According to Consequence, troll influencer Johnson Wen (aka Pyjama Man) managed to make his way into early VIP entry to Gaga’s concert at the Suncorp Stadium in Brisbane, Australia, last night (December 9).

Footage of security escorting Wen out of the venue was captured and later uploaded by hey.itsbass, who says in the clip: “That’s the guy who tackled Ariana.”

In a separate video on X/Twitter, another fan can be heard saying, “Get him the fuck out” as members of security speak to the influencer.

Wen, who is Australian, later wrote on Instagram Stories: “Got kicked out of Lady Gaga concert! The show doesn’t start till 8pm! The early fans were booing me.” He used a pair of laughing-face emojis in the post.

Wen was charged in a Singapore court for being a public nuisance last month. On November 13, he jumped the barricade at the Asia-Pacific premiere of Wicked: For Good at Universal Studios in Singapore. The influencer ran at Grande, wrapping his arms around her and jumping up and down.

Grande froze in shock while her co-star Cynthia Erivo immediately came to her assistance, pushing Wen away as security removed him from the red carpet.

He was subsequently sentenced to nine days in jail after pleading guilty to causing annoyance to the public by creating a commotion. Wen has also been banned from Singapore, per BBC News.

During court proceedings, Deputy Public Prosecutor Jane Lim had sought a week in jail, arguing Wen was a “serial intruder” who had a “glaring lack of remorse”. Wen said in mitigation: “I won’t do it again, your honour.”

The prosecution argued that he would need jail time. District Judge Christopher Goh said during sentencing that he had committed previous similar acts, and shown a lack of remorse after “brazenly” posting that he was “free” following his arrest.

He has previously rushed at artists, including Chainsmokers and Katy Perry at concerts in Sydney, and a Weeknd gig in Melbourne, as well as events at the 2024 Paris Olympics and 2023 Cricket World Cup.

The Australian leg of Lady Gaga’s ‘Mayhem Ball’ tour will conclude with two dates in Sydney this Friday and Saturday (December 12, 13).

NME gave Wicked: For Good a three-star review, saying that the film “doesn’t defy gravity like its predecessor but fans will want to hold space for a sequel with a very poignant payoff”.
