Alert to Malibu Loni Willson, the ex-wife of star Jeremy Jackson, was caught rummaging through trash as she continued to struggle with life on the streets.
RadarOnline.com can reveal new photos of the devastating vision, which showed Willson, 41 – a former model who suffered from drug addiction – picking up an abandoned Christmas tree from the trash and placing it in her cart filled with blankets and supplies on New Year’s Day.
The latest capture comes just weeks after Willson’s ex-husband opened up about her horrific downfall, which began in 2016 when Willson faced massive depression due to a crystal meth addiction.
In the most recent snaps, homeless Willson was seen wearing a floor-length floral dress, cheetah print ankle boots and a black hat on her seemingly shaven head.
The former actress was spotted rummaging through trash cans and picking up discarded items, which left her hands looking like they were stained with dirt and grime.
She then picked up a destroyed Christmas tree and placed it in the top rack of her shopping cart before continuing to push the crowded car.
At one point, Willson was also seen carrying a large spray can in one hand – which comes almost three months after she was caught sniffing paint from a brown paper bag.
In October, she was photographed while relaxing on a sidewalk in Los Angeles, where she sprayed Rust-Oleum paint primer from a spray can and into the bag.
The once-glamorous model, who now lives on the streets of Venice Beach, gained public attention after photos of her rummaging through trash were published in 2018 – leaving everyone, including her ex-husband, in disbelief .
Willson’s struggles intensified after she split from Jackson in 2014, following an alleged abusive relationship.
At the end of October, the Alert to Malibu The star opened up about his ex-wife’s fall from grace, saying she is now “gone”.
Jackson, 44, hadn’t seen his ex in four years following a heated argument that resulted in a 911 call, which effectively marked the end of their two-year marriage.
He described the pain of losing Willison as akin to the death of a loved one, recounting his futile attempts to help her overcome her struggles with mental illness and drug addiction.
The actor said: “The woman I was in love with is gone, and whoever she is mentally now, it’s not the woman I knew. »
During their last year together, Jackson said Willison’s mental health deteriorated, manifesting in paranoia, anxiety attacks and hallucinations that led her to believe Jackson was her enemy.
Despite Jackson’s efforts to support and guide her, he claimed her condition worsened, further straining their relationship.
In addition to battling his own demons, Jackson said he devoted significant resources to helping Willison recover, including attending therapy sessions, taking medication and seeking spiritual support.
However, his efforts proved futile as Willison’s behavior became increasingly erratic.
She was spotted barefoot while rummaging through trash in Los Angeles a few years later, with recent reports confirming the former model is still homeless.
Jackson added: “I lost the love of my life. I lost the only woman I ever proposed to, the only woman I ever wanted to marry. I am 44 years old. I still haven’t proposed or wanted to marry anyone else.
“She was my choice, the only choice I ever made, and I lost it.”
Although Jackson said he was able to help her stay away from drugs and pornography while they were together, he was not equipped to deal with her deteriorating mental health.
He said: “She was hearing things. She saw things and accused me of completely crazy things. She would have massive depressions, panic attacks.
“She would come home from work crying, afraid she would stab someone at the doctor.”
In previous interviews, Willson has spoken about the personal struggles she has faced over the years, including mental breakdowns and the belief that someone was sending electrical currents through her body.
She claimed that she “couldn’t live indoors anywhere” because someone had “electrocuted” her every day for almost a year, and that she could no longer be exposed to the ‘electricity.
Willson added: “I think because [I pick] I’m interested in electricity, I’m also interested in other things, like certain chemicals or batteries, or fuses, like wires, and different types of metals. So I think my body even filters out that stuff.
Before living on the streets, she had a successful modeling career – appearing in magazines such as Glamorous cut , Flavor et Iron Man .
