Lorna Hajdini denies JPMorgan claims as complaint is removed — The Daily Mail

Lorna Hajdini has denied a viral sexual harassment complaint tied to JPMorgan Chase, after the bank found the allegations were based on no reliable evidence. The daily mail account of the case centers on a New York lawsuit that accused the 37-year-old JPMorgan executive in the leveraged finance division of misconduct. The complaint has since been removed.

JPMorgan Chase review

The dispute began with a New York lawsuit accusing Hajdini of repeatedly forcing herself on one married Asian employee and making racist remarks, including, "my little brown boy." The complaint also alleged that she said, "I bet your little Asian, fish head, wife doesn’t have these cannons," after removing her shirt, and, "If you don’t f–k me soon, I’m going to ruin you," when he resisted her advances.

JPMorgan Chase investigated the allegations and found they were based on no reliable evidence. Hajdini’s lawyers said, "Lorna categorically denies the allegations" and "She never engaged in any inappropriate conduct with this individual of any kind."

Hajdini’s denial

Hajdini also says she hasn’t even visited one of the places where she allegedly assaulted her victim. That detail sits at the center of the clash between the lawsuit’s claims and her defense, because the complaint spread widely before the bank’s review shut it down.

The case has moved from accusation to rebuttal and then to removal, leaving the practical consequence for readers inside JPMorgan Chase in the public record rather than the complaint. The allegations remain part of a New York lawsuit story that has now been stripped of the complaint itself.

The next step is no longer a court filing on the complaint itself, because the complaint was removed. What remains is Hajdini’s categorical denial, the bank’s finding that the allegations rested on no reliable evidence, and the question of how far the story travels now that the lawsuit document is gone.
