Ariana Grande's Close Call: A Fan's Unwanted Hug and the Heroic Response

During the Singapore premiere of Wicked: For Good, a fan named Johnson Wen, known online as Pyjama Man, caused a stir. He rushed towards Ariana Grande, hugging her tightly and jumping up and down. Grande looked scared, but her co-star Cynthia Erivo quickly stepped in. Erivo pushed Wen away and ensured Grande was okay.

A History of Antics

Wen is known for his disruptive behavior at live events. He has crashed stages at concerts by artists like Katy Perry and The Weeknd. He even posted a video of the incident on Instagram, thanking Grande for letting him jump on the carpet. His bio refers to Grande as his "Queen", showcasing his extreme fan behavior.

Setting Boundaries

Grande had already set boundaries with fans earlier. She missed the Brazil premiere due to flight delays and asked fans not to wish harm on her. Despite this, Wen's actions showed a lack of respect for those boundaries.

Online Backlash

Fans online were quick to criticize Wen. They called his actions disrespectful, especially to those who waited patiently to meet Grande. Wen has restricted comments on his post, but the backlash continues.

The Bigger Picture

This incident raises questions about fan behavior and the importance of respecting personal boundaries. It also highlights the need for better security at public events.
