Baywatch star Jeremy Jackson’s ex-wife Loni Willison smokes on the street with a bruised eye while homeless in LA

LONI Willison has been spotted on the streets after years without a home.

Loni, 40, was captured as she walked past a row of parked cars in an affluent neighborhood.

The California-born ex-fitness fanatic walked down the middle of the road, with a cigarette in her mouth.

In contrast to photos from before her homelessness, Loni had her blond hair cropped short, hidden beneath a backwards cap.

She frowned under the glare of the sun, and appeared to have a red, swollen eye.

Loni wore multiple thin, sleeveless layers, with two jackets around her waist.

She also sported plenty of necklaces and bangles, along with fingerless gloves and white sneakers.

Loni pulled a behind her, despite the high summer heat.

Warm bedding and extra clothing filled the cart up to the brim, but Lori pulled in along with just one hand.

In 2020, Loni assured The U.S. Sun that she was okay alone, stating: "I can live on my own. I've got everything I need right here.

"Nobody really cares about me and I don’t want to see them, they don’t want to see me."

LONI'S PAST

Loni was an assistant at a Los Angeles cosmetic surgery center and reportedly had a mental breakdown in 2016.

Due to the crisis she lost her job, apartment and car, and was forced to live on the streets.

Loni began using drugs, and has since battled an addiction to meth and alcohol. 

She disappeared in October 2018 after a failed attempt by friends to get her into rehab, but was found again two years later.

TRAGIC ENDINGS

Prior to her homelessness, Loni married actor Jeremy Jackson in 2012.

Jeremy played Hobie Buchanan in Baywatch from 1991 to 1999 alongside his screen dad David Hasselhoff and stars including Pamela Anderson, Donna D’Errico and Yasmine Bleeth.

The two split in 2014 following Jeremy’s alleged attack on Loni at their West Hollywood home.

After he left Baywatch, Jeremy had drug problems of his own, saying: “I smoked pot every day, and I did cocaine until it stopped working.”

Speaking to The U.S. Sun back in 2020, Loni said: “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.”

Loni reportedly developed substance abuse issues after her mental crisis, but on being found claimed that she was fine 'on her own'
