The 'Candace Cameron Mall Riot' took place at a 1992 meet and greet at the MicMac Mall in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia.

Resurfaced archival footage of actress Candace Cameron Bure devastating her young fans after she bailed on an event at the MicMac Mall in Dartmouth, Nova Scotia has gone viral after it was shared by Canadian reporter Nick Moore, who has been posting clips from CTV's 50th-anniversary segments in a TikTok series.

"The Candace Cameron Mall Riot of 1992"—as Moore referred to it—featured fans of the actress, who was a teenager starring on Full House at the time, bursting into tears after Cameron Bure told them she needed to leave and had a flight to catch before she was ushered out by security.


While Full House was never a critical darling, it was nonetheless one of the biggest shows of its day, consistently in the Nielson Top 30, and has gained even more fans in syndicated reruns.

So the disappointment of these fans and their frustrated parents is palpable—one father told the news network, then known as ATV, that he and his child had waited for six hours to meet Cameron Bure just before her exit—and attendance at the "madhouse" event was so great that mall security had to call for backup to contain it.

You can see footage of the 1992 "mall riot" in the video below.

Here’s one of ATV’s most infamous reports… It was 1992 and ATV was airing Full House reruns six nights a week, plus new episodes every Tuesday night. It was often the highest rated non-news show in the region each night. Here’s proof: #50DaysOfATV #Maritimes #AtlanticCanada #NovaScotia #Dartmouth #Halifax #NewBrunswick #PrinceEdwardIsland #NewfoundlandAndLabrador

The clip Moore shared contains interviews with the devastated children and their parents in addition to footage of a then-teenaged Cameron Bure telling the crowd she had to leave.

One young girl told ATV News at the time she had arrived at "10:30 and I never got to see her and I'm so mad." Other fans complained about pushing and shoving in the long line to meet the actor and parents expressed concerns about their children's safety, so great was the response to the canceled event.

TikTok users were fascinated by the footage and couldn't help but share their thoughts.

Cameron Bure—who made a name for herself post-Full House as the star of more than two dozen Hallmark Channel original productions—is an Evangelical Christian Republican who has courted controversy over the years for her conservative beliefs.

The sister of fellow Evangelist Kirk Cameron, Cameron Bure recently departed Hallmark citing concerns about a "change in leadership" shortly after the television network aired a holiday film featuring a same-sex couple as its primary focus, part of its inclusivity efforts to produce stories with racial diversity, interracial couples, BIPOC leads and LGBTQ+ characters.

Earlier this year, Cameron Bure announced she would be leaving Hallmark and taking an executive role at Great American Media, where she would produce and star in productions aimed at conservative audiences that will "promote faith programming and good family entertainment" and "keep traditional marriage at the core."

Bure didn't specify if it was only the LGBTQ+ representation or also the racial inclusivity she objected to—both part of the reason for the change in management she lamented.

Cameron Bure's remarks were later countered by Mean Girls actress Lacey Chabert, who applauded Hallmark's move, saying it is "embracing our creative ideas."

People Who Smashed Wedding Cake In Their Spouse's Face Reveal How Their Relationship Is Going Now

According to The Knot wedding resource magazine and website, smashing cake into the face of a spouse after tying the knot is a tradition tied to medieval England. To celebrate the marriage, the bride would toss a piece of piece of cake over her shoulder for good luck.

This evolved into newlyweds feeding a piece of cake to one another, then taking frosting or a small bit of cake and rubbing it gently onto each other's faces—usually the cheek or tip of the nose.

U.S. Army Vet Goes Viral With Blistering Speech Ripping Trump For Deploying Troops To L.A.

A U.S. Army veteran went viral after she spoke out to encourage other current and former military members to publicly condemn President Donald Trump for using them as "pawns" to suit his own ends after he deployed the National Guard and Marines to Los Angeles amid ongoing protests against his administration's immigration raids.

Trump has activated over 4,000 National Guard members and 700 Marines, despite opposition from city and state leaders. He has painted a bleak picture of Los Angeles—claims that Mayor Karen Bass and Governor Gavin Newsom say are wildly exaggerated.

Trump Dragged After Hilariously Flubbing Insult About Biden's Mental Acuity

The term malaphor means when two or more colloquial phrases or idioms get confused and combined to create something nonsensical. According to the National Institute of Health (NIH), malaphors are a common symptom of frontotemporal dementia or other cognitive impairments.

So when a person seeks to accuse someone of being unintelligent, their use of malaphors is ironic and possibly very telling—narcissists will always accuse others of their own faults and failures.
