Ariana Grande Grabbed at Singapore 'Wicked: Teil 2' Premiere as Cynthia Erivo Intervenes

The intruder was identified as serial disruptor Johnson Wen, known as 'Pyjama Man'.

Overview

  • Event footage shows a man vaulting a barrier and seizing Grande on the yellow carpet before security removed him.
  • Cynthia Erivo quickly pulled the man away as Michelle Yeoh tried to calm Grande, who appeared visibly shaken.
  • The suspect posted his own video celebrating the stunt and was identified as Johnson Wen, who uses the moniker 'Pyjama Man'.
  • Reports note Wen has disrupted previous celebrity events, including a Katy Perry concert in June and a The Weeknd show in August.
  • He was briefly detained at the scene, with any potential charges in Singapore not yet announced, as coverage also references Grande’s past PTSD after the 2017 Manchester attack.
