Bill Ackman, a billionaire hedge funder, shared a video on social media showing Yuen Lee, an assurance manager at accounting firm KPMG, calling a gym-goer a "Zionist pig" in Manhattan. The incident occurred at Chelsea Piers Flatiron gym and was initially posted by nonprofit group StopAntisemitism. The man recording the encounter accused Lee of insulting him first, while she claimed to be reacting to comments about her clothing, which included wearing a keffiyeh scarf seen as supportive of Palestinian causes but also viewed negatively by some Jewish individuals.
The video garnered over 2.5 million views on X (formerly Twitter) and sparked outrage among social media users who demanded KPMG take action against Lee. Commenters noted that the firm’s clients, many paying over $500/hour for services, might feel uncomfortable knowing about this incident. Some called for Lee's dismissal or warned of losing business if no action was taken.
