A 30-year-old man has been charged in court for grabbing American pop star Ariana Grande on stage during a concert in Singapore. The incident took place on September 4th at the Indoor Stadium, where the man reportedly evaded security and made physical contact with Grande before being restrained by security personnel.
The accused, identified as Tim Smith, has been charged with criminal trespass and intentional harassment. In a statement to the police, Smith claimed that he was a “dedicated fan” and wanted to get close to Grande to express his admiration for her. However, his actions have raised concerns about the safety and security of performers during public events.
Grande’s management team has expressed outrage over the incident, stating that such behavior is unacceptable and puts artists at risk. They have called for increased security measures to prevent similar incidents in the future.
Smith’s defense lawyer argued that his client’s actions were not malicious and that he did not intend to harm Grande. However, the prosecution has emphasized the need to deter such behavior and ensure the safety of performers.
The case is ongoing, and Smith is currently out on bail. He is due to appear in court for a further hearing next month to face the charges brought against him.
