American Dream Mall Salish Pop-Up Event Plagued by Disorganization and Safety Concerns

Chaos Erupts at Salish Pop-Up Event in American Dream Mall EAST RUTHERFORD, NJ – A highly anticipated pop-up event featuring social media personality Salish at the American Dream Mall on September 6, 2025, descended into disarray, leaving thousands of fans disappointed and raising significant safety concerns. Attendees described the event as "completely unorganized" and "unsafe," with reports of overcrowding and inadequate management. According to multiple accounts from frustrated attendees, the event, which required tickets, quickly became chaotic as "double the crowd showed up" than anticipated. "The tickets were pointless," stated one attendee, "completely unorganized, unsafe and the workers told us she wouldn’t be coming out at the pop up because double the crowd showed up." Eyewitnesses recounted a scene of confusion and danger. "This was absolutely Terrible! Adults trampling and yelling at kids. So disorganized. Lines for NOTHING. Terrible!" one comment read, echoing widespread sentiment. Another participant shared, "I was there but only for like an hour and I was getting pushed and kicked." Concerns escalated to the point where, as one commenter noted, "the police told Salish it wasn't safe for her to be out." There were also reports of people needing "medical attention cuz they have done absolutely no measures on how many people are allowed to get in while remaining safe." Many expressed dismay over the lack of access to Salish despite purchasing tickets. "I don’t understand why there were tickets. We didn’t see her at all," a fan lamented. Merchandise, such as hoodies, reportedly sold out quickly, adding to the frustration. "It was terrible!!! I couldn’t even buy a hoodie for my daughter because they only had 5,000 smh they ran out!" The event has drawn criticism for its planning and execution, with many comparing it unfavorably to other celebrity meet-and-greets. The American Dream Mall and event organizers have yet to issue a public statement regarding the incident.
