- Ariana Grande was attacked by a man at a premiere in Singapore, but remained unharmed.
- The perpetrator calls himself "Pyjama Man" online and had already disrupted several events.
- A judge sentenced him for disturbing public order.
The US actress and singer Ariana Grande (32) was attacked by a man at a premiere party in Singapore. US media posted videos of the incident, in which Grande escaped with a scare. A man in a white shirt and shorts can be seen running onto the yellow premiere carpet, rushing towards Grande, grabbing the star by the shoulders and putting an arm around her. The actress is visibly shocked.
Grande's "Wicked" colleague Cynthia Erivo reacts immediately and pushes the attacker aside. Security personnel then also intervened. Co-stars Michelle Yeoh, Jeff Goldblum and director Jon M. Chu were also present at the event.
According to "People.com" and "Variety", the attacker was quickly identified. He poses as a troll on his social media under the name "Pyjama Man". He posted a video of the incident on Instagram and wrote: "Dear Ariana Grande, thank you for letting me jump on the yellow carpet with you". The man has already attracted attention as a troublemaker at previous celebrity events.
No stranger
According to the Singaporean newspaper "Straits Times", the man is no stranger to trouble. He had already disrupted international events, including a concert by Katy Perry in Sydney and the 100-metre final at the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris.
Judge Christopher Goh emphasized that the accused had always got away scot-free so far - not this time. "You seem to be seeking attention and only think of yourself and not the safety of others when committing these acts," he emphasized. Disrupting public order in Singapore is punishable by up to three months in prison or a fine of the equivalent of around 1,350 euros - or both.
