Ariana Grande’s Co-Star Slams Fan Who Accosted Singer At ‘Wicked’ Premiere

Marissa Bode posted several TikTok videos on Friday addressing the incident.
One of Ariana Grande’s co-stars is speaking out after an overzealous fan rushed the singer during the “Wicked: For Good” premiere in Singapore on Thursday.
Marissa Bode, who plays Nessarose Thropp in the film adaptation of the popular Broadway play, posted several TikTok videos on Friday addressing the absurd incident, where, during the premiere, a stage-invading social media influencer sped toward the singer and got close enough to wrap an arm around her, hopping up and down in the process. Cynthia Erivo, who also stars in the movie, helped corral the man to security.
Bode began by responding to people who defended the behavior simply because the individual claimed to be a fan of Grande — a justification that didn’t sit well with her.
″‘But they’re a fan!’ OK. Then they’re a fan and a loser,” Bode said.
The actor said the encounter constituted a violation of Grande’s personal boundaries, then shifted to the idea of parasocial relationships — situations in which someone forms a one-way emotional bond with a celebrity or fictional character simply through consuming their media, creating a feeling of closeness or friendship that isn’t actually mutual.
