Overview
- A TikTok clip filmed by creator Jay Guapõ showing Nathaniel Cullerton and colleague Kelsey Borenzweig kissing on a Central Park bench has racked up millions of views on social platforms.
- Multiple outlets report Wachtell has opened an internal investigation and that partner Nathaniel Cullerton has been placed on leave while the firm reviews the incident.
- The Financial Times and other reports say Cullerton’s planned lateral move to Gibson Dunn was put on hold or withdrawn after the video circulated, threatening a multimillion‑dollar compensation package.
- Kelsey Borenzweig’s employment or investigative status has not been publicly confirmed, and both attorneys’ biographies remain active on Wachtell’s website.
- The episode highlights how bystander recordings of private moments in public can produce swift reputational and career consequences for lawyers who recently worked on high‑profile cases such as OpenAI’s defense against Elon Musk, and it may prompt firms to tighten hiring and conduct reviews.
