Ariana Grande’s appearance at the Asia-Pacific premiere of Wicked: For Good in Singapore took a shocking turn when an Australian man, Johnson Wen, breached security and grabbed the actress. The incident, captured in a viral video, shows Wen pushing past photographers and charging at Grande as the cast walked down the yellow carpet. Co-star Cynthia Erivo swiftly intervened, pulling Grande away from the intruder, who was later escorted out by security. Wen claimed on Instagram that he was ‘free after being arrested,’ though court documents indicated he was scheduled to appear in court the following day. It remains unclear if charges were filed. This is not the first time Wen has disrupted celebrity events; his Instagram feed features clips of him jumping on stage at Katy Perry’s Sydney concert and The Chainsmokers’ performance last year. Fans have expressed outrage, calling for Wen’s arrest or deportation, and criticizing event security for its lack of vigilance. Many also highlighted Grande’s past trauma, referencing the 2017 Manchester Arena bombing that left her with PTSD. Grande has not publicly commented on the incident. The premiere, held at a Singapore mall, drew hundreds of fans dressed in green and pink, some of whom waited up to eight hours to meet the cast. Wicked: For Good, set for release on November 21, is the second installment of the adaptation of the Broadway musical Wicked, which explores the friendship between two witches. The first film was the UK’s highest-grossing movie of 2024, earning 10 Oscar nominations and winning two awards.
