Completely fabricated’: JPMorgan exec Lorna Hajdini denies ‘sex slave’ allegations

Lorna Hajdini has strongly denied allegations made against her in a high-profile lawsuit filed by a former colleague, calling.

The claims “fabricated” and asserting she has never engaged in any inappropriate conduct or even visited the location where the alleged incident was said to have occurred.

Through her legal team, Hajdini issued a firm rebuttal to a report by The New York Post, responding to accusations detailed in a case filed earlier this week under a pseudonym in the New York County Supreme Court.

The lawsuit accuses Hajdini—an executive director in JPMorgan Chase’s leveraged finance division—of serious misconduct, including claims that she drugged the complainant and coerced him under threat related to his compensation. The allegations were first reported by Daily Mail, citing a court filing that was later withdrawn for corrections.

JPMorgan has rejected the claims, stating that an internal investigation conducted by its HR team and in-house legal counsel found no evidence to substantiate the allegations. According to the bank, the probe reviewed communication records, including emails and phone data. While several employees cooperated, the complainant reportedly declined to participate and did not provide key details.

Sources cited by The New York Post said the complainant had earlier filed an internal grievance in May 2025 alleging workplace harassment before attempting to negotiate a multi-million settlement to leave the firm. The lawsuit also names JPMorgan as a defendant, accusing it of retaliation and inadequate investigation.

Importantly, the report notes that the complainant did not report to Hajdini. Both were part of the same team but operated under different reporting structures, with Hajdini reporting to a managing director while the complainant was supervised separately—undermining claims that she had influence over his bonus.

Colleagues described Hajdini as a high-performing executive, with some suggesting the allegations have unfairly affected her professional reputation. She continues to work at the bank and is also associated with Minds Matter, which supports students from underprivileged backgrounds.

No trial date has been set, and the case remains ongoing.
