Ariana Grande was subjected to a disturbing fan attack at the 'Wicked: For Good' premiere in Singapore, where Cynthia Erivo sprang into action to defend her co-star.
During the event, where fans lined up to meet the cast, Johnson Wen, also known as Pyjama Man, aggressively grabbed Grande from behind, pulling her into an awkward hug. However, it was not before Erivo swiftly intervened, shoving Wen away and checking on Grande's well-being.
Wen, a self-proclaimed "stage invader" with a history of disrupting live events, was quickly identified as the culprit behind the bizarre incident. Despite his past antics, including evading security at Katy Perry, The Weeknd, and The Chainsmokers' tours, Wen seemed to have crossed a line when he jumped up and down while gripping Grande's shoulders on camera.
Grande had drawn clear boundaries with her fans from the start of the 'Wicked: For Good' premiere tour, warning them against wishing danger upon her after they expressed disappointment about missing the Brazil premiere due to flight delays. The singer called on fans not to take their frustrations too far, assuring them that she and her team did everything possible to make it happen.
In light of this incident, Grande's team is likely to step up security measures at future events. With Erivo's quick thinking in saving the day, the 'Wicked' stars managed a dignified exit, ushering themselves away from the carpet without stopping to greet fans, as one would expect when dealing with unpredictable and unstable individuals such as Wen.

Ariana Grande's already stressed about flight delays and now some weirdo jumps out & grabs her from behind... but kudos to Cynthia Erivo for saving the day, she's literally a hero 
! Wen should've known better than to mess with fans who know their limits 
. security at her events is gonna be super tight from now on 
& chased him away 
. ariana had warned her fans not 2 be too harsh wen they were disappointed about missin the brazil premiere cuz of flight delays, but this guy jus didnt listen 
. now u think ariana's team is gonna step up security 4 future events 
I mean, what's wrong with these fans?! Like, Ariana knows how to set boundaries and she does, but some people just can't respect that 
. I was at a gig once where someone was getting all aggressive towards the artist on stage and it was super scary 
. But seriously, Jen (Cynthia Erivo) is a total legend for stepping in like that - talk about saving lives 
! Wen needs to get some help, stat... not just because he got caught but because it's clear he's got some serious issues 
. Kudos to Ariana and her team for being proactive about security too 
. I mean, who does that?! 
. And to think he's got a history of causing trouble at concerts... what's wrong with some people?! 
. And then Cynthia Erivo saves the day like a total hero 
... talk about team spirit! 
. Johnson Wen's behavior is just wild, he's always causing trouble at these events 
. Security needs to be stepped up, ASAP! 
. maybe they should take a step back and think about how their actions might affect others, instead of resorting to negativity and aggression.
. I mean, think about it, this guy's been causing a scene at concerts for months and people are still surprised when he decides to go off the rails? Like, what were they expecting? And then there's Grande, who's already dealing with all this pressure and drama from her fans... just great 
. it's just another example of how some fans can go totally off the rails, thinking they have the right to be all aggressive and stuff...like newsflash: you don't
