The man who rushed Wicked star Ariana Grande during a movie premiere in Singapore has been sentenced to nine days' jail for causing public nuisance
According to CNA, Singapore District Judge Christopher Goh delivered the sentence on Monday, 17 November.
He told 26-year-old Australian Johnson Wen, better known online as 'Pyjama Man', that he was "attention-seeking" and mistaken if he believed he could avoid consequences for his actions in Singapore.
Wen pleaded guilty to one count of causing public annoyance
The court was told that Wen had arrived in Singapore on 11 November for a holiday and to attend the Wicked: For Good event on 13 November.
Before the event, he posted an Instagram Story referring to Grande as his "best friend" and that he had dreamt of meeting her.
After the incident, Wen continued posting on Instagram, sharing videos of the controversial incident himself and thanking Grande.
Although initially released, he was rearrested on 14 November after further investigations revealed a history of disrupting high-profile events, including concerts by Katy Perry, The Chainsmokers, and The Weeknd.
The videos of him rushing the celebrities remain on his social media account.
In court, Wen admitted he knew his actions would cause public annoyance
Deputy Public Prosecutor Jane Lim called for a jail sentence, noting that while Wen had no criminal record in Singapore, he was "by no means a first-time offender".
She described him as a "serial intruder" who showed a "glaring lack of remorse", and said a strong deterrent was needed to make clear that such conduct is criminal and will not be tolerated.
In mitigation, Wen told the court, "I won't do it again, Your Honour."
Judge Goh then asked, "Are you just paying lip service, or is this indeed your intention?"
Wen replied: "Yes, I'm going to stop, Your Honour… Been getting into trouble, Your Honour."
Judge Goh agreed with the prosecution that Wen's actions were premeditated, planned, and intended to draw attention, adding that he showed little remorse
He also noted that while no one was harmed, there was potential for things to escalate.
"It was fortunate that something bad did not occur," the judge said. "You seem to be attention-seeking, thinking only of yourself and not the safety of others when committing these acts."
Wen was sentenced to nine days in jail.
Under Singapore law, causing public nuisance carries a penalty of up to three months' jail, a fine of up to SGD2,000 (RM6,400), or both.
