An Australian social media personality known for harassing celebrities has been officially banned from Singapore after rushing pop star Ariana Grande during a high-profile movie event earlier this month.
The Shocking Red Carpet Incident
Johnson Wen, 26, managed to breach security barriers during the Wicked: For Good yellow carpet event in Singapore on November 12, 2025. The notorious internet personality, who calls himself "Pyjama Man" on social media, threw his arms around a stunned Grande while her co-stars Cynthia Erivo, Michelle Yeoh and Jeff Goldblum stood nearby.
Security footage and witness accounts show Erivo immediately leaping into action, physically separating Wen from Grande while Yeoh pulled the shaken singer to safety. The quick intervention prevented what could have been a more serious situation, though the incident caused significant alarm among the cast and event organizers.
Legal Consequences and Country Ban
Following the incident, Wen was charged with "being a public nuisance" and sentenced to nine days in prison. During court proceedings, the 26-year-old told the judge he would "not do it again," but Singapore authorities took additional measures due to the widespread public outrage the incident generated.
The Immigration and Checkpoints Authority of Singapore confirmed that Wen has now been "barred from re-entering" the country entirely. This permanent ban reflects Singapore's strict stance on maintaining public order and safety at major events.
Pattern of Celebrity Harassment
Johnson Wen has developed a reputation for disrupting celebrity events across multiple countries. His Instagram profile, where he identifies as the "Troll Most Hated," documents numerous incidents where he has jumped on stage during performances by artists including Katy Perry, The Weeknd, and The Chainsmokers.
Beyond music events, Wen has also run onto fields during sporting competitions, creating security concerns at various high-profile gatherings. His consistent pattern of behavior has made him known to security teams worldwide.
In the aftermath of the Singapore incident, Cynthia Erivo discussed the frightening moment on the Today show, explaining that her protective response was instinctual. "I wasn't really thinking," Erivo recalled. "I just wanted to make sure my friend was safe. I'm sure he didn't mean us harm, but you never know with those things and I wanted to make sure that she was OK. That was my first instinct."
Ariana Grande has not made any public statements about the incident or the subsequent legal actions against her attacker. The ban from Singapore represents one of the most significant consequences Wen has faced for his repeated celebrity confrontations.
