In a new Hulu documentary, After Baywatch: Moment in the Sun, Jeremy Jackson has made a startling revelation about his time on the iconic series. The 43-year-old actor, who played Hobie Buchannon, admitted to sneaking into his female co-stars’ trailers and smelling their dirty swimsuits.

Jackson, who was only 10 when he joined Baywatch and spent his teenage years on the show, recounted the experience with a shocking level of detail. “I would usually sneak into [the women’s] trailers after they were done and grab their dirty bathing suits,” Jackson said. He further described his behavior as, “Let’s just say I smelled every p—y on ‘Baywatch.’”

Nicole Eggert, one of the main targets of Jackson’s behavior, was particularly affected. “And Nicole was the big one, for sure,” Jackson admitted. He revealed that he had a “very intimate moment” with Eggert that she was unaware of. In response, Eggert, who was recently diagnosed with breast cancer, expressed a nonchalant reaction, saying, “There’s nothing Jeremy could say that would freak me out.”

The documentary also explores Jackson’s troubled youth, including his struggles with drug abuse during his final year on the show. Reflecting on his experiences, Jackson mentioned, “When you haven’t slept for five days and you’ve been smoking crystal meth, having somebody look you in the eyes and say ‘Dude, are you OK?’ is like the worst thing that can happen.” Jackson was arrested in 1999 and later spent time in rehab.

The documentary provides a candid look into Jackson's life during and after Baywatch, shedding light on his personal struggles and the impact of growing up in the spotlight.
