"Footage on social media shows the cast walking the carpet when a man - identified as Johnson Wen aka @pyjamamann - jumps the fan barrier and rushes towards the "Positions" singer. Erivo and Yeoh notice Wen approaching, but Wen is able to throw his arm around Grande's shoulders and jump up and down. Footage shows security rushing to separate the two."
"After Wen is separated from Grande, Erivo holds her friend close and comforts her along with Yeoh. Grande appears to confirm to security she's ok as Erivo hugs her from behind. Other angles show the cast then continuing on the carpet while Wen is pinned to the ground by four men. People have expressed shock and outrage that someone would try such a stunt. One person called it "unacceptable and highly inappropriate," while others said it was "crazy.""
