EXCLUSIVE VIDEO INTERVIEW: Jeremy London's Neighbor Says Actor Broke; Begged Him To Wash Cars For Money
June 17 2010, Published 5:29 a.m. ET
Troubled Party of Five star Jeremy London begged a neighbor to wash his cars to earn some extra cash, RadarOnline.com has exclusively learned.
In an exclusive video interview, London's neighbor, Cameron Khoie , a car salesman, says he allowed the actor to work for him after his marriage crumbled, and his debts spiraled out -of -control.
As RadarOnline.com was first to report, London was the victim of a bizarre abduction and robbery incident in Palm Springs on June 10.
Only hours after we broke the news of London's saga, RadarOnline.com went to the West Hills, California bungalow that London used to live in with estranged wife Melissa Cunningham and son Lyrik London, 3, and found it totally abandoned with neighbors saying that it had now gone into foreclosure.
Khoie exclusively told RadarOnline.com: “It’s sad, Jeremy is a nice guy but he seems to have fallen on hard times.
“He asked me if he could clean cars at my house to earn some extra cash, and if he could borrow a car but I didn’t want any trouble.
“Somebody came by the house around ten days ago, and then left, but I haven’t seen him in around four months, and he didn’t look to good.
“He originally spent a lot of money on the place but now it’s just a mess. His wife was living there with their young son and an ex-boyfriend after she and Jeremy split.
“Sometimes, he would come and visit and then she moved-out around a year ago, and he would live there himself on and off.
“It’s sad to hear about the incident in Palm Springs. I hope he will be okay.”
As RadarOnline.com previously reported, London, 37, was attempting to change a flat tire on his vehicle when a man stopped to help him, outside the Bahama Hotel & Apartments on North Palm Canyon Drive, late on the evening of Thursday, June 10.

Nobody was at the West Hills house today with most of the blinds being shut-over. The garden was over-grown and the backyard and pool area was overgrown with kids’ toys, furniture and trash toys scattered all around.
There were still some furnishings inside the house but it did not look as if anybody had lived there for quite some time.

He is currently going through a divorce from his actress wife whom he married in September 2006.
