Johnson Wen, a scummy influencer whose schtick is charging at celebrities and jumping up and down on them until he’s hauled away by security, has been arrested in Singapore and charged with being a public nuisance after a Wicked red-carpet assault of Ariana Grande.
Wen’s social pages (bro is not getting a link from us but they’re not hard to find) is perhaps most notorious for invading the pitch at the 2023 World Cup to give The Weeknd an unwelcome hug. His videos also show him making Katy Perry deeply uncomfortable, as well as interrupting (improving?) a Chainsmokers concert. Even a broken clock is right twice a day.
His harassment of Grande in Singapore was more physical and, frankly, violent than his other stunts, inspiring Wicked co-star Cynthia Erivo to fucking body him out of the way. Don’t mess with Erivo, is one lesson here. Don’t be a piece of shit is another. Via Variety, Wen faces fines of up to S$2000 ($1,540 USD) if found guilty.
Wicked: For Good storms into US theaters one week from today on November 21st.
