Man who rushed Ariana Grande at ‘Wicked’ premiere jailed in Singapore

Man who rushed Ariana Grande at ‘Wicked’ premiere jailed in Singapore

The man who sprinted over to Ariana Grande and threw his arm around her during the premiere was charged with being a public nuisance by a Singapore court.

Authorities have charged the man who rushed at Ariana Grande while she walked the yellow brick road carpet at the Singapore premiere of her new movie Wicked: For Good on Thursday.

On Friday, the Australian man, named Johnson Wen, was charged with being a public nuisance by a Singapore court.

Wen, 26, pleaded guilty to the charge on Monday and was sentenced to nine days in jail.

Wen told the court that he arrived in Singapore on Nov. 11 on a 90-day social visit pass to attend the premiere and for a holiday, the Straits Times reports.

In the now-viral video from the Wicked: For Good premiere, Wen jumped over a barricade as Grande was signing autographs while walking along the carpet at Universal Studios Singapore, alongside co-stars Cynthia Erivo, Michelle Yeoh and Jeff Goldblum.

Wen then sprinted over to Grande and threw his arm around her, jumping up and down excitedly while waving at the crowd. Erivo quickly intervened, pulling them apart just before security stepped in and escorted him off the carpet.

Grande looked visibly shaken in the video and took a deep breath as Erivo hugged her once the man was gone.
