Ariana Grande’s co-star Marissa Bode is sharing a popular opinion.
The actress, 25, got candid over people who invade celebrities’ personal space after Grande, 32, was charged at by a person at the “Wicked: For Good” premiere in Singapore on Thursday
Bode, who plays Nessarose Thropp in the “Wicked” films, took to TikTok that same day and clapped back at those who say the person who grabbed Grande was “a fan.”
“‘But they’re a fan!’ Okay. Then they’re a fan and a loser,” the star began in her video after social media users defended his actions.
Bode noted she has spoken out about “parasociality, especially at things like concerts or just when someone in the public eye is at an event, like people throwing s— on stage mid-performance” over the years.
The man who charged at Grande is Johnson Wen, known as “Pyjama Man” on social media. He shared a video of the incident on his own Instagram account that has 9,000 followers, writing, “@arianagrande @wickedmovie Dear Ariana Grande Thank You for letting me Jump on the Yellow Carpet with You ❤️.”
Following the incident, Wen posted a video of himself to his Instagram Story and said: “I’m free after being arrested.”
Wen was charged with being a public nuisance in Singapore on Friday, per the BBC.
“This is what I mean when I say social media brings out the worst in people,” Bode continued on TikTok. “Oh, did you get your views? Did you get your likes? Guess what you also did? You made somebody feel incredibly unsafe, but just — no remorse. That goes over your head. You’re a bad person.”
Bode also explained that she does not believe “women, or really anybody, should be expected to move with grace or respond with kindness when they’ve been violated in that way, and to expect that makes you a weirdo also.”
“The 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’t,” she went on.
In a follow-up TikTok video Bode said that her earlier remarks were not “just about what happened in Singapore, it’s also about women in this industry in general.”
She expressed how public figures, such as singer Chappell Roan and actress Rachel Zegler, have been criticized “for just having an opinion on something.”
“These are people, they are not products, they do not owe you their entire personhood. And to be frank, if you don’t agree with that, you are not a fan,” Bode detailed. “[You are] someone who’s entitled that desperately needs to be brought back down to Earth.”
Grande, meanwhile, has yet to publicly address the incident.
Instead, the Nickelodeon alum shared a series of photos from the Singapore premiere to Instagram on Friday, penning: “thank you, Singapore ♡ we love you 🫧.”
In multiple social media videos, Grande, who portrays Glinda in the “Wicked” films, can be seen walking the red carpet with co-stars Cynthia Erivo, Michelle Yeoh and Jeff Goldblum, as a man sprints towards them and wraps his arms around Grande.
The “7 Rings” hitmaker is seen trying to get away from the crazed person, who smiled and cheered as he grabbed a hold of Grande.
Erivo, 38, immediately jumped in between Grande and the man to separate them. Security intervened and pulled him away from Grande. Yeoh, 63, was also recorded comforting the pop star as she looked visibly shaken up.
Wen is no stranger to pulling stunts like this. He has previously rushed the stage at Katy Perry and The Weeknd’s concerts. He was arrested for the incident at Perry’s show in Australia in June.
Fans blasted Wen for his disrespectful behavior in the comments section.
“You literally assaulted her. this isn’t a flex, it’s a crime. shame on you!” one person wrote while a second chimed in, “Are you happy now? Does it bring you joy to disturb celebrities? That’s sad.”
“After all the trauma Ari has been through, this is beyond disrespectful,” another follower said.
In 2017, there was a bombing at Grande’s concert in Manchester, England, that left 22 people dead and over 1,000 others injured. Grande has since dealt with PTSD following the attack.
“It’s hard to talk about because so many people have suffered such severe, tremendous loss,” she told Vogue UK in July 2018.
“But, yeah, it’s a real thing. I know those families and my fans, and everyone there experienced a tremendous amount of it as well. Time is the biggest thing. I feel like I shouldn’t even be talking about my own experience — like I shouldn’t even say anything.”
“I don’t think I’ll ever know how to talk about it and not cry,” added Grande.
