"Ariana Grande wasn't physically hurt when a fan jumped a barricade at the Wicked: For Good premiere in Singapore Thursday and tried to wrap his arm around her. But Grande looked visibly shaken, and a source told the Daily Mail that the incident triggered the post-traumatic stress disorder she dealt with after a terrorist's bomb exploded at the end of her May 2017 concert at the Manchester Arena in the United Kingdom. The suicide bombing killed 22 people and injured more than 1000."
"After she blew kisses to people on her right, a man jumped the barricade from the left side, ran up, wrapped his arm around her and jumped up and down. His attack was stopped by Erivo, who quickly moved in and pulled the man off her friend. Bodyguards also jumped in, surrounding Grande and taking the man away while Erivo and Yeoh comforted her. Grande continued to move forward, while people on the side yelled to her, Ariana, are you OK? Are you OK?"
Ariana Grande was not physically injured when a man jumped a barricade and wrapped his arm around her at the Wicked: For Good premiere in Singapore, but she appeared shaken. Cynthia Erivo intervened and pulled the man away while bodyguards surrounded Grande and removed him. Fans yelled for her safety as she continued down the yellow carpet with co-stars Michelle Yeoh and Jeff Goldblum. The man identified himself on Instagram as Johnson Wen, also known as Pyjama Mann, and has a history of rushing events to get close to celebrities. The incident revived concerns about Grande's security and triggered PTSD linked to the 2017 Manchester Arena bombing.
