Man Who Harassed Ariana Grande at Singapore Premiere Gets 9 Days in Jail

The court deemed the breach deliberate, issuing a penalty well below Singapore's three-month maximum.

Overview

  • A 26-year-old Australian was convicted of disrupting public order after jumping a barricade at the Asia premiere of Wicked: For Good in Singapore.
  • He put his arm around Grande before co-star Cynthia Erivo intervened and security removed him, and the event continued after a brief interruption.
  • Judge Christopher Goh described the conduct as intentional and attention-seeking in remarks delivered at sentencing.
  • The incident was widely shared online, and Grande appeared visibly shocked but was not physically injured.
  • Before the sentence was handed down, the defendant apologized in court, saying, "I won't do it again, Your Honour. I'll stop causing trouble."
