Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo at the Wicked For Good premiere in Singapore last week Suhaimi Abdullah via Getty ImagesCynthia Erivo has opened up about stepping in to protect Ariana Grande during a worrying moment on the red carpet. The pair recently attended the Wicked For Good premiere in Singapore, and were walking the “yellow carpet” to promote the new movie musical when a man leapt over the barrier and grabbed Ariana, jumping up and down. “I wasn’t really thinking, I just wanted to make sure my friend was safe,” the Oscar nominee said. He has since been handed a short prison sentence for the incident because of his history of similar disruptions. Cynthia and Ariana’s bond has been a much-loved aspect of the Wicked films.
