We all know that the fall from superstardom to rock bottom can happen quickly, especially if you’re in Hollywood. In the entertainment industry, things move very fast and when the facade cracks, it can be hard to pick up the pieces.
Sadly, the former bombshell blonde is now homeless and struggles with significant personal issues. Recent images of her have shocked many – but according to herself, she doesn’t want any help.
”I’m doing just fine. I don’t want anyone to help me,” she told The Sun.

I think most of us remember Hobie from Baywatch. He was the one who played David Hasselhoff’s mischievous yet lovable on-screen son. But few may be aware of his tumultuous life after the series ended and his turbulent marriage to Loni Willison.
Loni Willison is a former glamorous swimsuit model, and around ten years ago, she was often seen on red carpets with her TV hunk husband, Jeremy Jackson. Loni lived a glamorous life, appeared on many covers, and had the world at her feet.
But her and Jackson’s breakup almost a decade ago set her on a spiraling downward path. She disappeared for a period of two years before she was eventually discovered living on the streets.
According to the New York Post, Willison, 39, has been living in homeless encampments around California for almost seven years and is most commonly seen towing around a shopping cart filled with her possessions.

Willison also revealed she was in a “very bad place” following the divorce. She started living rough after losing her job as a plastic surgeon’s assistant.
“I couldn’t work out or take on any modeling jobs,” she said.
Recently, Loni revealed that she has no contact with her ex-husband and that she doesn’t want any help from her friends.
As per the New York Post, Larry Marinelli, a drug rehab specialist who owns a sober living home, offered Willison help at no cost, but the 39-year-old turned down the treatment and returned to the streets less than 24 hours later.
“I haven’t got a cell phone. I’ve got food and I’ve got a place to sleep,” she said. “I get money here and there and there’s food in the bins and near the stores. There’s lots here.”
My heartfelt wish is for Loni to receive the necessary assistance to regain stability in her life. Witnessing someone experience such a downfall is undeniably heart-wrenching.
