Loni, 40, smoked a cigarette while pushing a cart full of her clothes and other belongings.
She wore white baggy jeans, a blue sweater, a denim jacket, and a huge gray coat over the top, as well as a gray baseball cap.
The former model looked worlds away from her glam blonde bombshell days with her short hair tucked under the cap.
She headed into a side street while seeking shelter from the rain.
The ex-fitness star lugged a huge white couch cushion in one hand and a large stained blanket in the other.
Loni was an assistant at a cosmetic surgery center in Los Angeles and reportedly had a mental breakdown in 2016.
She lost her job, apartment, and car due to the crisis and was forced to live on the streets.
Loni began using drugs and battled an addiction to meth and alcohol.

Loni was a model at the time, who graced the cover of fitness magazines in skimpy sportswear and swimsuits.
The two wed in 2012 and split in 2014 after Jeremy’s alleged attack on her at their West Hollywood home.
She later claimed he strangled and beat her, leaving her with two broken ribs, an injured neck, and scratches on her face and body.
They split after the alleged attack but she decided not to press charges.
I get robbed all the time. People take my stuff. I basically make myself as dirty as possible so that no one attacks me.

She made the claims only after her ex entered the Celebrity Big Brother house a year later, in 2015.
“It took me over two months to recover properly,” Loni recalled.
“I ended up having to quit my job as an assistant to a plastic surgeon and I couldn't work out or take on any modelling jobs."
She added that she didn't go out with her friends and was in a "very bad place."
In 2018, Loni revealed she has been attacked while sleeping rough.

“I get robbed all the time. People take my stuff. I basically make myself as dirty as possible so that no one attacks me," she told the .
“The dirtier I am the better. Smelly, too. If I do those two things, that seems to work.
“I cut off my hair, too, to look different. I cut it myself. But I have been attacked, that's bound to happen, too.”
After Loni was first seen sleeping under a shopping cart, Loni’s model friend Kristin Rossetti tracked her down and put her in a hotel for the night with fresh clothes and a hot meal.
However, she turned down her pal's offer to pay for rehab and disappeared for two years.
Loni resurfaced in October 2020, digging through bins near Venice Beach for clothing and food.
“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," she told The U.S Sun at the time.

"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."
She was seen with an apparently bruised eye in tragic photos last year.
