Pamela Anderson Was ‘Almost Killed’ on a Plane Because of the Dixie Chicks

Pamela Anderson "almost got killed" on a plane after being mistaken for someone else.

The 57-year-old actress was spotted by an angry man on a flight and he "tried to attack" her but it turned out that he had mistaken her for a member of country girl group The Chicks, formerly known as the Dixie Chicks.

Speaking on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, she explained: "This one time, I was on a flight and this guy came up to me and said, ‘Do you know what this country's done for you?'

"And I was like, ‘Oh, my God. What have I done?' And then I looked back at him and he'd [growl at me]. This stewardess had to handcuff him to the chair because he was trying to attack me. Yeah. And, it ended up... he thought I was a Dixie Chick. Remember that whole Dixie Chicks thing? I almost got killed on a plane!"

The former Baywatch actress added that the whole incident left her slightly "scared" to fly afterward, and recalled just turning around in her seat to look back at a man who was scowling at her the whole time.

She added: "When you look back and he's like [scowling] at you. That was minor [though]! I was scared to fly after that!"

The Last Showgirl star did not explicitly state when the incident took place, but the group faced controversy when member Natalie Maines condemned then-President George W. Bush and the invasion of Iraq while performing at a concert in London in 2003.

Three years after making the comments, the "Goodbye Earle" hit-maker said that she "didn't feel that way anymore" but didn't think that Bush was "owed any respect" at all.
