Who are The Chicks members? Pamela Anderson recalls she “almost got killed on a plane” after being mistaken for one of the artists

Pamela Anderson during an episode of the Happy Sad Confused podcast was asked if she's ever been mistaken for another celebrity, to which she took the name of The Chicks.

The Chicks who were formerly known as Dixie Chicks are an American country band from Dallas including five female artists; Natalie Mains, Laura Lynch, Martie Maguire, Emily Robison, and Robin Lynn Macy.

Pamela Anderson mentioned that she was once almost attacked by a man who thought she was a member of The Dixie Chicks,

"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?' And I was like, 'Oh, my God. What have I done?' I was like, 'Oh god.' I looked back and he was (angry). Then this stewardess had to handcuff him to the chair because he was trying to attack me."

Pamela Anderson while speaking on the Happy Sad Confused podcast mentioned that she later figured out that the man had mistaken her for a "Dixie Chick",

"Yeah. Ended up he thought I was a Dixie Chick. Remember that whole Dixie Chick thing?" I almost got killed on a plane. I was scared to fly after that, a little bit."

The Chicks were on the top of their game in the early 2000s after selling more than 25 million records. However, things changed quickly for them when they flew to London for a promotional concert one week before President Bush confirmed that the United States had entered the Iraq War.

Lead singer Natalie Maines during a concert on March 10, 2003, mentioned that her band was ashamed President George W. Bush was from Texas amid the Iraq war.

"Just so you know. We do not want this war, this violence, and we're ashamed that the President of the United States is from Texas."

At the time, the country music scene was embracing patriotism more than ever since it was just two years after the attack on the World Trade Center.

Although Maines did go on to apologize by saying that while the band supports American troops,

"there is nothing more frightening than the notion of going to war with Iraq and the prospect of all the innocent lives that will be lost."

The Chicks' popularity plummeted after listeners complained to them of using "Anti-American" rhetoric.
