Last week, a man rushed at Ariana Grande by Wicked: Too Good premiere in Singapore. Now he has been sentenced to nine days in prison.
The local court said the person, whose name is Johnson Wen, was charged with public nuisance after pleading guilty to the incident.
During proceedings, the man in question said he “wouldn’t do it again” after he was found trying to rush the carpet twice.
Ariana, meanwhile, did not break her silence on the matter. But it’s worth noting that Johnson has a history of rushing celebrities at events that include Priyanka Chopra, Katy Perry, The Weeknd and The Chainsmokers, among others.
He later posted these clips on social media. “@arianagrande @wickedmovie Dear Ariana Grande Thank you for letting me hop on the yellow carpet with you,” was the caption Johnson used for her post about the pop icon.
It is pertinent to mention that Cynthia Erivo, Ariana’s co-star, pushed back the person who rushed towards him, leading to an outpouring of praise for the actress.
