Ariana Grande allegedly felt triggered when she was attacked in Singapore this week — eight years after the tragic bombing that occurred at her Manchester concert.
The crazed fan, who has been identified as 26-year-old Johnson Wen, was arrested on charges of being a public nuisance after rushing at the actress on the red carpet at the “Wicked: For Good” premiere.
Wen has since been released and is expected back in court on Monday, CBS News reported.
The attack has triggered Grande’s PTSD, according to Daily Mail, from the 2017 terrorist bombing at her Manchester concert that left 22 fans dead and over 1,000 injured.
“Ariana has been trying to soothe herself because her mind automatically jumps to the darkest possibilities,” an insider claimed to the outlet.
The source added that Grande has “never been the same” since the attack.
“When someone suddenly approaches or charges at her, it triggers her… almost like PTSD, as her mind immediately goes to the worst-case scenario,” the insider continued.
The source claimed the “7 Rings” singer “still has panic attacks” over the terrorist attack and “wanted to quit everything and become a hermit.”
The insider continued she “was a victim too” and deals with the aftermath “every single day.”
“If someone was willing to attack an entire arena she was in, then they’re capable of doing anything,” the source said.
Security will reportedly be increased as Grande is “taking the precautions needed… because the quicker she can put this in the back of her mind, the better.”
Reps for Grande did not immediately respond to Page Six’s request for comment.
