🔗 Share this article Man Who Approached Ariana Grande at Film Launch Barred from Singapore The event happened during the red carpet tour of the movie adaptation appearance in Singapore An individual of Australian nationality who jumped over a barricade and reached for Hollywood star Ariana Grande has been deported and banned from Singapore. Johnson Wen, aged 26, was sentenced to more than a week in prison for being a public nuisance and has now been "banned from entering the country again," the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority told news outlets. Wen pushed beyond security and approached aggressively the celebrity, who was participating in the Asian premier for the musical adaptation on November 13. Co-performer Cynthia Erivo wrestled him away from Grande. The individual has a record of interrupting performances and star-studded occasions, including jumping on stage at a Katy Perry performance in Sydney in June this year. The occurrence caused anger in Singapore, with many claiming he of re-traumatising Grande. The pop star has discussed experiencing post-traumatic stress disorder after a suicide bomb attack at her performance in the English city in several years ago resulted in the deaths of over twenty people and hurt numerous attendees. In the legal process, the authorities learned he had tried to gain access on the film's premiere twice, according to local news sources. He then made a follow-up try to breach security. Protection personnel prevented him and pinned him down. He then uploaded videos thanking Grande for permitting his access and said he was "at liberty." Law enforcement took him into custody the following day and accused him with public nuisance, to which he confessed. The Court Judge the magistrate was cited by Channel News Asia as stating that the man sought attention, adding that he was mistaken to believe he would not suffer any consequences. Grande has not addressed the case. Erivo mentioned the incident to the press, remarking that she "simply desired to verify my friend was safe." "I'm sure he didn't mean us danger, but you can't predict with those things, and I aimed to confirm that she was fine. That was my immediate response," she stated.
