Hollywood actress Pamela Anderson has shared a horrible experience of her being nearly attacked at a flight in a case of mistaken identity, according to the reports by femalefirst.co.uk. She apparently was mistaken to be a 1960s girl group named The Dixie Chicks member by an angered passenger.
Speaking on the ‘Happy Sad Confused’ podcast, 57-year-old actress recounts the moment when an angry man confronts her by saying, “Do you know what this country’s done for you?” Alarmed and perplexed, she attempted to bring him down but to no avail, as his demeanour continued to get more aggressive.
The situation turned dramatic when the crew of the airline had to handcuff the man to his seat to restrain him from further escalating the situation. Anderson said, “He thought I was a Dixie Chick. I almost got killed on a plane!”
Although Anderson doesn’t provide a chronology of events, the debate seems to be connected to the 2003 Dixie Chicks lawsuit involving Natalie Maines, one of the group’s members who opposed former President George W. Bush and his choice to deploy troops into Iraq. She recalled she didn’t mind flying anymore following that encounter; for some time she became afraid to do so and indeed, she attributes this painful memory being vivid simply to his frown.
Pamela Anderson is known for her role as C.J. Parker in the popular television show Baywatch. She is a multi-talented individual with a background in activism, modelling, and acting. She became a global celebrity as a Playboy cover model and then an actor, making her a cultural icon of the 1990s. Apart from her work in Hollywood, Anderson is an environmentalist, women’s rights advocate, and animal rights advocate.
