Cynthia Erivo Steps In to Shield Ariana Grande at Singapore Premiere as Old Clips Go Viral

A nine-day jail term for the fan coincides with an online argument over whether the co-stars' closeness signals care or crossed boundaries.

Overview

  • Video from the Singapore green carpet shows Erivo physically intervening when a fan breached security and lunged at Grande.
  • Authorities later jailed the Australian fan for nine days, according to reports citing judicial sources.
  • Resurfaced footage highlights moments such as Erivo adjusting Grande’s necklace during an interview, kissing her hand, and closely checking on her after jostling.
  • Critics on social platforms used terms like possessiveness and love bombing, with some spreading unverified conspiratorial claims about the interactions.
  • Supporters point to clips of reciprocal affection and to the pair’s own descriptions of a conscious pact to look after each other, including matching “For Good” tattoos.
