GOSSIP & RUMORS: Pamela Anderson ‘almost got killed’ by man who thought she was a Dixie Chick

Scary times in the skies.

Pamela Anderson says she “almost got killed” on a flight by someone who thought she was a member of The Chicks, formerly known as the Dixie Chicks.

The actress, 57, revealed the terrifying story on a recent episode of the “Happy Sad Confused” podcast after being asked what celebrity she’s most often mistaken for.

“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 said, mimicking the man’s gravelly voice as she pointed to the audience gathered at the the 92nd Street Y for the recording.

“And I was like, ‘Oh, my God. What have I done?’”

The situation reportedly got worse as the flight went on. The “Last Showgirl” star recalled seeing the man snarling and glaring at her every time she turned around in her seat to look back at him.

She said he ultimately became violent and had to be restrained to his chair.

“This stewardess had to handcuff him to the chair because he was trying to attack me,” Anderson said.

“Yeah! And, end up, he thought I was a Dixie Chick,” she added, prompting the audience to laugh.

“Remember that whole Dixie Chick thing?” she went on. “I almost got killed on a plane.”

Though the “Pamela’s Garden of Eden” star didn’t say what year the high-flying ordeal allegedly happened, it’s assumed it would have been after 2003 when singer Natalie Maines of The Chicks — who changed the band’s name from the Dixie Chicks in 2000 — blasted then-President George W. Bush over the invasion of Iraq.

Performing at a London concert in March of that year, the Texas native, 50, said, “Just so you know, we’re on the good side with y’all. We do not want this war, this violence, and we’re ashamed that the President of the United States is from Texas.”

The Chicks suffered a near-immediate cancellation from conservative and right-wing Americans over Maines’ remarks. They were blacklisted from country radio, and fans destroyed their albums, boycotted their tour and even sent them death threats.

Maines publicly apologized at the time, though she rescinded it in 2006. “I apologized for disrespecting the office of the President. But I don’t feel that way anymore,” the singer told Time magazine. “I don’t feel he is owed any respect whatsoever.”

That same year, The Chicks released “Not Ready to Make Nice,” a song about their response to the backlash they received. The group’s only track to go 2x platinum, “Not Ready to Make Nice” took home the coveted Grammys for Record of the Year and Song of the Year in 2007.

The Chicks doubled down in 2023, saying the politically-charged statement “set us free.”

Just the small taste Anderson got of the hate The Chicks faced left her rattled. Though she called her airplane incident “minor,” she admitted, “I was scared to fly after that, a little bit.”
