The ‘attention seeking’ Australian influencer who rushed film star Ariana Grande at the Asian premiere of Wicked: For Good has been deported from Singapore, according to new reports.Â
Johnson Wen, 26, has been sent home to Australia, Singaporean news network CNA reported on Sunday.  Â
‘Johnson Wen was deported to Australia on Nov 23, 2025 and has been barred from re-entering Singapore,’ an ICA spokesman said, as per CNA.Â
Wen was jailed in Singapore for nine days after accosting American singer and actress Grande on the red carpet.
Grande and other celebrities were attending the opening night of the film at Universal Studios in Singapore on the evening of November 13 when Wen jumped the barricade and put his arm around the actress.
Footage, which has gone viral, shows the content creator, also known as Pyjama Man, lunging at Grande and putting his arm around her as she struggled to get away.

Grande was walking beside her co-star Cynthia Erivo, who bravely jumped in front of her when she saw the man running towards them.Â
Wen, who is infamous for crashing events where he accosts celebrities until security removes him, was arrested hours later on November 14 and charged with ‘being a public nuisance’.
Wen shared clips from the moment on his Instagram Story, writing: ‘Dear Ariana Grande Thank You for letting me Jump on the Yellow Carpet with You.’
Eerie videos taken before he jumped over a barricade to see Grande show him saying it was his ‘dream’ to meet the actress.
Standing underneath a poster of Grande in Wicked, Wen said: ‘I feel like I’m in a dream. That’s my best friend Ariana Grande and I’m going to meet her.’
‘I’ve been dreaming about that,’ he added before doing a theatrical laugh.
After his stunt, Wen later posted on his Instagram Stories again saying he was ‘free’ after Grande’s fans watched him get tackled to the ground by security.
‘This act was premeditated,’ Singapore District Judge Christopher Goh said, before handing Wen a nine-day sentence on November 17.Â
‘Johnson Wen was deported to Australia on Nov 23, 2025 and has been barred from re-entering Singapore,’ an ICA spokesman said, as per CNA
This is far below the maximum penalty afforded by law: three months in jail, a fine of $1,500, or both.
Dressed in a plain white shirt and appearing via videolink, Wen at first seemed confused when prosecutors read out the charge, but proceeded to enter a guilty plea.Â
Wen, who is alleged to have disrupted other global sports events and concerts, ‘showed a pattern of behaviour, which suggests that you will do it again,’ said the judge.
‘You seem to be attention seeking, thinking only of yourself and not the safety of others when committing these acts,’ added Goh.
He told Wen he was ‘wrong’ to think his actions would bear no consequences.
‘You should be mindful that there are always consequences for one’s actions.’
Asked if he had anything to say in mitigation of his sentence, Wen told the judge: ‘I won’t do it again, Your Honour. I am going to stop getting into trouble.’
Goh said the court needed to ‘send a signal to like-minded individuals… that we will not condone any act that potentially undermines the reputation of Singapore as a safe country’.
He was also pulled off-stage by security at The Chainsmokers’ Sydney concert in July. A month earlier, in June, he ambushed Katy Perry on a Sydney stage (pictured)Â
Already behind bars for four days at the time, Wen had another five to serve.
Wen is a frequent red carpet crasher and most recently crashed The Weeknd concert in Melbourne in August.
He was also pulled off-stage by security at The Chainsmokers’ Sydney concert in July. A month earlier, in June, he ambushed Katy Perry on a Sydney stage.
Wen doesn’t stop at music concerts or actors, as he has also been known to streak across stadiums during huge sporting events.
He delayed the 100m Olympic Final in Paris 2024 when he jumped the barricade, and disrupted the Cricket World Cup in 2023. Â
That same year, he attempted to streak across the field at the FIFA Women’s World Cup, but tripped over his own feet and was promptly escorted off.
Wen appears to take pride in gatecrashing events, calling himself an ‘invader’ online and ‘troll most hated’.
He shares videos and news clips of his stunts, as well as other videos of himself disrupting the peace while on trains or in shopping centres.
The streaker also has a GoFundMe account linked to his Instagram, where he begs his followers to ‘pay off all my bills’.
