JPMorgan Executive Files Defamation Countersuit Over Sexual Assault Claims

On Wednesday, JPMorgan executive Lorna Hajdini filed a defamation countersuit in New York State Supreme Court, accusing former employee Chirayu Rana of fabricating sexual assault and harassment claims to damage her reputation.
The dispute stems from claims made last month by Rana, who accused Hajdini of racial abuse and treating him like a 'sex slave,' though JPMorgan's internal review found no supporting evidence.
Reports indicate Rana initially sought more than $20 million, later rejecting a $1 million settlement offer, while Hajdini's legal team described the accusations as 'entirely false, malicious and fabricated.'
JPMorgan stated it 'fully support Lorna and her right to defend herself,' while the countersuit alleges Rana previously made 'eerily similar' sexual misconduct claims against a supervisor elsewhere.
The dispute has become a prominent Wall Street spectacle, mixing reputational damage with a public fight over truth, as both sides remain firm in their positions while the active legal process continues.
