Overview
- Fan-shot videos show a man breaching barricades and seizing Grande by the shoulders before Erivo stepped in and security escorted him out.
- Michelle Yeoh was seen consoling Grande, who looked shaken but unhurt, as the cast regrouped on the carpet.
- Media identified the intruder as Johnson Wen, known online as “Pyjama Man,” with a 2025 record of similar incursions at Katy Perry and The Weeknd shows.
- Wen later posted on Instagram, “Dear Ariana Grande, thank you for letting me jump on the yellow carpet with you,” drawing widespread backlash.
- The production said everyone was fine and the event continued, with reports that Wen was briefly detained and released and with reinforced measures expected for remaining premieres, including New York.
