she is now “gone.” Jackson, 44, has not seen his ex in four years following a fierce disagreement that resulted in a 911 call, essentially ending their two-year marriage.

He compared the agony of losing Willison to the loss of someone dear to him, detailing his unsuccessful attempts to assist her through her difficulties with mental illness and addiction.

The leading guy said, “The woman I was in love with is gone, and whoever she is mentally now is not who I knew.”

During their final year together, Jackson claimed Willison’s mental health deteriorated, resulting in paranoia, anxiety attacks, and hallucinations that caused her to feel Jackson was her adversary.

Despite Jackson’s efforts to assist and advise her, he said her condition deteriorated, putting more strain on their relationship. Aside from dealing with his personal difficulties, Jackson stated that he spent major resources on helping Willison rehabilitate, such as attending therapy sessions, taking medicine, and seeking spiritual assistance. However, his efforts proved futile as Willison’s behavior continued to spiral out of control.

A few years later, people spotted the former model barefoot while rummaging through dumpsters in Los Angeles, and current reports indicate that she is still homeless.

Jackson continued: “I lost the love of my life. I lost the one lady I’d ever proposed to and wanted to marry. I’m 44 years old. I haven’t proposed or wished to marry anybody else.

“She was my choice, the only choice I ever made, and I lost it.”

While Jackson said he could lead her away from drugs and pornography while they were together, he was unprepared to deal with her deteriorating mental health.

He stated that she was hearing things. She saw things and accused me of being absolutely irrational. She would experience severe breakdowns and panic attacks. She would come home from work, crying, terrified that she might stab someone at the doctor’s office.

In previous interviews, Willson discussed her own challenges over the years, such as mental breakdowns and the feeling that someone was transmitting electrical currents into her body.

She claimed she “couldn’t live inside anywhere” due to her daily electrocution, which has left her unable to be near electricity for over a year.

Willson went on to say, “I believe that since I pick up on electricity, I also pick up on other things, such as specific chemicals, batteries, or fuses, as well as wire and various metals. So I believe my body also filters that type of material.”

Before living on the streets, she had a successful modeling career, appearing in publications such as Glam Fit, Flavour, and Iron Man.
