Pamela Anderson has revealed that she was once assaulted on plane after being mistaken for a member of the Dixie Chicks.The actor recalled the incident as part of a new interview on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, which went live yesterday (January 6).

During the discussion, she recalled how a man believed she was a member of the US band when he saw her on a flight, and attempted to physically assault her.“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?’” she recalled. “I was like, ‘Oh, my God.

What have I done?’”From there, Anderson explained, the man continued to stare at her throughout the flight, before getting up and attempting to physically attack her.

He was soon restrained by a flight assistant.“[He] thought I was a Dixie Chick… Remember that whole Dixie Chick thing? I almost got killed on a plane,” she added.While the actor didn’t recall exactly when the issue took place, the “whole Dixie Chick thing” she refers to may relate to the backlash the trio faced in 2003, when lead singer Natalie Maines publicly spoke out against President George W.
