Lorna Hajdini, a senior JPMorgan Chase executive, faces serious allegations of sexual abuse and racial harassment. The claims come from a former junior male coworker who filed a lawsuit on April 27, 2026, in New York.
The lawsuit alleges that Hajdini engaged in sexual abuse, coercion, and even drugging the plaintiff. Additionally, the plaintiff claims that she made racist comments, referring to him as a ‘Brown boy Indian.’
JPMorgan conducted an internal investigation but found no evidence to support the allegations against Hajdini. The bank stated, “The investigation found no evidence to support the claims.” However, the plaintiff contends he faced retaliation for speaking out about the alleged abuse.
The case has ignited discussions about power imbalances in the workplace. It raises significant questions about workplace justice and accountability within the financial industry.
Hajdini has denied all allegations of sexual harassment. Following the allegations, her LinkedIn account was deleted. Social media has seen considerable attention surrounding this case.
According to court filings, “Lorna forced ‘non-consensual and degrading sexual acts,’ pressured her colleague through her senior position, and even allegedly drugged him more than once.” This statement underscores the severity of the accusations.
The lawsuit is just beginning, and no court has made a ruling on these allegations yet. The outcome could have far-reaching implications for workplace policies at JPMorgan and beyond.
