Pamela Anderson Was Afraid to Fly After She ‘Almost Got Killed’ By Crazed Passenger Who Mistook Her For Member of The Chicks

Pamela Anderson talked about the time two decades ago when a male passenger threatened her life on a flight thinking she was a member of The Chicks.

But the actress and former Baywatch star revealed on the Happy Sad Confused podcast this week that years ago a man threatened to kill her on a plane when he mistook her for a member of country trio The Chicks. Though she did not specify the timeline of the incident, it appeared she was talking about the period in 2003 after Maines said during a concert in London in March of that year that she was ashamed that Bush was a fellow Texan in response to the U.S.’s invasion of Iraq. The Chicks’ career went into a tailspin following the backlash, impacting their record sales and radio play for years, a situation chronicled in the 2006 doc Shut Up and Sing.
