Hyman’s Full Statement
She described the moment in detail:
“I was naked. I was drying up, oiling up, and I turn around, and there’s a man in the locker room. So, of course, I’m shocked, I thought maybe I missed a sign, workers working, so I just said, sir, I didn’t even get to say a sentence or anything. I was just figuring out that there was a man behind me naked. I faced him and said sir, and he goes, ‘You can’t tell me nothing B-word, I’m a woman.’ I’m like, what? Listen guys, I don’t have anything against anyone. I’ve never been presented with this in my whole entire life. I started screaming and asking for help."
