Man Who Charged at Ariana Grande on ‘Wicked’ Red Carpet Kicked Out of Lady Gaga Concert in Australia

Johnson Wen, known as 'Pyjama Man,' was barred from Lady Gaga's Australian tour after assaulting Ariana Grande in Singapore and multiple prior disruptions, officials said.

  • On Tuesday, Dec. 9, videos showed Johnson Wen being identified at Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane and escorted out ahead of Lady Gaga's Mayhem Ball tour stop, with reports he is barred from the tour.
  • On Nov. 13, Wen rushed the yellow carpet and put his arm around Ariana Grande at the Wicked: For Good premiere, pled guilty to public nuisance, was jailed nine days on Nov. 17, and deported, with Judge Christopher Goh noting similar past behavior.
  • Fans posted videos showing Johnson Wen near the venue before the Brisbane show, a security guard held a photo of Wen, and Wen posted `Got kicked out of Lady Gaga concert!` on Instagram.
  • Lady Gaga's security team directed venues to refuse entry to Johnson Wen, while Australian MAYHEM Ball venues enforce strict bans on gifts, flowers, stuffed toys, signs, banners and flags.
  • Given his past disruptions, performers and venues have tightened safety responses after Cynthia Erivo intervened at the Singapore premiere, saying `I was really thinking, I just wanted to make sure my friend was safe`.
