Fitness model who got homeless after becoming an addict Loni Willison is blaming her ex-husband, “Baywatch” actor Jeremy Jackson, for her mental health deterioration.
In an interview that X17 Online published on Friday, the 39-year-old Willison—who has been spotted looking through dumpsters in California throughout the years—was asked where her life went wrong.
“My former spouse. Getting hitched. I got divorced, at least,” she answered.”He arranged for this to happen to me.”
After less than two years of marriage, the couple suffered a painful breakup in 2014.
During an apparent drunken altercation, Jackson allegedly attempted to choke Willison. The Post reached out to Jackson for an answer.
Willison formerly modeled for magazines like Flavour, Iron Man, and Glam Fit. She disappeared from the public view for over four years, until 2018.
Instead of her beautifully bronzed physique and gorgeous blonde hair, Willison had become disheveled, had short hair, and had lost her top teeth when she resurfaced.
During the interview on Friday, Willison said that her stomach hurts “really bad” and that she is “in a lot of pain.”
She said that she “can’t live inside anywhere” and that she is no longer allowed to be near power because she was “electrocuted” every day for about a year.
I believe that in addition to sensing electricity, I also detect other substances such as wire, various metals, fuses, batteries, and specific compounds. Therefore, I believe that my body even filters that kind of stuff,” she said.
I wouldn’t know for sure; I’d need to use a sonogram machine or a large X-ray machine to find out. It’s fairly intense.
When asked whether she had asked the city of Los Angeles for help, Willison replied, “There’s nothing that anybody can offer me.” There is nothing we can do to help.
She claimed to have received offers of help but never made a request for it.
She acknowledged that she’s “not necessarily” satisfied with her life’s course, saying, “There are good parts and there are bad parts, but whatever.”
The interviewer also noticed that she had serious injuries on her fingers. When he suggested that she have them checked out, Willison comforted him, saying, “I’ll be fine.”
In a 2018 interview, Willison discussed her energy issues with the Daily Mail. She said at the time that she was “getting tortured in my home, my apartment” due to her crystal meth addiction.
The 42-year-old Jackson has been open about his own battles with alcohol, drug, and steroid addiction.
In order to serve time in prison for allegedly stabbing a woman in Los Angeles in 2015, Jackson accepted into a plea deal in 2017.
He was also kicked off “Celebrity Big Brother” in 2015 after it was alleged that he had stolen model Chloe Goodman’s robe.
I Opened My Mother-in-Law’s Christmas Gift & My Husband Kicked Her Out Because of It
Hosting Christmas for my in-laws was supposed to be a joyous affair, but the evening took a shocking turn when my mother-in-law gifted me something that left the entire room speechless. What started as festive cheer quickly spiraled into an unforgettable family showdown.
Christmas is supposed to be magical, right? A season of love, family, and giving. Well, this year, it turned into a drama-filled spectacle, starring none other than my mother-in-law, Judith. But before I get to the moment she completely blindsided me, let me give you some context about our… complicated relationship.

I met my husband, Trent, three years ago, and we hit it off instantly. By then, he’d already been divorced from Rose, his ex-wife, for two years. Rose and I couldn’t be more different — she’s the elegant, always-poised type, and I’m more of the “let’s wear fuzzy socks to dinner” kind of girl. Trent said he loved that about me. I thought Judith, his mom, did too. At least, at first.
When I met Judith, she was warm and polite. I even thought we could be close someday.

But as time passed, cracks began to show. Subtle, at first, things like “accidentally” calling me Rose.
“Oh, I’m sorry, Elle, I meant you! It’s just… you remind me so much of her,” she’d say with an apologetic smile that never quite reached her eyes.
“It’s okay,” I’d reply awkwardly, not sure how to take it.
Then the comments escalated.
“She always kept her house spotless,” Judith mentioned once during a visit, her gaze sweeping over my lived-in living room. “Rose used to say, ‘A tidy house is a tidy mind.’ You might want to try it—helps with stress.”

I bit my tongue, smiling stiffly. What could I even say? Judith’s tone was sweet, but the words stung. I told myself she just needed time to adjust. After all, I wasn’t the first daughter-in-law she’d had.
But her digs weren’t always so subtle. At one family dinner, she casually brought up a photo album of Trent and Rose’s wedding.
“I found this the other day,” she said, sliding it across the table. “Wasn’t she stunning? It’s no wonder the whole town thought they were the perfect couple.”

“Mom,” Trent said sharply, his jaw tightening. “Why are you showing us this?”
Judith blinked innocently. “Oh, I just thought Elle would enjoy seeing it. She could get some inspiration for family photos.”
I didn’t even get the chance to respond. Trent grabbed the album and shut it. I thought that would be the end of it, but it wasn’t. Judith’s comparisons kept coming, like a slow drip meant to wear me down.
One night, after a particularly exhausting day, I brought it up to Trent.
“Does she… hate me?” I blurted, not meeting his eyes.
He frowned. “Who?”

“Your mom. I mean, she’s so sweet in front of everyone, but behind closed doors…” I hesitated, trying to find the right words. “She’s different. She talks about Rose constantly—like I’m some second-place replacement.”
Trent sighed. “Elle, she hated Rose. Trust me, she’s told me that for years.”
I shook my head. “Then why does she keep comparing us? Why bring her up at all?”
“I don’t know,” he said softly, rubbing his temple. “But I’ll talk to her.”
He tried, but Judith brushed it off. “I’m just teasing,” she’d told him with a laugh. “Elle’s so sensitive. She’ll toughen up.”

Fast-forward to Christmas Eve. I’d gone all out, decorating the house, cooking, and hosting the entire family. I wanted everything to be perfect. For a while, it was. There were carols, laughter, and the warmth of togetherness.
And then came the gifts.
Judith handed me hers with a wide smile. “This is for you, Elle,” she said. “I think you’ll find it… meaningful.”
“Thank you,” I replied, smiling cautiously as I unwrapped the box.

The room fell silent as I pulled out the gift, a pair of stunning earrings. Gasps echoed around as my non-existent moment of joy turned into absolute shock. My cheeks burned as I stared at it, unable to process what I was holding.
Judith’s grin widened like she had just pulled off the prank of the century. My mouth went dry as I realized the earrings were Rose’s. I’d seen them in that photo before — Rose beaming beside Trent and Judith, all of them looking so picture-perfect. This wasn’t just a careless mistake. It was deliberate.

Judith clasped her hands together. “Do you like them, Elle? They’re very… sentimental.”
I stared at her, my words caught somewhere between fury and disbelief. “These—these were Rose’s, weren’t they?”
Her face didn’t flinch. “Oh, were they? I hadn’t noticed. I thought they’d suit you better. She didn’t really appreciate them, you know.” She turned to the rest of the family with a sugary smile, like this was all perfectly normal.

The gasps from the room morphed into uncomfortable murmurs. Trent’s jaw tightened, and he shot me a look of silent outrage. His voice cut through the noise like steel. “Mom, what is wrong with you?”
Judith’s grin faltered slightly. “Oh, come on. It’s just a pair of earrings! I thought Elle would appreciate something elegant for once.”
I stood up, my legs feeling wobbly. “Elegant?” My voice came out sharper than I intended. “This isn’t a thoughtful gift. It’s… it’s cruel. You’ve spent years comparing me to Rose, and now this?”

Judith leaned back in her chair with an air of mock innocence. “Cruel? Elle, don’t be so dramatic. It’s Christmas. Let’s not ruin the mood.”
“No, you ruined the mood,” Trent snapped, his voice rising. “Mom, you’ve crossed the line too many times, and I’m done pretending this is okay.”
Judith’s face darkened. “Excuse me? I’m your mother.”
“And I’m his wife,” I interrupted, my voice steady now. “And you’ve disrespected me for the last time.”
Trent didn’t hesitate. “Mom, I think you should leave.”

The room collectively held its breath. Judith’s face turned a deep shade of red, and for a moment, she looked genuinely stunned. Then, she laughed bitterly, shaking her head. “Leave? You’re kicking me out? On Christmas?”
“Yes,” Trent said firmly. “Because your behavior is unacceptable.”
Her voice rose in a panicked crescendo. “Unacceptable? After everything I’ve done for you? For this family?”
I stepped forward, still clutching the earrings. “Wait.” Everyone turned to me. “I’ll be right back.”

I rushed upstairs, my heart pounding in my chest. I rifled through an old drawer until I found the photo: Judith, Trent, and Rose, all smiles. The very picture that had haunted me for months. Wrapping it hastily in leftover paper, I returned to the living room.
“Here,” I said, handing the awkwardly wrapped gift to Judith. “Merry Christmas.”
She frowned but tore off the paper. When the picture emerged, her face twisted with confusion before morphing into something more vulnerable — embarrassment, maybe even shame.
“What is this supposed to mean?” she asked, her voice trembling.

“It’s a picture of you, Trent, and Rose,” I explained, keeping my tone calm despite the storm inside me. “You’ve spent years reminding me I’m not her. I thought you’d appreciate a keepsake of the person you clearly wish was still here.”
The silence was suffocating. Judith stared at the picture, her hands shaking. For the first time, she looked small, cornered.
Trent stepped closer, his voice low but firm. “Mom, you need to leave. Now.”

Judith’s tantrum came swiftly. She slammed the picture onto the table. “You’re both so ungrateful! I’ve only ever tried to help you. And this is how you repay me? Kicking me out of my own son’s house?”
“Mother,” Trent said, his patience hanging by a thread, “this is my house, and you’ve overstayed your welcome. Please leave.”
She grabbed her coat in a huff, muttering under her breath as she stormed out. “I hope you both enjoy your little perfect life. Don’t come crying to me when it all falls apart.”

The door slammed behind her, and the room was eerily quiet.
Later that night, Trent and I sat by the fireplace, the glow of the flames casting shadows across the room. I was still clutching the earrings, unable to decide what to do with them.
“I’m sorry, Elle,” Trent said softly. “I should’ve stood up to her sooner.”
I shook my head. “It’s not your fault. She just… she couldn’t let go of the past. And maybe she didn’t know how to move forward.”

He took my hand. “Yeah, maybe. Anyway, let’s just forget about everything and not ruin our mood. Are you in the mood for some holiday cheer?”
“Of course,” I whispered.
Over the next year, something surprising happened. Judith reached out — not with snide remarks or manipulative apologies, but with genuine remorse. It started with a simple message.
“Elle,” it read, “I realize I’ve hurt you deeply, and I’m ashamed. I don’t expect forgiveness, but I want to try to earn your trust.”

It wasn’t easy at first. Trust is a fragile thing, especially when it’s been shattered. But Judith kept showing up: calling to check in, inviting me to lunch, even asking for my advice on little things. Slowly, my walls came down.
By the time Christmas rolled around again, I felt a tentative warmth toward her. When she handed me a small box during our holiday gathering, I braced myself. But inside was a knitted muffler, hat, and gloves — all in my favorite colors.

“I made these for you,” she said quietly. “I wanted to give you something from the heart this year.”
Tears stung my eyes as I pulled out the soft wool. “Thank you,” I whispered. “They’re perfect.”
This time, the warmth of Christmas wasn’t marred by tension or rivalry. It was just… peaceful. Judith and I weren’t perfect, but we were trying. And that, I realized, was the best gift of all.
