The photographs reveal a life upended. Once a model and fitness instructor married to a television star, Loni Willison has been pictured searching Los Angeles bins for essentials, her belongings piled into a cart.

Willison married “Baywatch” actor Jeremy Jackson in 2012; their marriage ended in 2014 after she accused him of strangling her. In the years that followed, she lost her jobs and her rent-controlled apartment. Reports describe struggles with mental health and substance use, and by 2018 she was living on the streets. Photographs taken in Los Angeles, including Venice Beach and Santa Monica, show her carrying clothes and blankets while looking for food and other necessities.

Speaking to The Sun, Willison said she had not been in contact with her former husband and did not want assistance. An acquaintance and a rehabilitation specialist reportedly offered help, but she continued living outdoors. She has said she finds enough food near stores and in discarded rubbish, while also describing frequent thefts of her belongings. Her account captures a painful contrast: insisting she has what she needs while acknowledging how difficult daily survival remains.
