Pamela Anderson says she was attacked on a plane in the early 2000s

Even stars, whose faces appear on the front page of every magazine, are sometimes confused with others. As told by Pamela Anderson, iconic actress ofAlert to Malibushe too, one day, paid the price for this kind of mistake. Speaking on the Happy Sad Confused podcast, the star recalled a frightening scene during a flight in the early 2000s. A man had grabbed her, visibly very angry.

“This guy came up to me and said, ‘Do you know what this country has done for you?’” she recalled on Monday, January 6. I was like, “Oh my God, what have I done?” And when I looked at him, he started growling.” She then says that the latter was so upset that a stewardess was forced to handcuff him to his seat to calm him down.

The Dixie Chicks controversy

That day, continues Pamela Anderson, now 57 years old, her detractor was not talking about the actress, but about one of the members of the Dixie Chicks, a female country group from Texas. In the early 2000s, singer Natalie Maines was the target of controversy after criticizing George W. Bush, then President of the United States, for his decisive role in the invasion of Iraq in 2003. During a concert in London, the musician declared: “We do not want this war, this violence, and we are ashamed that the President of the United States comes (also) from Texas.” Words which were then used as a symbol of “anti-Americanism”, arousing the anger of many citizens and thus causing the decline of the music group.

If Pamela admitted that it was a “minor incident”, the man not having physically attacked her, she nevertheless admitted to having been “afraid to take a plane” for a while.
