red-carpet ambush brought back painful memories of the Manchester bombing.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The singer, who has spent years trying to manage her trauma, is now facing new fears after a known stalker jumped a barricade and grabbed her during the \u201cWicked: For Good\u201d premiere in Singapore.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The shocking incident not only frightened fans but reportedly triggered Grande\u2019s PTSD, raising fresh concerns about her safety while she promotes her upcoming film.<\/p>\n<p>Ariana Grande Ambushed On Red Carpet In Disturbing Stalker Attack<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Grande was left shaken after a frightening ambush at the Singapore premiere of \u201cWicked: For Good,\u201d where a man suddenly jumped a barrier and grabbed her while she was walking the red carpet.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Reports say the songstress\u2019s co-star, Cynthia Erivo, and several bodyguards had to react immediately, stepping between the man and the singer to pull him away.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Although no one was physically injured, the incident caused serious alarm because it was later revealed that this was not the act of an overly excited fan.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">According to reports, the man responsible for the attack was Johnson Wen, a repeat offender who has a troubling history of targeting celebrities.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">He calls himself \u201cPyjama Man\u201d online and has previously tried to reach stars like Katy Perry, The Weeknd, and The Chainsmokers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Before and after ambushing the \u201cBang Bang\u201d hitmaker, he reportedly posted videos laughing and talking about his plan to \u201cmeet\u201d her, even writing in his Instagram bio that \u201cAriana Grande is the Queen.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">In one of his disturbing clips, he declared he had been \u201cdreaming about\u201d the moment, while in another, he proudly posted, \u201cDear Ariana Grande, Thank You for letting me jump on the Yellow Carpet with you.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Security eventually removed him, but fans were horrified that he was able to get so close to the 32-year-old superstar in the first place.<\/p>\n<p>Grande\u2019s PTSD Reportedly

Mail;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Daily Mail<\/a>, the attack was more than a simple security breach, but it deeply affected Ariana Grande\u2019s mental state.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The source explained that the \u201cGod Is a Woman\u201d crooner has never fully recovered from the Manchester Arena bombing in 2017, an attack that killed 22 people and injured over 1,000 during her concert.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The traumatic event left her with long-term PTSD, and sudden confrontations still trigger an immediate fear response.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The insider said the red-carpet ambush caused Grande\u2019s mind to \u201cjump to the darkest possibilities,\u201d because incidents like this bring back the terror she felt years ago.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Another source added that the actress \u201ctries to avoid being in predicaments where she feels threatened or in harm\u2019s way,\u201d knowing her mental health spirals when she feels trapped or unsafe.<\/p>\n<p>Ariana Grande\u2019s Team Ramps Up Security After Scary Incident<img alt=\"Ariana Grande at 82nd Annual Golden Globe Awards\" loading=\"lazy\" width=\"960\" height=\"640\" decoding=\"async\" data-nimg=\"1\" class=\"rounded-lg\"

class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Following the ambush, sources say Grande\u2019s team is now reviewing her entire security strategy.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Her security has already been tight since Manchester, but this incident showed how vulnerable she still is in public spaces, especially while promoting a major film like \u201cWicked: For Good.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">What caught many people\u2019s attention was the fact that Cynthia Erivo, another high-profile individual, was the first to step in before security reached Grande.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">This led some insiders to question whether her team had been caught off guard.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">With the Hollywood star expected to travel more for press events in the coming weeks, insiders say her team is taking immediate steps to increase bodyguard presence, limit direct fan access, and strengthen perimeter security at all appearances.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The goal, according to one source, is to help Grande \u201cput this in the back of her mind\u201d as quickly as possible so she can continue working without fear.<\/p>\n<p>Grande\u2019s Past Trauma Makes New Scare Even Harder To Handle<img alt=\"Ariana Grande

break-words\">Those close to Ariana Grande say the timing of the red-carpet attack created an emotional setback.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">They explained that the Grammy Award winner has worked hard for years to heal from the Manchester bombing, but sudden, aggressive encounters still cause emotional flashbacks.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">One insider said Grande \u201chas never been the same since\u201d that night and often feels anxious in crowded or unpredictable settings.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">She reportedly believes that if someone was willing to attack an entire arena filled with children and families, then \u201cthey\u2019re capable of doing anything.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Because of this, she remains cautious during tours, public events, and fan interactions.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">Grande still deals with moments where fear overwhelms her, and sources say the recent ambush caused that same familiar panic to return.<\/p>\n<p>Ariana Grande Opens Up About Her Trauma<img alt=\"Ariana

But, yeah, it\u2019s a real thing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-4 text-lg md:leading-8 break-words\">The \u201cSam and Cat\u201d actress also expressed guilt, noting, \u201cIt\u2019s not my trauma.
