Pamela Anderson says she once feared for her safety during a particularly intense instance of mistaken identity.

On Monday’s episode of the “Happy Sad Confused” podcast, the “Baywatch” alum recalled being confronted on a flight by a passenger who’d mistaken her for a member of the Grammy-winning country band the Chicks.

“This guy came up to me and said, ‘Do you know what this country’s done for you?’ And I was like, ‘Oh my God, what have I done?’” Anderson said. “Then this stewardess had to handcuff him to the chair, because he was trying to attack me.”

“And end up, he thought I was a Dixie Chick,” she continued. “Remember that whole Dixie Chick thing? Yeah, I almost got killed on a plane.”

Anderson didn’t specify when the incident took place. In 2003, the Chicks ― who were then known as the Dixie Chicks ― faced national backlash and were blacklisted from country radio after lead singer Natalie Maines declared she was “ashamed that the president of the United States,” George W. Bush, was from her home state of Texas.

Watch Pamela Anderson’s “Happy Sad Confused” interview below. Her comments about being confused for a Chicks member begin around 49:05.

I wish they’d worked together, though.

She’s got that whole sweet, pretty, blonde American bombshell thing going on.

(yes, I know she’s Canadian, but people forget that.)

But her life has had more than its fair share of horrors.

She’d have made a great Lynch heroine.
