"Nobody in all of Oz, no wizard that there is or was, is ever gonna bring Ari down - not on Cynthia Erivo's watch. When a man jumped a barricade and rushed at Ariana Grande on the yellow carpet for the Wicked: For Good premiere in Singapore, Erivo sprung into action quicker than actual security personnel at the November 13 event. She darted past Michelle Yeoh to pull the man's arm off of Grande and put her body in between them, hugging her co-star protectively afterward."
"Johnson Wen, also known online as "Pyjama Man," was quick to identify himself. "I dreamed about meeting Ariana Grande, and finally my dream came true," he said in an Instagram Story posted after the incident. In the caption of a post addressed to Grande, he shared a truly delusional interpretation of events: "Thank You for letting me Jump on the Yellow Carpet with You ❤️." Wen has been interrupting high-profile events for years."
