JPMorgan Denies Ex-Vice President's April 27 Harassment Suit as Claims Go Viral
8 articles · Updated · Bloomberg · May 22
JPMorgan filed its formal court answer Thursday night, rejecting a former vice president’s sexual harassment and discrimination lawsuit as “false” and “malicious.”
The response targets an April 27 complaint that accused executive director Lorna Hajdini of sexually assaulting the former banker and alleged racism in the bank’s leveraged finance group.
Those allegations have spread widely on social media, turning the case into a higher-profile dispute as the bank mounts its legal defense.
A banker alleges sexual assault, the executive sues for defamation. Is this a case of workplace abuse or calculated extortion?
Was JPMorgan's internal probe a fair investigation or a corporate strategy to discredit a multi-million dollar harassment claim?
