Wicked stars labels Aussie ‘fan’ a ‘loser’ over stunt
Johnson Wen聽caused international headlines this week when he interrupted the Wicked: For Good premiere in Singapore.
Wen, who is known for a series of similar pranks online was in attendance at the premiere when he filmed himself making an attempt at “meeting” Ariana Grande.
However rather than waiting his turn Wen pushed past security and rushed at Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo, attempting to put his arms around Grande.
Videos of the incident show a shocked Erivo attempt to intervene and protect Grande who was visibly shocked as she attempted to hide from the unexpected interruption.
Wen was quickly apprehended by security and forced to the ground, he was later arrested by Singapore police and charged with public nusicance for his actions. However despite this he took to social media to brag about getting to “meet” Ariana Grande.
After being tackled by security Johnson Wen tried to go after Ariana AGAIN! He spent awhile planning today鈥檚 attack, when will he be banned? And that laugh? 馃槺 #a
Following the international backlash, which also included some people trying to defend Wen and his actions Marissa Bode聽spoke out online calling Wen a “loser.”
Bode was not tolerating any defence of Wen and his actions retaliating to those defending him as an excited “fan.”
鈥溾�楤ut they鈥檙e a fan!鈥� Okay. Then they鈥檙e a fan and a loser,鈥� she said on TikTok.
鈥淭his is what I mean when I say social media brings out the worst in people,鈥� she said.
鈥淥h, did you get your views? Did you get your likes? Guess what you also did? You made somebody feel incredibly unsafe, but just 鈥� no remorse. That goes over your head. You鈥檙e a bad person.鈥�
In her video she said that she doesn’t believe 鈥渨omen, or really anybody, should be expected to move with grace or respond with kindness when they鈥檝e been violated in that way, and to expect that makes you a weirdo also.鈥�
鈥淭he thing is, most of the time women within the public eye do respond with kindness because they know what the result is going to be if they don鈥檛,鈥� she continued.
鈥淭hese are people, they are not products, they do not owe you their entire personhood. And to be frank, if you don鈥檛 agree with that, you are not a fan,鈥� before saying that people like this “desperately needs to be brought back down to Earth.鈥�
Bode’s defence comes amid multiple reports that Grande was deeply shaken by the incident.
It was only eight years ago that an Ariana Grande concert was the target of a terrorist attack when a bomb was set off during her May 2017 concert in Manchester, UK.
This is about the experiences of most women in Hollywood btw. Olivia Rodrigo really ate when she said 鈥渁ll the time. I鈥檓 grateful all the time鈥� because that鈥檚 what some of yall are constantly expecting. WIERDOS
Wicked: For Good is set for an Australian release on November 20.
