Cynthia Erivo Speaks Out After Protecting Ariana Grande From Disturbing Fan Incident
Cynthia Erivo trusted her instincts and jumped into action to defend her co-star Ariana Grande last week, and now she’s opening up about the experience.
Last Thursday, during the premiere of “Wicked: For Good” in Singapore, a man jumped over a barrier to approach Grande. A video of the incident showed Erivo immediately turning toward the singer to protect her as she ran toward them.
“We’ve gotten through some tough things,” Erivo said during a screening of the film Saturday in Los Angeles.
“We have overcome some things in our lives, in our daily work… I mean, fuck, even this last week,” he continued, in apparent reference to Thursday’s incident. “Let’s be honest, fuck; “We’ve really had to deal with some things.”

As an emotional Grande sat next to her on stage at the Los Angeles screening, Erivo described the camaraderie she and her co-star have developed.
“This film has allowed us to really grow as people, as friends, as sisters, as artists and as actresses,” Erivo explained.
Marissa Bode, who plays Nessarose Thropp in the film, addressed a fan’s terrifying incident in a series of TikTok videos posted on Friday.

“Did you get your views? Did you get your likes?” Bode asked the fan, who apparently has a history of disrupting public events. “Guess what you did too? You made someone feel incredibly insecure.”
“I don’t think women, or anyone, should be expected to move with grace or respond with kindness when they’ve been violated like that, and expecting that makes you a weirdo too,” she continued.
