Lorna Hajdini sued: JPMorgan executive faces sexual harassment and racism allegations

Lorna Hajdini, a senior executive at JPMorgan, has been sued over serious yet shocking allegations related to harassment and racial abuse.

In a lawsuit filed by a junior male employee, Hajdini was accused of sexual abuse, racial discrimination and drugging the bank staffer.

Identified as John Doe, the plaintiff claimed that Hajdini abused him over several months while threatening to jeopardize his career if he rejected her advances.

The lawsuit alleges that the unsettling behaviour began in 2024 when both started working together. In a series of disturbing incidents, Hajdini reportedly used various tactics and directed overtly sexual comments at Doe’s background.

When he tried to resist, she issued a stark warning, stating “If you don’t f*** me soon, I’m going to ruin you, never forget, I f***** own you.”

Besides hurling the abusive language, she was also accused of using the date-rape drug roofies on Doe multiple times especially during the forced interaction.

The plaintiff further alleges that Hajdini used racial slurs and mocked his heritage reportedly telling him, “You’re gonna need to earn it, my little Arab boy toy,” regarding a potential promotion.

Given the serious nature of allegations, JP Morgan breaks the silence over these disturbing claims and states that such allegations do not hold any merit.

According to a spokesperson, an internal investigation conducted by the company proved not authenticity in these claims. Even during the investigation, Doe failed to provide necessary information to validate his allegations.
