The guy who got Ariana Grande at theWicked: For Goodbest in Singapore has actually been sentenced to 9 days in prison,The Straits Timesreports.
Johnson Wen, 26, was sentenced Monday, Nov. 17, after pleading guilty to one charge of being a public annoyance. Wen is a self-proclaimed “phase intruder,” who’s amassed some infamy for surpassing security at live music and sporting occasions, consisting of Katy Perry and the Weeknd performances, and the 2023 Women’s World Cup Final.
In sentencing Wen for theWickedevent, Judge Christopher Goh mentioned his previous habits, keeping in mind that he had yet to deal with any effects. “Perhaps you believed the very same would take place here, however Mr. Wen, you are incorrect,” Goh stated. “You need to be conscious that there are constantly repercussions for one’s actions.”
Including that he thought Wen’s actions were premeditated, Goh stated, “You appear to be attention-seeking, believing just of yourself, and not the security of others, when devoting these acts.”
At the Nov. 13Wicked: For Goodbest, Wen was recorded on video leaping the security barriers while Grande and her co-stars were strolling the carpet. He appeared to strongly get Grande and pull her into a welcome. Cynthia Erivo might be seen pushing Wen far from Grande and examining that she wasn’t harmed.
Security got Wen and eliminated him from the scene, however he apparently returned and attempted to leap over the barrier once again. This time, however, security had the ability to stop him.
In a video published on his social networks page later on, Wen composed, “Dear Ariana Grande Thank You for letting me Jump on the Yellow Carpet with You.”
Wen was ultimately apprehended and charged on Nov. 14, and he’s remained in custody since. Throughout his court hearing, district attorneys identified Wen a “serial trespasser” and asked the judge to by far a week-long prison sentence.
At one point, Judge Goh asked Wen if he wished to speak, to which he responded: “I will not do it once again, Your Honor.” When Goh asked Wen if he was simply “paying lip service,” or if he in fact planned to stop, Wen stated, “Yes, I am going to stop.”
Throughout a currentWickedoccasion in Los Angeles, Erivo resolved the occurrence while discussing what the movies suggest for both fans, in addition to for the 2 lead starlets. “We have actually come through some shit,” she stated. “We have actually come through some things in our lives, in our everyday operations. I imply, fuck, even this recently. Let’s be truthful, for fuck’s sakes, we’ve needed to actually handle some things, and this motion picture has actually enabled us to actually grow as individuals, as buddies, as sis, as artists, as starlets.”
