On November 13, 2025, Ariana Grande, 32, was left visibly shaken after an overzealous fan approached her and her Wicked co-stars Cynthia Erivo, 38, and Michelle Yeoh, 63, on the red carpet. The fan grabbed Grande and jumped up and down, prompting Erivo to immediately step in and yell "Get off her!" Erivo and Yeoh then held Grande's hands as they continued walking, seemingly checking if she was okay.
The incident occurred as the trio were traveling the world on the Wicked: For Good press tour. The highly anticipated film is set to be released on November 21, 2025. Grande and Erivo, who play the lead roles of Glinda and Elphaba, have been open about their close friendship, with Grande describing Erivo as "the greatest singer in the entire world" and Erivo praising Grande's vocal performances on set.
Despite the unsettling encounter, the three actresses appeared to support each other through the ordeal, with Erivo and Yeoh comforting Grande. The trio has not yet publicly addressed the incident, but their strong bond and professionalism shone through as they continued their press duties.
