NYC lawyer caught canoodling with colleague in Central Park placed on leave: report
Key Points:
- Nathaniel Cullerton, a 45-year-old partner at Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz, has been placed on leave amid an investigation following a viral video showing him kissing a younger colleague, Kelsey Borenzweig, in Central Park.
- Cullerton was expected to move to rival firm Gibson Dunn along with several other attorneys, but the move was halted after the video gained widespread attention on social media.
- Both lawyers were part of the legal team defending OpenAI and Sam Altman against Elon Musk’s $150 billion lawsuit earlier this year.
- It remains unclear if Borenzweig is also under investigation or on leave, though both attorneys’ profiles remain active on their firm’s website.
- The video, which has over 4 million views on TikTok, shows the pair kissing publicly before being interrupted by a bystander filming the encounter.
