- Johnson Wen, also known as "Pyjama Man," was captured on video being escorted away from Lady Gaga's *Mayhem* album tour in Australia.

- Wen was previously arrested for rushing Ariana Grande at the *Wicked: For Good* premiere in Singapore.

- Wen, who is Australian, was later deported and banned from Singapore over the incident.

A notorious stage-crashing social media user who was previously arrested and deported from Singapore after rushing Ariana Grande at the *Wicked: For Good* premiere was captured on camera being kicked out of an Australian tour stop on Lady Gaga's recent *Mayhem* album tour.

Roughly one month after Johnson Wen, known as "Pyjama Man" on social media, breached a barrier and grabbed Grande (Gaga's "Rain on Me" duet partner) at the *Wicked: For Good* premiere in Singapore, fans filmed as Wen was escorted out of Brisbane, Australia's Lang Park stadium venue, where Gaga performed on Tuesday night.

"There he is! That's the guy that tackled Ariana," one fan can be heard saying in a video shared to Instagram, which shows Wen being escorted off the venue's ground level while fans cheer his exit.**

Another, captioned by a fan with the words, "Y'ALL THEY GOT HIM!" shows a group of security team members talking with Wen before leading him out of the area.

"Take the wig off! Take the wig off!" one fan shouts in the clip, amid unconfirmed reports that Wen entered the venue while wearing a light disguise — and fans reporting that they saw security holding sheets of paper with Wen's face on it to help team members identify and keep him from entering the venue.

"Yeah, they took his wristband off!" another attendee shouts in the clip, before several start yelling, "F--- you!"

** has reached out to representatives for Gaga and to the Lang Park venue for additional comment.

After Wen broke through a fan containment area and rushed toward Grande, Cynthia Erivo, and Michelle Yeoh at Universal Studios Singapore, where the premiere was held in November, he was reportedly arrested and "barred from re-entering Singapore," per multiple news sources at the time, including CBS and BBC News.

Erivo spoke about the incident later at a special Screen Actors Guild screening held at the Television Academy in Los Angeles, which EW attended.

"And we have come through some shit. We have come through some stuff in our lives, in our daily workings," Erivo told the audience. "I mean, f---, even this last week. Let's be honest, for f---'s sakes, we've had to really deal with some stuff, and this movie has allowed us to really grow as people, as friends, as sisters, as artists, as actresses."

Wen has been widely criticized on social media for his mid-event antics at celebrity performances. The self-described "troll most hated" online has shared videos of himself in the past rushing the stages of Katy Perry, the Weeknd, and the Chainsmokers.

He also previously shared videos of himself running onto the field at various sporting events, including the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup final match.

Gaga is currently touring with the Mayhem Ball concert performance, in support of *Mayhem*, her seventh solo pop album that recently scored eight Grammy nominations — including for Album of the Year.
