Lorna Hajdini, an executive director at JPMorgan Chase & Co., faces serious allegations of drugging and sexually assaulting a junior employee. The complainant, identified as John Doe, claims the abuse began in early 2024. He alleges that Hajdini used her position to coerce him into non-consensual sexual acts.
Key allegations:
- Doe accuses Hajdini of using date rape drugs on multiple occasions.
- The lawsuit claims she made racial slurs towards him, referring to him as “brown boy” and “Arab boy toy.”
- Doe reported that Hajdini threatened to ruin his career if he did not comply with her advances.
In May 2025, Doe filed a complaint with JPMorgan’s HR team detailing the harassment he faced. He stated that after filing the complaint, he was placed on involuntary leave and faced retaliation. The lawsuit was filed in the New York County Supreme Court.
JPMorgan has denied the allegations. The company stated there was no evidence to support them after an investigation. Yet, the details of the case raise significant concerns about workplace abuse and executive misconduct.
Hajdini allegedly showed up at Doe’s apartment and performed sexual acts against his will. In one instance, she reportedly said, “If you don’t f*** me soon, I’m going to ruin you. Never forget, I f***ing own you.” Such statements highlight the power dynamics at play in this situation.
The outcome of this lawsuit could have broader implications for workplace policies regarding harassment and discrimination. As investigations continue, further developments are expected regarding both the legal proceedings and JPMorgan’s response to these serious allegations.
