Loni Willison’s net worth

Willison was a successful model and actress. Unverified reports said her net worth was $1.6 million during the height of her fame.

However, Willison is currently homeless, although she told the Daily Mail that she gets “money here and there and there’s food in the bins and near the stores”.

Loni Willison family

Although information about Willison’s parents and siblings is scarce, she reportedly revealed that she came from a loving home. While she is famous in her own right, Willison is best known for her much-publicised relationship with former child actor and Baywatch star, Jeremy Jackson. The couple dated for several years and tied the knot in a private ceremony in 2012.

However, their “made-in-paradise” marriage ended in 2014 due to reported cases of drug abuse and domestic violence.

The New York Post reported that the marriage ended after Jackson allegedly attempted to strangle Willison in a drunken fight. Willison was reportedly injured, with two broken ribs, an injured neck and scratches on her face and body. But she refused to press charges.

“I didn’t report him when he attacked me because I was scared,” she told The Sun. “I was in a bad place emotionally and I didn’t want Jeremy to go to jail.

“At least now everyone can see what I had to put up with.”

The couple split after the fight and shortly after, Jackson appeared in Celebrity Big Brother in 2015. Willison also added that it took her over two months to “recover properly”.

What happened to Loni Willison?

Stories of women leaving toxic marriages often have happy endings. But that is not the case for Willison, whose divorce from Jackson turned out to be the beginning of her woes. Shortly after her divorce, Willison lost her job as an assistant at a cosmetic surgery centre in Los Angeles. Her stint in real estate also came to a brief and unsuccessful end. The California native said she was in a “very bad place” after the messy separation from Jackson. Hence, she disappeared from public life.

In 2016, Willison reappeared again on the streets of Los Angeles. A shadow of her former glorious self, she was pictured looking gaunt and pushing a cart containing her remaining possessions while she rummaged through the bins for food and clothing.

“I couldn’t work out or take on any modelling jobs,” she told The Sun.

She also insisted that she had enough money to get by as she lived in the affluent area of Venice but lost it all to Crystal Meth. Having lost her job at the cosmetic surgeon centre, she suffered a mental breakdown. She even claimed that she had been electrocuted at her apartment and said she believed her body was so full of electrical charge she was a danger to others.

“I was getting tortured in my home, my apartment,” Loni told the Daily Mail in 2018. “I was living by myself but I was getting electrocuted.

“It was really bad, really horrible. I later found a red mark on the back of my neck and I think that was how the electricity was getting into my head.”

She had tried to talk to friends but was unsuccessful. Willison believed that the “charge” she experienced could bring down the buildings she slept in and the only way she could stop it was to take drugs. So she became broke and homeless.

Willison revealed that living on the streets was “survival of the fittest”, noting that she had not showered in over a year to avoid being abused.

She said: “I get robbed all the time. People take my stuff.

“I basically make myself as dirty as possible so that no one attacks me. The dirtier I am the better. Smelly, too. If I do those two things, that seems to work.

“I cut off my hair, too, to look different. I cut it myself. But I have been attacked, that’s bound to happen, too.” Her friends such as Kristin Rossetti and drug rehab specialist, Larry Marinelli, offered to help her but she refused and disappeared again until 2020. The once well-known fitness freak reportedly said she did not want any help from anybody and that she was doing fine by herself.

Conclusion

Loni Willison is still a homeless person on the streets of Los Angeles, as of the time of filing this piece. Her once stunning beauty has been ravaged by drug addiction and she has even lost some teeth. Willison also revealed that she has no phone number and she does not want to speak with her friends.

But when there is life, there is hope. There is hope for Willison – if only she will accept the offer of those willing to help her bounce back.
