Passionate supporters of the actress are calling for that a individual who jumped a barrier and touched the actress during the recent Wicked: For Good launch be detained or deported from Singapore.

A circulating video reveals the Australian man pushing past photographers and charging at Grande while the performers made its way down a promenade accompanied by supporters.

Cast member Cynthia Erivo immediately guided the surprised actress away from Mr Wen, who was spotted being escorted out of the premiere by event staff.

Mr Wen posted on Instagram recently that he was "let go after being detained", though court documents showed that he was scheduled to be present on the following morning. It is not clear if he was formally accused.

Record of Event Invasions

His Instagram account contains clips of him interrupting other high-profile occasions, including breaching the performance area at the artist's Sydney performance in June this year and in a like fashion during The Chainsmokers performance in the same location last year.

"Measures must be taken enforced against him as this is evidently a criminal offence," wrote an Instagram commenter, in a reply to a video Mr Wen shared of his actions.

"You've done this repeatedly... how are you not behind bars?" one Instagram user wrote.

Followers Express Concern Over the Star's Safety

Many supporters criticized Mr Wen for "causing further distress" Grande, who had spoken of suffering from trauma-related anxiety after a devastating incident at the conclusion of her spring 2017 performance in Manchester, claiming the lives of 22 people and injuring many.

"After everything she's faced... including the Manchester attack, you considered it entertaining to rush the barrier?" wrote one more message on Instagram.

Some attendees also criticised guards at the premiere for not being sufficiently alert; while different individuals requested online networks to remove Mr Wen's videos.

Reaction and Event Details
