Imagine being so obsessed with a pop icon that you risk jail time and public humiliation just to get close to her. That's exactly what happened to Johnson Wen, an Australian man notorious for rushing Ariana Grande at the Singapore premiere of *Wicked: For Good*. After his nine-day jail sentence and being banned from Singapore, Wen's antics have caught up with him again—in a surprising twist, he was recently escorted out of a Lady Gaga concert in Australia. Wen's pattern of behavior has made headlines worldwide. At the *Wicked: For Good* premiere, he jumped over barricades and grabbed Ariana Grande, only to be swiftly intervened by her co-star Cynthia Erivo and security personnel. Despite the incident making the news and the court sentencing Wen for being a public nuisance, it seems his obsession hasn't waned. According to reports, he tried to maintain a low profile by wearing a wig and mustache at Lady Gaga's Brisbane concert but was recognized and promptly removed by security teams after fans alerted staff about his presence. Footage even surfaced showing a man resembling Wen being escorted from the floor-seating area, with fans booing him as he left. This sequence of events reveals how seriously venues now take fan safety and artist protection, especially with known disruptive individuals. Wen's previous attempts to breach security have involved other celebrities like The Weeknd and Katy Perry, underlining the ongoing challenges of managing superfan behavior in live entertainment settings. What do you think about the measures taken by security to keep artists safe without alienating genuine fans? Have you witnessed or heard of similar incidents at concerts or events?
