“She set me up and started screaming that I was hurting her when I did nothing to her,” the 44-year-old said.
“There are no hospital records. There are no doctor bills. There are no X-rays, there are no pictures. She attacked me while recording, screaming, ‘You’re hurting me.’
“I have not seen her since that day. I went through the biggest depression of my life for two years after.

“She was hearing things. She was seeing things, and she was accusing me of things that were completely delusional. She would have massive breakdowns, panic attacks.
“She would come home from work, crying, scared she was going to stab somebody at the doctor’s office.”
In 2018, photos emerged of Loniliving on the streetsof Los Angeles, California. “I had wanted her and me to have a fairytale outcome. I couldn’t allow myself to see that she was actually insane,” Jeremy said.
The 41-year-old has repeatedly declined offers of help and shelter, most recently in an encounter with photographers a week ago, as perThe Dailymail.
“I haven’t spoken to Jeremy. I don’t want to speak to my friends, I’m doing just fine. I don’t want anyone to help me. I can live on my own. I’ve got everything I need right here,” the former model stated.
