14 Nov - What was supposed to be a fun event went awry when Ariana Grande was charged by a fan during the Singapore premiere of "Wicked For Good".

The perpetrator, which was identified as an Australian man named Johnson Wen, jumped the barricade and rushed to grab Ariana by the shoulder while she was on the red carpet at the Resorts World Sentosa on 13 November along with the rest of the cast.

Videos of the incident had since gone viral, with many showing the man being dragged away by security as co-star Cynthia Erivo came to calm the apparently shocked Ariana.

It was revealed that this was not the first time that the said man had done such a thing. Wen is known to have disrupted tons of concerts and events, including Katy Perry at the Sydney leg of her tour in June.

On his Instagram profile, he even described himself as the "2023 World Cup Final Pitch Invader" and "Troll Most Hated," as well as "Ariana Grande is the Queen".
