TikTok star Hareem Shah – who drew widespread public backlash for filming inside the Foreign Office – revealed she was verbally abused and sexually harassed by “hundreds of Pakistani men” at a store opening in Dubai’s Oasis Mall where she was invited as a guest.
“Hundreds of Pakistani men hurled abuses, pushed and some even kicked me,” she wrote on Twitter along with a video posted earlier this week. “Is this how you treat your women??”

According to Gulf News, Oasis Mall management has not responded to the incident.
A series of videos – appearing to be from the same event – posted by other TikTok users confirmed her claims, showing Hareem and her friend Sandal Khattak visibly fearful, distressed and begging for some personal space to move forward and away from the mobbing crowd of male fans.

Earlier this month, Hareem shared a similar video in which she can be seen at a different public event and dozens of men are standing far too close and touching her inappropriately.

Though Hareem is visibly uncomfortable here, she is polite and firm with the fans taking photos and filming with her.
