Overview
- Singapore’s Immigration and Checkpoints Authority said Johnson Wen, 26, was deported to Australia on Nov. 23 and barred from re-entering.
- Wen pleaded guilty on Nov. 17 to being a public nuisance and received nine days in jail, with the judge calling him “attention-seeking.”
- Video showed Wen jumping a barricade at Universal Studios Singapore on Nov. 13, briefly putting his arm around Grande before Cynthia Erivo and security intervened; he tried to rush the carpet a second time, according to local reports.
- Wen posted footage of the encounter on his social accounts and has a record of similar stunts at concerts and sporting events, including incidents involving Katy Perry and others.
- Grande has not commented publicly; Erivo said she acted on instinct to protect her co-star, as discussion continues about event security and not amplifying stunt footage.
