Lorna Hajdini Row, Joe Rogan Sides With JPM Exec, Calls Accuser's Claims Fake, 'A H-rny Indian Guy'

The controversy around JPMorgan executive Lorna Hajdini has grabbed national headlines over a former junior employee's disturbing allegations against her in an April 2026 lawsuit filed in New York. The 37-year-old senior finance executive was accused of sexual harassment and coercion, among other things. However, not everyone is convinced by the allegations, including popular podcaster Joe Rogan. 

Joe Rogan calls out Lorna Hajdini's accuser as 'fake' 

In the lawsuit filed on April 30, 2026, under the pseudonym 'John Doe', the 37-year-old senior finance executive at JPMorgan Chase was accused of sexual harassment, racial discrimination, coercion, and drugging a junior male colleague. The accuser was later identified as Chirayu Rana, a former banker in her division. While the claims initially gained major traction, emerging details soon began shifting public sentiment.

Several industry insiders and experts have since spoken up about the complaints, including JPM itself, which has dismissed the claims as having "no merit." Addressing the situation on The Joe Rogan Experience podcast, the host didn't hold back while reacting to the claims. In a new episode alongside comedian Shane Gillis, the podcast giant reacted to the JPMorgan scandal, bluntly saying:

"They said that lady, Lorna Hajdini, forced a guy to f*ck her at JPMorgan... It was a scam. It was fake... It wasn’t real. He just claimed that she said all these things."

Rogan's guest, Shane Gillis, also weighed in on the matter, confirming whether the accuser was Indian, as he sounded like an "Indian guy", adding that the claims in the lawsuit sounded like they were written by "the horniest guy ever." In the now-retracted lawsuit, Hajdini was accused of forcing the male employee into sexual acts, including performing oral sex and engaging in other explicit conduct without his consent.

Lorna Hajdini is regarded as a top performer with a strong reputation. Her lawyer stated she never engaged in misconduct and was not present at the alleged incident location. Reports have also noted that the accuser did not directly report to Hajdini, raising doubts about claims that she could influence his promotions. JPMorgan further stated that while Hajdini cooperated fully with the internal probe, the accuser allegedly did not. Despite the growing backlash, the accuser’s legal team insists there is supporting evidence and maintains the claims are valid.
