NYC Lawyer Placed on Leave After Viral Canoodling Incident in Central Park A prominent New York City lawyer, Nathaniel Cullerton, a 45-year-old partner at Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz, has been placed on administrative leave following a viral incident in which he was captured on camera kissing his 29-year-old colleague, Kelsey Borenzweig, in Central Park. The incident, which was shared on TikTok by user @jayguap3, prompted an internal investigation at the law firm. According to a report by the Financial Times, Cullerton’s placement on leave comes amid an ongoing probe into the matter. The video shows Cullerton and Borenzweig engaged in a public embrace in the park. The clip includes a caption by the TikToker, who urges the pair to “get a room” and notes the presence of children nearby. The lawyers are depicted looking embarrassed and attempting to shield themselves from the camera as the TikTok user approaches them. Cullerton is shown standing with a smile, trying to shoo the filmer away, while Borenzweig calmly tells him to “put the phone down.” The TikTokker, who has a history of posting antagonizing content, reportedly snaps, “Don’t touch me, don’t touch — if you touch me I’ll have to touch you.” Cullerton, who is married to Moira Penza, a 42-year-old partner at another Manhattan law firm, has been in a long-term relationship with Penza since 2016. The couple shares a $2.3 million Upper East Side co-op apartment, according to the Daily Mail. Borenzweig was recently in a relationship with a fellow lawyer but has since split from the partner, as reported by the Mail. The incident has also raised questions about Cullerton’s professional trajectory.#tiktok #central_park #nathaniel_cullerton #kelsey_borenzweig #wachtell_lipton_rosen_katz
