Loni Willison has been spotted again going through bins in Hollywood.

The former model, 40, is thought to have been homeless since 2016 and was recently open about her addiction issues. Loni, who was previously married to Baywatch star Jeremy Jackson was seen wearing a black sleeveless top with a white sleeveless shirt over it.

She also wore black leggings, backless slip-on shoes and a burgundy baseball cap along with a number of beaded necklaces and a cross shaped earring. Loni was seen carrying a number of bags, including a blue tote bag.

She was also wheeling a shopping trolley to store her finds, which seemed to include a cardboard delivery box, as well as her belongings. In one image she was seen eating from a foil food container.

In an interview in May, Loni was very clear with where she thought her problems started before she ended up homeless.

Speaking to X17 Online, she blamed her former husband, whom she split from in 2014 following less than two years of marriage. She explained in the chat how she is currently in "a lot of pain" with her stomach hurting "really bad".

She claimed to the publication how she "can’t live inside anywhere" as she can’t be exposed to electricity. "I think because [I pick] up on the electricity, I also pick up on other things, like certain chemicals or batteries, or fuses, like wire, different types of metals. So I think my body even filters that kind of stuff," she explained.

It's thought she has been homeless since around 2018. Former model friend Kristin Rossetti had reportedly tried to intervene to help Loni off the streets in the same year, after she saw photos of the former model sleeping under a shopping trolley.

Kristin was photographed hugging Loni on the streets before taking her to a hotel for the night - but the Daily Mail reported at the time that Loni told Kristin she wanted to leave to "get high" the following morning and that she turned down offers for free drug rehabilitation services.
