The actor revealed on the Happy Sad Confused podcast about how a man had to be handcuffed to his seat after he confronted her thinking she was a member of the band The Chicks.

Actor Pamela Anderson talked recently in a podcast about a harrowing encounter on an plane back in the 2000s.

Anderson, talking with the Happy Sad Confused podcast at the 92Y venue in NYC, concluded nearly an hour of conversation with a harrowing story of political obsession and mistaken identity that had her terrified in her seat of a plane.


The actor shared:

“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?’ I looked back and he was [angry]. Then this stewardess had to handcuff him to the chair because he was trying to attack me."
"Ended up he thought I was a Dixie Chick. Remember that whole Dixie Chick thing? I almost got killed on a plane. I was scared to fly after that, a little bit.”

Anderson was at a peak of pop culture popularity, which collided with the nadir of the (then) Dixie Chicks. The group became the Chicks after their nationwide shunning and defamation for saying they were against the Iraq War during the Bush administration. So it was no wonder that Anderson felt threatened.

People thought that it was good for us to remember that era, and provided useful context for the event.



Folks were not impressed with the guy who caused Anderson to fear for her life.

Some people wondered if this was the inciting factor for Anderson to get a crew of impressive body guards, though many people replied that she had made her own enemies at the time without being mistaken for someone else.

The interview was a discussion of Anderson's career, and folks were impressed at how much of a life—often negative, to be fair—she has lived.

As happens now with every video and photo published of Anderson, who deliberately does not wear any makeup, people had some thoughts.


Imagine the stories if she were given more time to tell them.

Anderson can be seen most recently in The Last Showgirl.
