A senior executive at JPMorgan Chase has been accused in a lawsuit of s+x¥ally hara§§ing, ab¥sing, and c%ercing a junior male colleague over several months, using threats and alleged dr¥gging to control him.
The defendant, Lorna Hajdini, 37, an executive director in the bank’s Leveraged Finance division, is alleged to have subjected the unnamed employee, identified as John Doe, to repeated non-consensual encounters, racial ab¥se, and intimidation tied to his career progression.

Filed in New York, the lawsuit claims the alleged misconduct began shortly after both began working together in 2024. Doe alleges Hajdini made inappropriate advances early on, which escalated into explicit threats, including warnings that his promotion depended on complying with her demands.
The complaint further alleges that Hajdini admitted to secretly dr¥gging him on multiple occasions to facilitate s+x¥al encounters. Doe claims he repeatedly resisted but ultimately complied out of fear of retaliation.

He also accuses the bank of failing to protect him and instead p¥nishing him after he reported the incidents.
According to the filing, he was placed on involuntary leave, locked out of company systems, and subjected to reputational d@mage, while those accused faced no immediate consequences.
JPMorgan has denied the allegations, stating that an internal investigation found no evidence to support the claims.
A company spokesperson also noted that the complainant declined to participate fully in the probe.

His legal team describes the allegations as deeply disturbing, raising serious concerns about workplace power dynamics and accountability.
