Assault Conviction Surfaces in LA Gym Locker-Room Dispute Involving Tish Hyman and Alexis Black

Court records confirming a 2022 guilty plea by Alexis Black have intensified attention on an unresolved locker-room dispute governed by California’s gender‑identity access rules.

Overview

  • Tish Hyman posted viral video from Nov. 2 confronting a person in the women’s locker room at the Beverly Center location and says her membership was revoked after police escorted her out.
  • Alexis Black, identified as the person confronted, told TMZ they were fully covered, are registered as female with the gym, and deny exposing genitalia or harassing anyone.
  • Hamilton County, Ohio court records show Black, formerly known as Grant/Kyle Grant Freeman, pleaded guilty in 2022 to an assault that caused a compound fractured jaw and received a one‑year sentence, with outlets citing additional prior convictions.
  • Gold’s Gym clarified the Beverly Center site is now operated independently by EōS Fitness, which has not issued a detailed public statement in the reporting.
  • Coverage highlights California civil‑rights guidance allowing access to facilities based on gender identity and notes that key events inside the locker room lack independent verification beyond participant accounts.
