Passionate supporters of the actress are calling for that a individual who jumped a barricade and grabbed the actress during yesterday's Wicked: For Good launch be arrested or removed from Singapore.

"Steps should be implemented enforced against him as this is evidently a criminal offence," commented an Instagram follower, in a response to a video Mr Wen shared of his actions.

"This appears to be a habit... why are you not imprisoned?" another Instagram user wrote.

Supporters Express Concern Over Grande's Past Trauma

Numerous followers blamed Mr Wen for "causing further distress" Grande, who had spoken of experiencing trauma-related anxiety after a suicide bomb attack at the end of her May 2017 concert in Manchester, claiming the lives of 22 people and wounding hundreds.

"The star has endured numerous terrifying experiences... including the Manchester tragedy, and you believed breaching security was amusing?" commented a further comment on Instagram.

Several fans also questioned security officers at the premiere for not being sufficiently alert; while others called for online networks to ban Mr Wen's content.

Aftermath and Premiere Information

In clips circulating online, Grande seemed surprised when she was grabbed by the man. Her fellow actors Michelle Yeoh and Erivo can be spotted comforting her while Mr Wen was removed by security.

Grande has not commented on the situation, and the rest of the event carried on uninterrupted.
