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.

The insider claimed to the outlet, “Ariana has been trying to soothe herself because her mind automatically jumps to the darkest possibilities.”

The source added she 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.

At the “Wicked: For Good” premiere on Thursday in Singapore, the crazed fan climbed over the blockade and threw his arm around Grande’s shoulders.

Her co-star Cynthia Erivo rushed to get the crazed fan off the singer, as security then apprehended the man.

The Singapore attacker is a repeat offender, who has targeted stars including Katy Perry and the Weeknd in the past.
