JPMorgan: Sexual Harassment Claims Against Female Executive ‘Completely Fabricated‘
Breitbart ^ | April 30, 2026 | Paul Bols

Posted on 05/01/2026 7:52:37 AM PDT by House Atreides

Explosive sexual harassment claims against a high-ranking female JPMorgan executive were reportedly “fabricated,” according to an exclusive from the New York Post.

On Wednesday, the Daily Mail broke a story about a lawsuit with allegations of sexual harassment against Lorna Hajdini, a high-ranking executive with JPMorgan, from one of her male subordinates after he joined the leveraged finance team in the spring of 2024. Identified in the suit only as “John Doe,” he claimed, among other things, that Hajdini turned him into her “sex slave,” would frequently threaten his career advancement if he rejected her sexual overtures, and would regularly subject him to racial abuse.

The New York Post later identified the male staffer as Chirayu Rana, now a principal at investment firm Bregal Sagemount, adding that a previous internal investigation by JPMorgan found no evidence of wrongdoing by Hajdini prior to the lawsuit being filed.

“Lorna categorically denies the allegations. She never engaged in any inappropriate conduct with this individual of any kind and has never even been to the location where the alleged sexual assault supposedly took place,” an attorney for Hajdini said in a statement.

A spokesperson for JPMorgan said that an internal probe by the HR department and in-house lawyers did a thorough review of team phone records and emails, finding no evidence to support the claims.

Rana also reportedly “did not report to Hajdini,” according to the NY Post, adding that “the two were simply colleagues on the leveraged finance team, which works on large corporate acquisitions, mergers, and buyouts.”:

As I suspected when originally reading of this allegation, HOAX. IMHO, of course.

The Indian “sex slave’s” book must be full of really awful investments if he had to pull a stunt like this.

“ Following an investigation, we don’t believe there’s any merit to these claims,” NY Post quoted the spokesperson as saying. “While numerous employees cooperated with the investigation, the complainant refused to participate and has declined to provide facts that would be central to support his allegations”

He made it up about her?
Did he really think he could get away with such blatant character assassination?
Maybe he tried to blackmail her first.

It just doesn't make sense to me.

Obviously the man in question is an intelligent individual.

An intelligent person would not make such an accusation without some facts and evidence to back it up.

The consequences of making an unsubstantiated accusation would be dire to such a person.

Not cooperating in the investigation is as much as admitting that you have no proof.

Of course if he was a woman (or trans) he would need no proof

Do they hire pure Americans to work for them? Only foreigners, I bet.

Take all their money and fight it out for a long drawn out battle, expend their capital resources to duke it out.

The giveaway is the claim she called his wife “Asian”. We don’t call Indians “Asian”.

I read some of the guy’s claims verbatim...

There’s NO WOMAN on this planet who would use the phrasing he claimed she used to say the outlandish crap he claims she said. One Discord user called it “heavily Indian-coded” language, and I had to agree. If you’ve ever run into an p*orn-fishing bot on X run by an account out of Indonesia you’ll recognize the pidgin English giveaways.

“How am I looking at my 45 years?”

The text just screams “English is not my first language!”
It’s a dead giveaway that the 40-something white American woman in the pic absolutely is not the person running the account.

This story simply REEKS of that same exact thing.
