State panel investigating hotel bathroom incident where woman was accused of being a man, lawyer says
'We are so happy and pleased that the Commission Against Discrimination ... has taken it upon themselves to help these women out,' he said, as Baker and Victor sat by his side holding hands. A spokesperson for the commission said they could neither confirm nor deny the existence of a complaint on Tuesday. The next step would be an investigative conference held in the first 30-45 days of the filing, they said. Advertisement Liberty Hotel officials did not immediately return a message seeking comment Tuesday. Kesten said Baker and Victor have not asked for monetary compensation, and they have not filed suit against the hotel. Baker and Victor had attended a Kentucky Derby-themed party at the hotel on May 3. At one point, Baker had to use the restroom, and Victor went in with her. Baker said Victor usually accompanies her to public restrooms because people have previously accused her of being a man. Advertisement But shortly after Baker entered a stall, a man banged on the door and told her to come out. After she pulled her shorts up and stepped out, a security guard accused her of being a man in the women's restroom and demanded to see her ID, Baker said Although Baker showed the guard her ID and she and Victor repeatedly told him she is a woman, the couple was escorted out of the hotel, she said. As they left the restroom, Baker said, a couple of other women made comments, calling Baker 'a creep' and telling the guard to 'get him out of here.' Speaking to reporters on Tuesday, Baker said she has faced 'comments' and 'looks' when using the women's room in the past, but the incident at the Liberty Hotel was her 'worst nightmare coming true.' 'This is the first time that something like this has escalated to the degree that it did,' she said. 'I wasn't surprised that something escalated, but it was terrifying.' Kesten, Ansley's attorney, also noted the hotel's response in two public statements in the days following the bathroom incident. The hotel's first statement said the bathroom was cleared because two adults were using the same stall, which is not permitted. Baker and Victor have denied that account, saying they never entered the stall together. The next day, the hotel released a second statement that told a different story. This one said the security guard had been suspended and staff would undergo 'mandatory retraining ... on inclusive practices and guest interaction protocols, with a particular focus on creating a safe and welcoming space for LGBTQ+ individuals.' Advertisement Kesten said he is pressing the hotel to explain how the first statement came to be released and what led the hotel to suspend the guard. 'It reeks of legal language,' Kesten said.
