Man who grabbed Ariana Grande at Wicked premiere charged with being public nuisance

Grande’s harasser has since been identified as self-professed “troll most hated” Johnson Wen, and charged with being a public nuisance in a Singapore court, per BBC. Local outlets report that the 26-year-old man intends to plead guilty. If convicted, he could be fined up to 2,000 Singapore dollars (about $1,540, per the outlet). 

Wen has been through accepting limits ’cause someone says they’re so (even if those limits are there for a very good reason) for years now. He’s done this sort of thing before—a fact that can be gleaned from his own Instagram, where he’s posted videos of himself evading security and running onstage at concerts by The Weeknd, Katy Perry, and The Chainsmokers, as well as multiple soccer games. He even posted a video of the most recent incident, along with the caption, “Dear Ariana Grande Thank You for letting me Jump on the Yellow Carpet with You.” 

Grande has not publicly commented on the incident as of this writing, but she did post the caption “thank you, Singapore ♡ we love you,” on Instagram Friday. Hopefully the rest of this press tour passes without incident, before Wicked: For Good opens in theaters November 21.
