Lorna Hajdini (37), an Executive Director in the Leveraged Finance department at JPMorgan Chase, has been sued by a former male subordinate, who alleges months of sexual assault, drugging, racial slurs, and workplace retaliation. The lawsuit was filed in the New York Supreme Court, naming JPMorgan Chase as a co-defendant, accusing the bank of enabling the misconduct and suspending the plaintiff after he reported the abuse. Hajdini has categorically denied the allegations, and JPMorgan Chase publicly responded that "after an investigation, we believe these claims are meritless." (Context: Bloomberg: JPMorgan Chase to accept BTC and ETH as collateral for institutional loans, ushering in a new era for Wall Street) (Background: JPMorgan Chase: Crypto market sell-off nearing an end, signs of Bitcoin bottoming out emerge) Nicole Kidman walked the red carpet at the 2024 Venice Film Festival, winning Best Actress for her role as a CEO who sleeps with a young intern. The film, produced by A24, is titled "Babygirl," and critics have praised it for "bravely exploring female desire and workplace power." Indeed, the film's perspective is quite novel. Six months later, the New York Supreme Court received a workplace sexual assault complaint. The defendant is Lorna Hajdini, a 37-year-old Executive Director in the Leveraged Finance department at JPMorgan Chase. The plaintiff's allegations in the complaint bear a resemblance to the plot of "Babygirl": a female executive, a male subordinate, and a power imbalance in the office. However, the lawsuit lacks the erotic choices of an A24 film; instead, it contains allegations of date-rape drugs, racial humiliation, and a married male employee who was suspended after filing a report. According to reports from The Washington Times and The New York Times, the plaintiff is a married Asian man who joined JPMorgan Chase in March 2024. The female supervisor, Lorna Hajdini, joined the plaintiff's team in April of the same year, and the two began working together. Hajdini’s misconduct allegedly began in May 2024, including repeated physical contact, explicit verbal advances, and suggestions that "compliance would lead to a promotion." The most serious allegation in the complaint is that the supervisor drugged the plaintiff on more than one occasion with Rohypnol (commonly known as a "date-rape drug") and an erectile-enhancing medication, engaging in sexual acts while the plaintiff was incapacitated. The complaint further describes multiple instances where the plaintiff was forced into sexual contact despite resisting and expressing distress, claiming that two witnesses can corroborate parts of these accounts. "If you don't f*** me right now, I will absolutely destroy you. Don't ever forget that I f***ing control you completely." This is a direct quote cited in the complaint. In "Babygirl," the desire of the protagonist played by Nicole Kidman is a result of autonomous choice. She takes risks in her self-disclosure and eventually confesses everything to her husband. The director carefully crafts a narrative of "female subjectivity," for which critics have applauded. But in this lawsuit, there is only a subordinate forced into sexual acts after being drugged by a superior, unable to refuse under the threat of power, compounded by racial humiliation. This complaint adds another layer of complexity beyond most #MeToo cases on Wall Street: racial discrimination. According to the complaint, the supervisor referred to the plaintiff as "my coffee-colored boy" and "my little Arab boy-toy." The plaintiff is Asian, and these terms contain both racial belittlement and objectification. She also sent messages with explicit racial undertones: "Does my coffee boy want a birthday blowjob?" The complaint further alleges that the supervisor used her managerial authority to access the plaintiff's personal bank accounts at JPMorgan Chase without authorization to monitor his spending and whereabouts. The plaintiff and his wife also received anonymous threats involving immigration authorities. The complaint suggests these threats are linked to the supervisor. In May 2025, the plaintiff filed a formal written complaint with JPMorgan Chase, detailing what he described as gender discrimination, racial harassment, and severe sexual assault. According to the complaint, the bank's response was swift. Within days, the plaintiff was placed on mandatory leave, and his access to all company systems was revoked. His reputation in the industry was damaged; subsequently, when he interviewed at other firms, senior employees at JPMorgan Chase provided negative evaluations, making it difficult for him to find new employment. The lawsuit also names JPMorgan Chase as a co-defendant, accusing the bank of allowing these behaviors to occur and engaging in "institutional retaliation" after the plaintiff reported them. A spokesperson for JPMorgan Chase stated: "After an investigation, we believe these claims are meritless." The bank added that multiple employees participated in the internal investigation, but the plaintiff "did not participate in
