Stage Invader: The Man Who Keeps Crashing Celebrity Events

A man named Johnson Wen, 26, from Australia, has been making headlines again. This time, he jumped over a barricade to grab Ariana Grande at the "Wicked: For Good" premiere in Singapore. He has been charged with causing a public nuisance. This isn't his first time doing something like this. Wen has a history of crashing big events. He has rushed stages during concerts by Katy Perry, the Weeknd, and the Chainsmokers. He even ran onto the track during the men's 100-meter final at the 2024 Paris Olympics. He calls himself a "stage invader" and a "troll most hated" on his Instagram. In a video of the incident, Wen is seen pushing past photographers to reach Grande. Grande's co-star, Cynthia Erivo, quickly pulled her away. Security intervened right after. The event was part of the promotional tour for "Wicked: For Good, " which opens on November 21. Wen posted the footage of his stunt on Instagram with a caption thanking Grande. His Instagram feed is full of videos of him crashing other events. People online have been reacting strongly. Many are asking why he isn't in jail already. Others want him deported. Grande has not commented on the incident. She has spoken about having post-traumatic stress from the 2017 bomb attack at her concert in Manchester. Fans are upset, saying it's disrespectful to her and everyone else involved. Wen described himself as a "mega fan" of Grande in a message to NBC News. However, one of Grande's co-stars, Marissa Bode, disagreed. She doesn't think Wen is a real fan. This incident raises questions about fan behavior and the line between admiration and invasion of privacy.
