Danielle Johnson was worried about the eclipse.

The astrology influencer and “divine healer” who went by the name Danielle Ayoka online called the upcoming astronomical event “the epitome of spiritual warfare” and told people they needed to “pick a side,” in posts on X on April 4.

Less than three days later, in the early morning before the partial solar eclipse, Johnson left a trail of tragedy in her wake: her partner stabbed to death in the kitchen of the family apartment in Woodland Hills, her 8-month-old baby dead after being pushed from Johnson’s moving Porsche Cayenne on the 405, and Johnson herself dead after crashing her car on Pacific Coast Highway in Redondo Beach.

    Total solar eclipses happen every one to three years…

    Also, people go nuts and kill people every damn day

      Yep. The sad fact is that if there was no eclipse, she would have rationalized it differently and blamed something else.

      Perhaps a storm, the full moon, the spoiled milk in her fridge, etc.
