Jpmorgan Chase Finds No Reliable Evidence Behind Hajdini Claims
jpmorgan chase found no reliable evidence behind the allegations against Lorna Hajdini, a 37-year-old in its leveraged finance division. The finding cuts against a New York lawsuit that accused her of repeated sexual harassment and of drugging a married Asian employee.
Hajdini's Denial
Hajdini’s lawyers said, "Lorna categorically denies the allegations" and "She never engaged in any inappropriate conduct with this individual of any kind." She also said she has not even visited one of the places where she allegedly assaulted her victim.
Claims In The Lawsuit
The lawsuit alleged that Hajdini forced herself on the employee, called him "my little brown boy," and said, "If you don’t f–k me soon, I’m going to ruin you." It also alleged that she drugged him with Viagra and Rohypnol in an effort to turn him into her office sex slave.
Widely Shared Story
The dispute spread widely online, giving the allegations a reach that the bank’s review later challenged. For readers tracking the fallout, the practical shift is simple: JPMorgan’s internal finding gives the bank a factual basis to reject the story as presented in the lawsuit, while Hajdini’s legal team is drawing a much harder line by denying both the conduct and the setting described in the claims.
