The Celebrity Beat…

Ariana Grande was rushed by a man ahead of the premiere of “Wicked: For Good” in Singapore tpday, appearing frightened as co-star Cynthia Erivo and security rushed to intervene.

The man who rushed Grande, Johnson Wen, posted the video to his own Instagram where he thanked Grande for “letting” him jump onto the carpet. Wen has an account under the name Pyjama Man where he posts about rushing concert stages and sporting events.

But it did not appear that Grande was aware of the situation in the video, looking scared as the man ran towards her and put his arm around her while she stood beside her co-star Michelle Yeoh.

Cynthia Erivo, the film’s co-headliner, immediately jumped into action across the two women and tried to pry Wen off of Grande as security moved toward them. Yeoh also appeared to put her arms around Grande to pull her away from the man.

Videos posted by others online showed that Erivo seemed to move positions on the carpet to ensure Grande walked in between her and Yeoh.

Fans of Grande offered a fierce defense of the singer in the comments of Wen’s Instagram video, with some describing it as an assault on Grande. Commenters also called on others to report the man’s account.

Some of Grande’s fans pointed out that the singer has experienced prior trauma at events, referencing the 2017 bombing of her concert in Manchester where 22 people were killed.

Wen has posted videos of himself crashing concert stages, including at Katy Perry and The Weeknd shows, as well as rushing the fields at sporting events. In a message to NBC News, Wen described himself as a “mega fan” of Grande and that he was “happy” to meet her.

“I dreamed about meeting her and now my dreams became true,” he wrote.
