Overview
- Johnson Wen, 26, pleaded guilty to public nuisance after leaping a barricade at Universal Studios Singapore on Nov. 13 and grabbing Grande on the yellow carpet.
- District Judge Christopher Goh described Wen as attention-seeking with a history of disruptions, noting he twice tried to breach the carpet before security pinned him down.
- Prosecutors sought a week in jail, and the offence carries penalties of up to three months’ imprisonment or a fine of up to S$2,000 under Singapore law.
- Wen, known online as “Pyjamamann,” posted video of the encounter thanking Grande and later claimed he was “free after being arrested” before charges were filed.
- Grande has not commented; Cynthia Erivo, who stepped between Grande and the intruder, publicly alluded to the ordeal as the tour moves to a final New York stop ahead of the Nov. 21 release.
