Bombshell JPMorgan sex harassment suit that went viral branded 'complete fabrication' as John Doe accuser unmasked
Key Points:
- Chirayu Rana, a former JPMorgan employee now at Bregal Sagemount, filed a lawsuit under a pseudonym accusing JPMorgan executive Lorna Hajdini of sexual harassment, including drugging and coercion, but an internal JPMorgan investigation found no evidence supporting these claims.
- Rana alleged that Hajdini threatened to slash his bonus if he did not comply with her demands, but sources revealed they were colleagues without a direct reporting relationship, making such threats unlikely.
- JPMorgan denied the allegations and stated that Rana refused to cooperate with the internal investigation, which reviewed communications and found no merit to the claims.
- Hajdini strongly denied the accusations, highlighting her clean record and ongoing role at JPMorgan, while friends and colleagues described Rana as socially awkward but competent.
- The lawsuit remains active with no trial date set, and media outlets are protected from defamation claims when reporting on the case, regardless of the allegations' veracity.
