Transgender woman Alexis Black publicly addressed a viral confrontation with singer Tish Hyman at a Los Angeles Gold’s Gym, denying accusations and adding fuel to the national conversation about gender identity and women’s spaces.
The clash occurred in the women’s locker room at the Beverly Center Gold’s Gym, where Tish Hyman recorded a video confronting a transgender individual. The clip featured Hyman voicing concern about men entering women’s areas, which swiftly spread online and sparked widespread support and criticism.
Appearing on TMZ Live, Black stated she was fully dressed during the encounter and refuted all claims made by Hyman. She emphasized that the singer had repeatedly created uncomfortable and discriminatory situations at multiple gyms.
“The truth in the moment is far from what she is purporting it to be. Every time she has done that, I’ve had women in the locker room comforting me because of how aggressive she was towards me,” said Black.
The video and subsequent statements reignited debate over transgender rights in shared spaces, prompting mixed reactions across social media platforms and in broader media discussions.
