From Santa Monica Close Up:

"During the weekly homeless encampment cleanup at Venice Beach, a brief standoff occurred between Venice Healer Daisy and Los Angeles Park Rangers, as they requested her to dismantle her "Goddess Temple," a 10x10 pop-up tent she had set up on the beach. Daisy initially refused, standing her ground when asked to take it down.

After discussions with both the Park Rangers and LAPD officers, a peaceful agreement was reached. Daisy agreed to take down her temple voluntarily, allowing the cleanup task force to continue its operation. She dismantled the pop-up tent that serves as her temple, and the task force moved on to address other homeless encampments along Venice Beach."

From Santa Monica Close Up:

"On Wednesday, August 7, 2024, Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) officers responded to a complaint regarding the disruption of a Starbucks commercial filming on the Venice Beach Boardwalk. Starbucks was in the process of filming an autumn-themed commercial at the Venice Beach Boardwalk Pagodas when the incident occurred.

Adjacent to the commercial setup, BBOY KydSteez (@kydsteezinc), a regular street performer and comedian, was conducting his daily performance using amplification. The production company claimed that the loud sound from the performer was interfering with their filming, prompting them to contact the police.

The street performer contended that amplification is permitted on the boardwalk. An LAPD sergeant clarified that the production company had a filming permit, which led to a discussion about the boundaries and perimeters defined in the permit. The street performer argued that no clear boundaries had been established.

After discussions between the police and the street performer, an agreement was reached. The performer agreed to cease using amplification for his comedy routine and to rely solely on his voice without a public address system. Additionally, the comedian alleged that a member of the production's security team had placed his hand on his gun while making demands. The comedian intends to file a formal complaint regarding this incident."

Santa Monica Close Up talks to John "All Good", Daisy's current Prince and business partner about her arrest:

"John All Good shared a compelling account of the events that unfolded on July 3rd and 4th, when he and Venice Healer Daisy, were arrested following a protest outside the courthouse over Daisy's child custody case. The protest, which aimed to address issues of family conflict resolution and promote messages of love and unity, took a dramatic turn when police confronted the couple.

John detailed how the situation escalated quickly when police mistakenly believed he was carrying a weapon due to a locked container attached to his motorcycle. Despite explaining that it contained no ammunition and he didn’t possess the key, the encounter led to their arrest. He described the police's response as overly aggressive, highlighting that they were equipped with high-precision non-lethal weapons.

While in custody, John expressed admiration for the professionalism of the officers' tactical skills but criticized the misinformation and communication failures that led to the use of force. He recounted how, after being hit with a non-lethal round and taken to the hospital against his will, he was eventually released with minor charges. Daisy, however, faced more severe legal consequences and remains in custody facing significant charges.

On Thursday morning, Daisy the Venice Healer had a seizure while on the boardwalk.

According to her video, she became paralized, going in and out of conscious.

She recently had surgery to have her botched butt and hip implants redone and was told to stay inside and rest so her body can recover, but she chose to come out to Venice Beach, which she believes is the reason she started having seizures.

She was taken to the hospital, where she said the prognosis "multiple grand mal seizures (loss of consciousness and violent muscle contractions)". As well as dehydration and heart palpitations.

"I died and came back several times"

Daisy was released from the hospital later in the evening. "I don't have use of my legs right now...thank you guys for your support"

With the powers of her Care Bear Stare, Venice Healer Daisy mediates a conflict over a $5 energy drink on the Venice Beach Boardwalk.

3 homeless men from Ventura cause havoc on the Venice Beach Boardwalk.

Featuring: Venice Healer Daisy , Buzzed Lightyear, the LAPD, a hardcore tough guy from Ventura, & many more....

Back Story: According to witnesses, a trio of homeless men (proudly claiming they are from Ventura County) showed up on the Venice Boardwalk and started causing problems. The latest problem led to one of the 3 men pulling out a bottle and trying to attack one of the locals. He lost that fight and ended up on the ground beat up and bloody, while his friend ran off. That is where this video begins, when the police show up and the second guy comes back....

On the morning of Monday, May 13, 2024, a notable confrontation occurred on the Venice Beach Boardwalk between Daisy the Venice Healer and Kenny, a local regulator. The argument quickly intensified as Daisy voiced her concerns regarding the behavior of a man named Elijah, labeling him as overly violent. She urged Kenny to intervene, but her pleas were met with staunch opposition and counter-accusations.

Kenny rebuffed Daisy's appeals, accusing her of causing disruptions and questioning her sincerity and motives. He shared his feelings of being misunderstood and unfairly judged by others in their community. As the disagreement continued, both parties blamed each other for a lack of support and respect. Daisy advocated for resolving issues through love and understanding, contrasting sharply with Kenny’s criticisms of her associations with individuals he considered negatively influential.

From Santa Monica Close Up:

"Venice Healer Daisy along with her fiancé Jeff Kupers and a team of volunteers, stepped in to support the community by feeding the homeless on the Venice Beach Boardwalk. This initiative came as a response to the illness of Dan Hubbard, the founder and CEO of Oasis, who was recently sidelined and unable to continue his work.

Daisy and Jeff began their day early, using the Oasis van to collect donated food items from Whole Foods and Vons. They then transported these provisions to Venice Beach, where volunteers were ready to distribute them. The assortment of donated food included fresh fruits and vegetables, pastries, cookies and desserts, baked breads, and various protein options.

The couple plans to continue this vital service, providing meals to the unhoused while Dan is recovering. Their efforts align with the broader mission of Oasis Network, which has a long-standing tradition of reaching out to the homeless, not only on weekends at Venice Beach but also on weekdays in Redondo.

From Santa Monica Close Up:

"Venice Beach Boardwalk cleanup encountered a hurdle as Venice Healer Daisy stood firm at her tiny home location. Despite requests from Los Angeles Park Rangers to move her belongings for the cleanup operation, Daisy chose not to comply. The Rangers, opting against using force, allowed Daisy and a few other individuals to remain, redirecting their cleanup efforts to other areas of the beach and boardwalk.

The cleanup, a routine operation carried out every Friday, is a collaboration between the Department of Public Works and Recreation and Parks, along with Action Cleanup Environmental Services. While Action Cleanup handles the sorting of hazardous materials like batteries and syringes, Public Works deals with non-hazardous waste, part of the city's broader homelessness strategy focusing on public health and safety.
