Mother who pushed kids from moving car, killed partner was astrology influencer disturbed by eclipse

www.latimes.com Mother who pushed kids from moving car, killed partner was astrology influencer disturbed by eclipse

Danielle Johnson, who killed her partner and pushed her children out of a moving car, was an astrology influencer who posted about being afraid of the solar eclipse.

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.

There are 2-5 solar eclipses every year and people still went nuts and committed murder this time.

Holy fuck that was a lot.

Under the Ayoka moniker, Johnson issued a torrent of antisemitic screeds, conspiracy theories and alarmist warnings on April 4 and 5. These included a repost of a debunked apocryphal speech attributed to Ben Franklin about how Jewish people “depreciated” societies wherever they settled, a video about Jews promoting pedophilia in the entertainment industry, and unproven theories about the origin of COVID-19.

Yeah I'm gonna say that mental illness played a part in this.

Also apparently the kid that pushed out of the car survived. I hope they're able to handle it.

with more than 100,000 followers on X who liked her increasingly worrying messages.

It's all happening on X!

A great reminder that not every astrologist is after your money. Some are also just complete maniacs.

Why does anyone need an "astrology influencer"

Those poor babies. Who the fuck throws an 8 month old and 9 year old out of a moving vehicle on the freeway?! What a monster. I hope that 9 year old girl is able to heal from this… by some miracle. Such a senseless tragedy.

Some serious mental illness

In her defense she was left unsupervised

Anyone who unironically begins a statement with "WAKE UP" all in caps like that can safely be assumed to, shall we say, have a tenuous grasp on reality.

Social media doesn't necessiarially cause mental health issues, but it definitely dumps a tanker truck of gasoline on any spark of mental illness.

She did us a favor by killing herself it's just unfortunate she took others with her on the way out

This is qanon shit. Don't know why OP didn't include it in their excerpts of the article.

…yeah, I don’t have words for this one past “wtf?!”

I looked at a Twitter post she made, and that girl is fucking gonzo.

To quote Ray Finkle's father: "The engines running, there's just no one behind the wheel."

I mean, that wasn't a conspiracy theory, her religion lead her to do that. Raving about the apocalypse and trying to get raptured and shit

The nutjobs are the real idealists, and yet they always hate the left wing and support the me-me-me guys. What gives?

Jesus christ!

At least she was kind enough to get herself killed in the process. Fucking nutters are on conspiracy steroids since the pan.

Qualifications required for being a divine healer:

Eclipse without protection: not even once.

Its a shame that the woo was so strong in this one.

Just a friendly reminder that zodiac signs have changed and if you read horoscopes, you are probably reading the wrong ones.

I hate when they throw in superfluous words to make the title sound more intelligent
