Does not wash so as not to be raped: the model, who became a homeless woman, refused help and returned to the streets
Earlier we wrote about the former fitness model Loni Willison, who became a homeless woman on the streets of Los Angeles. She gave an interview this week. Her friend found the girl sleeping under a supermarket cart on a pile of all sorts of rags. The woman could not hold back tears when she saw what had become of her good friend. Despite the offered help, Loni returned to the street, stating that now, at least, "no one will touch her."
Recall that last week we wrote about the ex-wife of the star of "Rescuers of Malibu" Jeremy Jackson. The girl turned into a real homeless woman.
A reporter caught her picking up trash on the streets of Los Angeles. After the photos became popular, the Western press turned to Loni's friends. A friend of the former model Christina Rossetti responded.
Loni Willison claims that dirt helps her avoid being molested on the streets.
Together with the journalists, she went in search of Loni. She was sleeping under a supermarket cart in an alley off Melrose Avenue.
Loni agreed to tell her story about how she turned from a "cover girl" into a real homeless woman.
She looked pitiful. Feet, hands, nails, clothes – everything was covered in dirt.
The girl noted that she has been begging on the streets for more than two years. She periodically tried to escape from such a life, but she failed. Loni resigned herself.
Then, in 2016, she was evicted from her home because she lost her job and was in a deplorable financial situation. In addition, she was going through a severe emotional shock, could not communicate with anyone, started drinking, and then using drugs.

At first she tried to find herself in cosmetology, but she was fired. Then she worked for a realtor, who eventually refused to pay Loni her part of the income.

Eventually, she ended up on the street with a suitcase. I didn't know where I could go and just stayed among other homeless people.

She remembers her life with Jeremy Jackson with a shudder. Now the woman claims that she experienced severe torture, including electricity.

Loni notes that she hasn't showered in over a year. She is regularly robbed, and dirt and a bad smell drive away potential rapists.
Journalists who attended Loni's interview with her friend noted that Jackson's ex-wife, apparently, suffers from drug addiction.
The girl notes that taking drugs was her conscious choice. As for her ex-husband, the ex-model claims that she has not seen him.
Loni admits that dirt and disgusting appearance are her protection from potential violence. She tries not to contact anyone and deliberately avoids familiar faces.
Kristina Rossetti took Loni to the hotel. She took a shower, had lunch, even spent the night in a warm bed.
In the morning she ran out into the street.
A close friend of Christina Rossetti named Larry Marrinelli, who owns a social assistance fund, offered Loni 90 thousand if she agreed to start a course of treatment for drug addiction.
The girl refused. The friend notes that she does not recognize Loni. Drugs and life on the street left a deep imprint on her personality. But they, along with Larry, intend to continue the search for the fugitive.
Meanwhile, Jeremy Jackson, who has already been released from prison for past crimes and works as a fitness trainer, carefully avoids any questions about what happened to his ex-wife.
Can a person return to normal life after such a tragedy?
