Baywatch star Nicole Eggert reacts to Jeremy Jackson’s revolting revelation about ‘sniffing’ his female co-stars’ ‘dirty swimsuits’

Baywatch star Nicole Eggert has responded to Jeremy Jackson’s shocking confession about his disturbing act involving his female co-stars’ swimsuits.

Surprisingly, the 53-year-old actress, who is currently battling breast cancer, praised his honesty after the now 43-year-old actor recently admitted to smelling the actresses’ dirty swimsuits as a teenager on the series.

“I’m very used to Jeremy being very honest and being himself, and he’s a grown man now,” the former Charles in Charge student said TMZ on Thursday. ‘That’s what we love about Jeremy: his honesty, his candor.’

She continued: “And the fact that he can make fun of a teenage Jeremy… it’s just the truth, and it’s hilarious. I know people are shocked by it, but I’m sure we’ve all done different things at that weird teenage age… and I just love it because I love him for his honesty.”

Nicole revealed she knew about the swimsuit sniffing incident after Jeremy confessed to it in the documentary After Baywatch: Moment in the Sun, which aired on Wednesday.

“He’s not that person anymore. If he did it as a man, it would be a different story,” she added, laughing.

She also revealed that she doesn’t want to know which swimsuit Jeremy preferred to smell while filming the series, which stars Pamela Anderson, Erika Eleniak and Carmen Electra.

In the documentary, Jackson, who played Mitch Buchannon’s (David Hasselhoff) Hobie’s son on the series from ages 10 to 19, said: “I would usually sneak in [the women’s] “They pick up the trailers after they’re done and grab their dirty bathing suits.”

He added: ‘Let’s just say I smelled every scent. [bleep] on Baywatch. And Nicole [Eggert] was the big one, that’s for sure. We had a very intimate moment, her and I, that she never knew about.’

In another segment, Jeremy recalled an on-screen interaction with his father Hasselhoff: “I remember David saying, ‘Are you smoking weed or something?’ And I was [thinking] like, “Jesus, do they think I smoke weed?” I could never tell them the truth. What would they think?’

“If you haven’t slept for five days and you’ve been smoking crystal meth, the worst thing that can happen is someone looking you in the eye and saying, ‘Man, are you okay?'”

“I was really in a downward spiral,” the actor said, adding, “My life was slipping through my hands like sand.”

He also said he is in “remission” today, in an interview with People.

Nicole (pictured 1994) continued: ‘And the fact that he can make fun of a teenage Jeremy… it’s just the truth, and it’s hilarious. I know people are shocked by it, but I’m sure we’ve all done different things at that weird teenage age… and I just love it because I love him for his honesty.’

‘[When people ask] ‘Am I in a good place,’ they mean, am I still sober. It’s a huge mistake people make with ‘good and bad,’ when drug addiction and alcoholism are a case of mental illness, not about moral strength or personal character and virtue.’

‘I am in remission from the chronic, fatal, progressive disease that once plagued me? “Yes, thank God. Yes, I am.”‘

Jackson recently made a rare red carpet appearance at the Baywatch documentary premiere in LA on Monday.

This came after he served a prison sentence in 2017 after agreeing to a plea deal for allegedly stabbing a woman in Los Angeles in 2015.

That same year, the former Baywatch star was evicted from Celebrity Big Brother in the UK for flashing her housemate Chloe Goodman’s breast.

In 2014, he split from his wife Loni Wilson after less than two years of marriage.

Loni claims that Jeremy tried to choke her during a physical fight when they were drunk.

Meanwhile, Nicole gave an update on her health during the red carpet premiere of After Baywatch.

“I’m good,” Eggert said People“I’m kind of in a gray area and I’ve finished my treatment. I’m waiting for more imaging and hopefully maybe surgery.”

As for how her daughters Dilyn, 25, and Keegan, 13, are coping with her diagnosis, the actress says they’ve taken it “really well.”

“I mean, they kept me on my toes,” she said. “My 13-year-old didn’t give me any special treatment. It was still like, ‘Mom, give me this, let’s go here, let’s do that.'”

Eggert indicated that it was her daughters who kept her “going” and her life “vibrant.”
