Overview
- Johnson Wen, 26, known online as “Pyjama Man,” pleaded guilty to a public-order offense after confronting Ariana Grande on the yellow carpet in Singapore.
- Magistrate Christopher Goh imposed a nine-day jail term, describing the conduct as planned and pointing to Wen’s prior interruptions at high-profile events.
- Prosecutors had agreed to seek about a week in custody in a plea deal, and the judge slightly increased the term to underscore deterrence, according to local reports.
- Video from the premiere shows Wen jumping a barrier and grabbing Grande before Cynthia Erivo intervened and security removed him.
- Authorities noted the offense is punishable under Singapore law by fines and up to three months in prison; Grande has not issued a direct statement, while Erivo later spoke about the emotional strain and their solidarity.
