The Australian influencer known as “Pyjama Man,” Johnson Wen, has once again found himself at the center of controversy. After being deported from Singapore for accosting Ariana Grande at the Asian premiere of “Wicked: For Good,” Wen was removed from Lady Gaga’s concert in Brisbane. The incident occurred at the Mayhem Ball tour concert at Suncorp Stadium, where Wen was escorted out by security, much to the mixed reactions of the crowd.
Wen shared his experience on Instagram, posting a selfie with the caption, “Got kicked out of the Lady Gaga concert!” He added, “The show doesn’t start until 8pm. The early fans were booing me.” Footage shared on TikTok showed Wen being led out of the venue, with some attendees booing and others cheering.
The Singapore Incident
Wen’s recent ejection from the concert follows his deportation from Singapore, where he was jailed for nine days after a high-profile incident involving Ariana Grande. During the premiere of “Wicked: For Good” at Universal Studios Singapore, Wen breached security to approach Grande, wrapping his arm around her as she walked the red carpet with co-star Cynthia Erivo. The footage of this incident went viral, drawing widespread criticism.
Singapore’s Immigration and Checkpoints Authority (ICA) confirmed Wen’s deportation, stating, “Johnson Wen was deported to Australia on Nov 23, 2025, and has been barred from re-entering Singapore.” In court, Singapore District Judge Christopher Goh sentenced Wen to nine days in jail, emphasizing the need to deter similar behavior in the future.
“This act was premeditated,” Judge Goh remarked, highlighting Wen’s pattern of attention-seeking behavior.
A Pattern of Disruption
Wen’s notoriety extends beyond his recent antics. He has a history of crashing events and disrupting high-profile gatherings. In August, he interrupted The Weeknd’s concert in Melbourne, and in July, he was removed from the stage at The Chainsmokers’ concert in Sydney. His disruptive streak continued in June when he ambushed Katy Perry during a performance in Sydney.
Wen’s behavior is not limited to music events. He has also made headlines for streaking at major sporting events, including the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, where he delayed the 100m final, and the 2023 Cricket World Cup. His attempt to streak at the FIFA Women’s World Cup ended in embarrassment when he tripped and was quickly apprehended.
Public Reaction and Future Implications
Wen’s actions have sparked a mix of amusement and condemnation. While some view him as an attention-seeking disruptor, others see his stunts as a dangerous trend that undermines the safety and enjoyment of public events. Experts warn that such behavior could lead to stricter security measures at events worldwide.
“You seem to be attention seeking, thinking only of yourself and not the safety of others when committing these acts,” Judge Goh told Wen during his sentencing.
Despite his promises to cease his disruptive behavior, Wen’s track record suggests otherwise. His online persona, where he refers to himself as an “invader” and “most hated troll,” indicates a level of pride in his actions. He continues to share videos of his stunts on social media, even soliciting donations through a GoFundMe account to cover his expenses.
The incidents involving Wen highlight the challenges faced by event organizers in maintaining security and ensuring the safety of attendees and performers. As authorities and venues grapple with how to handle such disruptions, Wen’s antics serve as a cautionary tale of the consequences of seeking fame through infamy.
As Wen returns to Australia, the question remains whether he will heed the warnings of legal authorities or continue his pattern of disruptive behavior. For now, his actions serve as a reminder of the fine line between public spectacle and public safety.
