🔗 Share this article Man Who Approached Ariana Grande at Film Launch Banned from Singapore The event occurred throughout the red carpet tour of the movie adaptation visit in Singapore A man from Australia who jumped past a barrier and grabbed celebrity Ariana Grande has been deported and banned from Singapore. Johnson Wen, twenty-six, was handed a penalty to over a week in detention for disrupting public order and has now been "prohibited from returning to Singapore," Singaporean immigration authorities told local media. The man shoved past photographers and charged at the actress and singer, who was present at the regional launch for the musical adaptation on November 13. Co-performer Cynthia Erivo wrestled him away from Grande. He has a background of causing disturbances at events and celebrity events, including leaping onto the platform at the pop star's Australian show in June this year. The occurrence sparked outrage in Singapore, with several individuals accusing him of causing further distress to the star. The singer has mentioned dealing with trauma-related anxiety after a suicide bomb attack at her performance in the English city in several years ago resulted in the deaths of 22 individuals and affected hundreds. During Wen's trial, the judge was informed he had made efforts to breach on the red carpet event on two occasions, according to regional reports. He then made a second attempt to breach security. Protection personnel intercepted him and pinned him down. Wen later posted video clips thanking Grande for letting him on the carpet and said he was "released." Police arrested him the subsequent day and accused him with public nuisance, to which the man admitted guilt. The Court Judge the magistrate was quoted by media reports as stating that Wen was "attention seeking", adding that he was wrong to believe he would not face any penalties. The actress has not addressed the incident. Cynthia Erivo mentioned the situation to the press, stating that she "just wanted to make sure my co-star was protected." "I think he didn't intend us injury, but you never know with such situations, and I wanted to make sure that she was fine. That was my immediate response," she commented.
