- Immigration and Checkpoints Authority said on Nov 23 that Australian national Johnson Wen, 26, was removed to Australia and prohibited from re-entering Singapore.
- Wen pleaded guilty on Nov 17 and received nine days in jail for public nuisance, with the court imposing a higher term than prosecutors sought to discourage repeat conduct.
- During the Nov 13 premiere at Resorts World Sentosa, he jumped a barricade, put his arm around Ariana Grande on the yellow carpet, and was separated by co-star Cynthia Erivo before security intervened.
- He attempted a second breach after being escorted away and later posted video of the incident to Instagram and TikTok.
- Police arrested him around midnight on Nov 14 in Temple Street, and court filings noted he had arrived on Nov 11 as reports highlighted his history of similar disruptions at major events.
