Ariana Grande's Red Carpet Scare: Who is the Man Behind the Chaos?

A man named Johnson Wen, aged 26, from Australia, was arrested in Singapore for causing a commotion on the red carpet during the premiere of "Wicked: For Good. " He was charged with being a public nuisance, which could result in a fine of around $1, 500 if he is found guilty. Wen, who calls himself "Troll Most Hated" on Instagram, has a history of disrupting events. He has previously interrupted concerts by artists like Katy Perry, The Weeknd, and The Chainsmokers, as well as intruding on sporting events. After his release, Wen posted a video on Instagram with a song playing in the background that had the lyric, "If I had to do it all over again, I'd still do it all over again. " This suggests that he has no regrets about his actions. The incident occurred during the premiere event at a Singapore mall, where hundreds of fans were present. Wen pushed past photographers and grabbed Ariana Grande, leaving her visibly shaken. Her co-star, Cynthia Erivo, quickly came to her aid, pushing Wen away and comforting Grande. In 2017, a tragic terrorist attack occurred outside one of Grande's concerts in Manchester, England, killing 22 people. This event had a profound impact on Grande, who has spoken openly about her struggles with PTSD, grief, depression, and anxiety. She found solace in music, which helped her cope with the trauma. Some fans have accused Wen of re-traumatizing Grande with his recent actions. "Wicked: For Good" had its European premiere in London earlier this week, with the cast joined by other notable actors. The first "Wicked" film was a massive success, earning critical acclaim and over $750 million globally. The film's success led to nominations for Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo at the 2025 Oscars, along with a best picture nomination.
