Man Already in Court - Ariana Grande ambushed by ‘Pyjama Man’ at *Wicked* premiere, sparking outrage
Ariana Grande was ambushed by an Australian social media personality, Johnson Wen, also known as the 'Pyjama Man', during the 'Wicked' premiere in Singapore. The incident, which left Grande feeling insecure, sparked outrage among fans and cast members.
Wen, who draped his arm around Grande, is facing charges for causing public disturbance. He could be fined up to 2,000 Singapore dollars (around €1,300). Grande's co-stars, Cynthia Erivo and Michelle Yeoh, swiftly intervened to protect her. Wen, however, described himself as a 'troll' and posted a video of the incident on his Instagram, thanking Grande.
The incident has been widely condemned. Marissa Bode, who plays Nessarose Thropp in both 'Wicked' films, addressed those defending Wen, stating that his actions made someone feel unsafe. Fans and cast members have criticized Wen's actions, citing Grande's past struggles with anxiety and PTSD.
Wen's actions have led to public backlash and charges. The incident serves as a reminder of the importance of respect and consent in public spaces. Grande's team and fans have shown support, ensuring her safety and well-being.
