In several videos recorded from different angles, Grande is seen walking with other cast members on a yellow tile carpet specially prepared for the occasion, when a man wearing a white shirt and pants runs towards her, grabs her with both arms and forces her body against him.

Wen is known in his country for sneaking into celebrity events and sharing content on his network to gather likes and raise his profile.

“Yes, this is true. I know the family and the fans, and everyone who was there experienced it intensely as well,” Grande told British Vogue in 2018. “So many people have suffered terrible losses that it’s hard to talk about it…I feel like I shouldn’t even talk about my experience. I don’t think I’ll ever be able to talk about this without crying,” she added.
In the same interview, the artist explained that the attack and its effects caused anxiety, saying, “I think a lot of people suffer from anxiety, especially in these times. I’ve always struggled with anxiety, but I never talked about it, just because I thought everyone had anxiety… But when I got home from tour[in September 2017]it was the most severe crisis I’ve ever had.”
