Their marriage, which lasted two years, ended after a heated argument that resulted in a 911 call.
Jeremy described the pain of losing Loni as similar to losing someone to death. He felt helpless as he tried to support her through difficult times.
“Losing her was like the death of somebody, and I tried to bring her back and I couldn’t,” said Jackson
“The woman I was in love with is gone, and whoever she is mentally now is not who I knew,” he added.
During her marriage, Loni’s mental health deteriorated significantly.
Jeremy explained that she suffered from paranoia, anxiety attacks, and hallucinations.
These issues made her believe that he was against her, which strained their relationship.
The final year of their marriage was filled with turmoil, and Jeremy struggled with his own issues, including substance abuse.
Despite his efforts to help Loni, such as taking her to therapy and spending money on medication, he felt that nothing worked.
He recalled moments when Loni would have breakdowns and seemed lost in her own world.
‘She was hearing things. She was seeing things, and she was accusing me of things that were completely delusional.
Loni would have massive breakdowns and panic attacks.
“She would come home from work, crying, scared she was going to stab somebody at the doctor’s office.”
Jeremy did everything he could to support her, even attending church together in hopes of finding healing.
Jeremy said: “I lost the love of my life. I lost the only woman I’ve ever proposed to, the only woman I’ve ever wanted to marry.
“I’m 44-years-old. I still have not proposed or wanted to marry anyone else.
“She was my choice, the only choice I ever made, and I lost it.”
Their relationship started when Jeremy Jackson was 21 and Loni Willison was 19.
At the time, Loni was working as a porn star and a stripper.
Jeremy fell in love with her spirit and energy, wanting to help her break away from that life.
Over the years, he supported her transition into fitness modeling and helped her with her education.
He paid off her student loans and helped her with various medical expenses.
Unfortunately, Loni’s challenges did not end there.
As their relationship progressed, Jeremy realized that Loni was secretly taking control of his finances.
She had changed names on car titles and attempted to manipulate his financial situation without his knowledge.
This betrayal added to the strain between them.
After their marriage ended, Jeremy struggled with deep depression.
He spent two years in and out of rehab, grieving the loss of what he considered the love of his life.
He described those years as some of the hardest of his life, saying, “I went through the biggest depression of my life for two years after.”
Jeremy felt a mix of anger and sadness when he saw Loni’s photos living on the streets.
He had hoped she would find happiness, but it was heartbreaking to see her in such a dire situation.
‘When I saw the pictures online was the first time I realized what had happened,’ he told DailyMail.com.
‘I was sad because I pictured her out there happy, happy with the car she stole from me and the money she stole from me, living her best life.
‘Then I saw her and I said, ‘oh my God’. I had wanted her and me to have a fairytale outcome. I couldn’t allow myself to see that she was actually insane.’
Loni has repeatedly turned down offers of help from friends and family.
Jeremy indicated that if Loni ever asked for help, he would be there for her immediately.
Despite the pain of their past, Jeremy believes that everything he went through has shaped him into a better person.
He has learned from his experiences and aims to help others who face similar struggles.
He hopes that Loni will eventually find the help she needs and be able to turn her life around.
Jeremy now runs a wellness company and works as a mentor for recovering addicts, using his experiences to guide others.
‘My company InnerG Wellness has alliances with the best sober companions, the best psychiatrists, the best retreats, women’s support, battered women’s shelters, you name it,’ he said.
