Pamela Anderson's Near Assault on Flight Due to Mistaken Identity
Pamela AndersonPamela Anderson recently revealed a shocking incident where she was nearly assaulted aboard a flight due to a case of mistaken identity. During a candid discussion on the "Happy Sad Confused" podcast with Josh Horowitz, Anderson recounted how a fellow passenger wrongly identified her as a member of The Chicks, the country music group formerly known as The Dixie Chicks.
The "Baywatch" star explained that the misunderstanding led to a tense confrontation. "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?'" Anderson recalled. The man's aggression escalated to the point where flight crew intervention was necessary. "This stewardess had to handcuff him to the chair because he was trying to attack me", she continued, still incredulous about the ordeal.
The Chicks had been embroiled in controversy years earlier when lead singer Natalie Maines criticized then-President George W. Bush and the U.S. invasion of Iraq during a concert in London in 2003. The remarks sparked significant backlash from war supporters, leading to a blacklisting of their music on country radio stations.
Reflecting on the airline incident, Anderson noted, "I almost got killed on a plane!" she laughed, though she admitted that the situation left her "scared to fly" for some time. Anderson's anecdotes highlight the lasting implications of The Chicks' historical controversy, even affecting individuals mistakenly associated with the group years later.
Despite the frightening experience, Anderson humorously stated that she was mistaken for a Dixie Chick, without specifying which member. The story underscores how public perceptions can have unexpected consequences, even for someone as iconic as Pamela Anderson.
