Cynthia Erivo Defends at ‘For Good’ Premiere

A recent incident at the Singapore red carpet premiere of the film “Wicked: For Good” involved a social media influencer rushing towards singer Ariana Grande, creating a chaotic scene. The influencer, known as Pyjamamann, even shared a post expressing gratitude for the encounter, stating, “Dear Ariana Grande Thank You for letting me Jump on the Yellow Carpet with You ❤.”

Cynthia Erivo Steps in to Defend Grande

Grande was startled when Pyjamamann jumped a barrier and approached her, arms open. Notably, Cynthia Erivo, Grande’s co-star in “Wicked: For Good,” quickly intervened, pushing the fan away to protect Grande. After the incident, Michelle Yeoh, another co-star, helped comfort Grande.

Past Incidents and Context

This was not Pyjamamann’s first controversial moment. The influencer reportedly performed a similar stunt at a Katy Perry concert in Sydney, Australia, during Perry’s Lifetimes Tour in June.
