A woman identified as Yuen Lee, an assurance manager at KPMG US, was filmed at Chelsea Piers Fitness Flatiron calling a Jewish man a “Zionist pig” during a confrontation captured on video Wednesday.
The clip, posted by the group StopAntisemitism, shows the man recording the exchange inside the gym on Park Avenue South. Lee says the man first approached her about her attire. She tells him she is “highly educated” on the subject and reads books. When he asks what she called him, she replies, “A Zionist pig,” then adds, “Okay yeah there you go. Basically.”
Professional listings place a Yuen Lee as an assurance manager at KPMG US in New York.
Investor Bill Ackman shared the video on X, tagging KPMG and KPMG US. The post quickly drew thousands of likes and comments, with users questioning how Jewish employees at the firm would feel working with her and calling for her gym membership to be canceled.
KPMG has not issued a public statement. Earlier this year the firm required all roughly 90,000 employees to complete ADL “Antisemitism 101 for the Workplace” training.
The portion of the encounter before recording began has not been released. Chelsea Piers Fitness has not commented.
The video continues to circulate as of Thursday morning.
