Supporters Demand Detainment of Individual Who Grabbed Ariana Grande
Passionate fans of the actress are demanding that a man who breached a barrier and touched the actress during the recent Wicked: For Good debut be taken into custody or deported from Singapore.
A circulating clip reveals the individual from Australia pushing past photographers and rushing toward Grande while the performers proceeded down a promenade flanked by fans.
Fellow actress Cynthia Erivo promptly wrested the shocked actress away from Mr Wen, who was seen being led away of the gathering by security officers.
Mr Wen posted on Instagram recently that he was "let go after being taken in", though official papers showed that he was scheduled to attend court on the next day. It is unknown if he was faced legal action.
Record of Disruptions

His Instagram account features videos of him disturbing other high-profile occasions, including jumping on stage at Katy Perry's Sydney concert in recently and in a similar way during The Chainsmokers event in the area last December.
"Measures must be taken enforced against him as this is evidently a legal violation," commented an Instagram commenter, in a reply to a video Mr Wen uploaded of his behavior.
"Oh wow so you do this a lot... how aren't you in jail?" a different Instagram user wrote.
Supporters Voice Worry Over Ariana's Past Trauma

"After everything she's faced... including the Manchester attack, you considered it entertaining to rush the barrier?" wrote one more message on Instagram.
Some supporters also criticised guards at the gathering for not being sufficiently alert; while some requested digital services to ban Mr Wen's content.
