Singapore ki adalat ne ek Australian mard, Johnson Wen (26), ko 9 din jail ki saza sunai hai. Ye saza us par is liye di gayi ke usne pop star Ariana Grande ko Singapore mein film “Wicked: For Good” ke Asian premiere ke doran rush kiya aur unke paas physically interfere kiya. Incident 13 November ko Universal Studios Singapore mein hua, jab Grande aur unke co-stars yellow carpet par chal rahe the. Court papers ke mutabiq, Wen ne barricade cross kiya aur Grande ke arm ke aas paas haath rakh kar crowd ki taraf smile karte hue jump kiya. Video clips viral ho gayi, jin mein Grande aur unke co-star Cynthia Erivo ne usse rokne ki koshish ki, aur security guards ne usse barricade ke peeche wapas le gaya.
Wen ko arrest kar ke “public nuisance” ke charge mein charge sheet di gayi. Singapore District Judge Christopher Goh ne kaha ke “ye act pehle se plan kiya gaya tha” aur usko 9 din ki jail di gayi, jo maximum 3 mahine ki saza aur $1,500 fine ke comparison mein kam hai. Court ne ye bhi note kiya ke Wen ka ye behaviour serial hai, kyun ke usne pehle bhi global sports events aur concerts mein disturb kiya. Judge ne warning di ke aise acts khud ke liye attention seeking hain aur doosron ki safety ko nazar andaz karte hain.
Wen ne guilty plea di aur court ko kaha ke “main dobara aisa nahi karunga aur trouble se door rahunga.” Judge ne kaha ke ye signal hai ke Singapore mein safety aur law ko undermine karne wale acts tolerate nahi kiye jayenge. Wen already 4 din jail mein raha, aur ab usko baki 5 din serve karne hain. Incident ke bawajood premiere jaari rahi, aur cast ne Grande ke saath yellow carpet complete kiya.
Johnson Wen, jo social media par “Pyjama Man” aur “Most Hated troll” ke naam se jana jata hai, serial stage crasher hai. Usne pehle Katy Perry concert (Sydney), The Chainsmokers, The Weeknd concerts aur FIFA Women’s World Cup events mein bhi disrupt kiya. Social media users ne uske act ko criticize kiya aur kaha ke “Rushing a woman, especially someone who has survived trauma, is not a prank or stunt. Ye dangerous aur disrespectful hai.”
