JPMorgan Executive Lorna Hajdini has been in the midst of a controversy after a married colleague accused her of inappropriate conduct.
JPMorgan employee, Lorna Hajdini, found herself in the midst of a high-profile lawsuit that was filed by an ex-employee of the company. However, the claims are shocking and state that she has indulged in inappropriate conduct with a married man. However, Lorna's lawyer dismissed the strong claims. The case was filed earlier this week at the New York County Supreme Court.
In the lawsuit, the 37-year-old executive director of JPMorgan's finance team has been accused of abusing the plaintiff. The allegations are grave as the former employee of the company claimed that she had drugged him with substances such as Rohypnol and Viagra. He further claimed that she threatened him that if he failed to fulfil her demands, he won't get the bonus. The case was first reported by The Daily Mail, and they quoted the court filing, which has been withdrawn for corrections.
The executive claimed that Lorna used her position to sexually harass him. The married banker added that she forced him into non-consensual and humiliating intimate acts over several months. However, on several occasions, he pleaded with her to stop. Not only this, the accuser further claimed that Lorna admitted that she drugged him on multiple occasions. Not only this, she berated him as he cried while she performed an intimate act on him against his will.
The accuser further claimed that the firm placed him on involuntary leave after reporting the issue. He went on to claim that Lorna has been harassing him since April 2024. However, the company has strongly denied all such claims. The bank's spokesperson stated that they had done a thorough internal investigation by their HR team and there was no evidence found against Lorna.
The review also includes team phone records and emails. During the process, several employees cooperated with the investigation, but the complainant declined to participate. It is also worth mentioning that the complainant did not report under Lorna Hajdini. They bothe worked in the same leveraged finance team but with different reporting lines. It is stated that Lorna was under the managing director Brandon Graffeo while the complainant was under the managing director, Jon Wolter. Hence, Lorna had no say in the complainant's annual bonus, which is a crucial claim in the lawsuit. It is reported that the complainant has been described as 'socially awkward' but had good work skills. On the other hand, Lorna Hajdini has been a top performer and continues to work in the bank. Another colleague claimed that the lawsuit and the allegation has damaged Lorna's reputation across the world as it is now in the news.
Lorna Hajdini is a 37-year-old JPMorgan's top performer employee. She has been graduated from NYU Stern School of Business. She has also been a volunteer with Minds Matter, which is a non-profit organisation, known for helping and supporting underprivilidged students in pursuing further studies. On the other hand, the man who had filed lawsuit has also been an employee of Houlihan Lowkey, Credit Suisse, TCG Capital Markets, Morgan Stanley and The Carlyle Group before being part of JPMorgan. Currently, he is part of Bregual Sagemount, which is a New York-based investment firm.
