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.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
