Ex-wife of Baywatch star Jeremy Jackson, Loni Willison, has been spotted rummaging through a Los Angeles dumpster for food.
Just eight years ago the 39-year old was working as an actress and fitness model and was a regular on red carpets alongside her actor husband, three years her senior.
But in the wake of her split from Jackson in 2014 after just two years of marriage, she rapidly spiralled into life as a homeless drug addict.

At the height of her fame, she was best known for her role as Kira Mickaels in the thriller TV series, Expose.

Things began to turn sour, however, after Jackson was accused of trying to strangle her in the midst of a drunken fracas between the pair.
After going their separate ways, Willison soon began to suffer with her mental health and reportedly began taking crystal meth.
And according to another of Jackson’s former partners, Cindy Kovacs, the actor refused to help his ex wife after they split.
She told The Sun: “It’s really sad what happened to Loni and she never got the help she needs.”

In 2016, meanwhile, it was reported Willison had suffered a breakdown and lost her job as an assistant at an LA cosmetic surgery centre.
After a brief stint in the real estate sector, she was evicted from her apartment after struggling to pay bills, claiming her employer had refused to pay her.
She then went missing two years later and after eventually being tracked down in 2020 she appeared to be relatively content, despite her tragic circumstances.

At the time she told the Sun: “I haven’t spoken to Jeremy. I don’t want to speak to my friends, I’m doing just fine. I don’t want anyone to help me.”
Willison continued: “I haven’t got a cell phone. I’ve got food and I’ve got a place to sleep. I get money here and there and there’s food in the bins and near the stores. There’s lots here.”
Since then she has spent recent times at various California homeless encampments, and was recently seen looking worse-for-wear pushing her trolley through the tough back streets of Santa Monica.

Following their divorce, Jackson, meanwhile, remained in the limelight and featured on Celebrity Big Brother in 2015.
However, he was thrown out of the TV compound for pulling open fellow contestant Chloe Goodman’s dressing gown.
The Ex On The Beach star said at the time: “He went to my dressing gown top and put my boob out.”
