Lorna Hajdini, a 37-year-old executive director in JPMorgan Chase's Leveraged Finance division, has filed a counterclaim against 35-year-old Chirayu Rana, who accused her of sexual harassment and other misconduct. In her counterclaim filed in New York State Supreme Court, Hajdini denies all allegations, asserting they are false and malicious, intended to extort money from her and the bank. Her legal team alleges that Rana engaged in a months-long campaign of defamation that severely harmed her career and personal life. The counterclaim details how Rana's accusations have led to public ridicule, emotional distress, and damage to her reputation, including being targeted in degrading memes and jokes online. Hajdini seeks damages for mental health treatment, legal fees, and other costs related to the fallout from Rana's claims. JPMorgan Chase has publicly supported Hajdini, stating they do not believe the allegations against her have merit and that their internal investigation found no evidence to support Rana's claims. Meanwhile, Rana is also suing JPMorgan for defamation, claiming the bank disparaged him to potential employers.
