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.

    Sure thing, please clarify how you can possibly diagnose someone from a news article and some responding posts on social media. Then clarify how you are being professional throwing out these diagnoses as factual opinion in an open forum.

    You see I actually had a mother who was a both a therapist and psychologist and she often remarked on the nature of diagnosis and in particular how non-professional armchair psych was indicated by people throwing out terms like fools name-dropping.

    I could say you’re full of shit but that would be redundant. Suffice to say a professional would not diagnose an individual by third hand reporting.

      … you’re claiming your mom’s expertise?

        No I’m making a statement about the nature of diagnosis and professionalism and my other response has linked articles by professionals who agree with my statement.

          You are claiming these professionals agree with your statement?

          I haven’t seen their endorsement of your comments so maybe that’s the context we are missing. Can you point us to where they read and responded to your comments?
