Homeless ex-model Loni Willison hauls shopping cart and dumpster dives for food in LA
Five years after she was first discovered homeless, former fitness model Loni Willison was spotted on Wednesday dragging a shopping cart containing all of her belongings through the streets of Los Angeles.
The life of the 40-year-old California resident has changed dramatically since she modeled for magazines such as Glam Fit, Flavor Magazine and Iron Man Magazine.
Loni – dressed in a tie-dye T-shirt, jeans and flip flops – appeared to have successfully retrieved a clementine from a dumpster.
Willison has been offered shelter by the City of Los Angeles but has repeatedly refused, telling X17online on May 12, “There is nothing anyone can offer me. There’s no help.’
The ex-adult movie star admitted she was “in a lot of pain” but “can’t live anywhere inside” due to her severe electrophobia (fear of electricity), which she says was caused by someone “electrocuting” her every day for nearly a year .

“I can touch the outside of a building, but I can’t go in,” Loni said.
‘I think because [I pick] I also pick up on other things, like certain chemicals or batteries, or fuses, like wires, different kinds of metals. So I think my body actually filters that stuff out.
“I’m not exactly sure, I’d have to go through a big x-ray, ultrasound or something to see that.” But it was pretty intense.’
When asked about her mangled fingers, Willison shrugged, “Someone broke them. It will be fine.’
The former blonde bombshell continues to blame her current circumstances on her ex-husband – Baywatch star Jeremy Jackson – whom she divorced in 2014 after two years of marriage amid allegations of domestic violence.
Loni — who was photographed smoking crystal meth on May 20 — claimed, “At least I’m divorced. He did everything he could to do this to me.’
The 42-year-old former child star certainly battled his own demons, but is now a sober/fitness coach and transformative breathwork practitioner.
Jeremy – who revealed his steroid addiction in 2011 on Celebrity Rehab with Dr. Drew tackled – showed off his muscular 5ft9in form via the @dirtycali Instagram account on Tuesday.

Didn’t press charges: In 2014, the former blonde bombshell called the LAPD on Jackson after his alleged domestic abuse left her with two broken ribs, an injured neck, and scratches on her face/body
In 2014, Willison called the LAPD on Jackson after his alleged domestic abuse caused her to sustain two broken ribs, an injured neck, and scratches on her face/body.
The LAPD’s Wilshire Division confirmed to DailyMail.com in 2018 that a call had been made from the couple’s LA home in August 2014, but Loni chose not to press charges.
“I didn’t report him when he attacked me because I was scared,” Willison told DailyMail.com in 2018.
“I was in a bad place emotionally and I didn’t want Jeremy to go to jail.”
Last year, the former teen idol successfully completed his five-year probation for allegedly stabbing a woman in LA in 2015, for which he served 270 days in prison in 2017.
Jeremy hasn’t had a single on-screen appearance since being kicked off Celebrity Big Brother in 2015 for allegedly exposing fellow contestant Chloe Goodman’s breasts by opening her robe.
