Alexis Black, Formerly Grant Freeman, Convicted of Ex-Wife's Jaw Fracture Before Name Change and Gym Controversy

A Los Angeles individual, now identifying as Alexis Black, who was formerly known as Kyle Grant Freeman, pleaded guilty in 2022 to brutally assaulting his then-wife, Alexis Freeman, resulting in a compound fractured jaw. This conviction, which led to a year-long prison sentence, has resurfaced amid recent allegations of inappropriate conduct in a Beverly Hills gym locker room and a public statement from Jennifer Sey. The controversy highlights ongoing debates surrounding gender identity, safety in women's spaces, and past criminal records.Court documents from Hamilton County, Ohio, confirm that "Kyle Grant Freeman caused serious physical harm to the victim," stating that the victim "suffered a compound fractured mandible, which resulted in her needing surgery." Following his conviction and release, Freeman adopted the name Alexis Black, reportedly taking his ex-wife's first name as his own, a detail that has drawn significant criticism.The individual, now Alexis Black, recently became central to a viral incident at an EōS Fitness gym in Beverly Hills, where singer-songwriter Tish Hyman accused Black of exposing himself and harassing women in the locker room. Black has denied these specific allegations, telling TMZ that they were fully covered and that "the truth in the moment is far from what she's portraying." The incident has fueled broader discussions about the presence of trans-identifying individuals in single-sex spaces.In response to these developments, former Levi's executive Jennifer Sey publicly commented on the situation via social media, stating:> "That’s a man. Just like Grant Freeman, who broke his ex-wife’s jaw and now puts on some lip gloss to transwash his crimes away by declaring he’s a woman. And has moved on to harassing women in gym locker rooms."Sey's tweet directly links Black's past conviction to the current controversies, using the term "transwash" to imply a strategic use of gender identity.Public records further indicate that Alexis Black, under the name Kyle Grant Freeman, has a history of other legal issues, including past convictions for drug trafficking and resisting arrest. These additional charges contribute to the complex public perception surrounding the individual and the ongoing discussions about accountability and public safety.
