An Australian man who vaulted across a fence and reached for actress Ariana Grande has been expelled and barred from Singapore.
The man, aged 26, was handed a penalty to nine days in prison for disrupting public order and has now been "barred from re-entering Singapore," the Immigration and Checkpoints Authority stated to local media.
The man shoved through camera crews and charged at the actress and singer, who was attending the Asian debut for the film on November 13. Co-star Cynthia Erivo wrestled him away from Grande.
The individual has a record of interrupting performances and celebrity events, including rushing the stage at a Katy Perry performance in Sydney in the past June.
The occurrence provoked strong reactions in Singapore, with numerous people claiming he of triggering past trauma for the singer.
The singer has mentioned experiencing post-traumatic stress disorder after a suicide bomb attack at her show in Manchester in several years ago took the lives of 22 people and affected hundreds.
Throughout the court proceedings, the court heard he had attempted to intrude on the film's premiere multiple times, according to regional reports.
He then made a another effort to jump the barricades. Protection personnel prevented him and pinned him down.
Wen later posted videos appreciating the celebrity for allowing his presence and said he was "free."
Police detained him the following day and brought charges against him with public nuisance, to which he confessed.
The Presiding Judge Christopher Goh was cited by Channel News Asia as stating that Wen was "attention seeking", noting that he was incorrect to think he would not experience repercussions.
Grande has not commented on the incident.
Cynthia Erivo mentioned the event to the press, stating that she "only aimed to ensure my co-star was safe."
"I'm sure he didn't mean us danger, but you can't predict with those things, and I sought to ensure that she was fine. That was my immediate response," she stated.
