JPMorgan exec Lorna Hajdini sues ex-banker Chirayu Rana for defamation ...
JPMorgan Chase executive Lorna Hajdini is suing disgraced former banker Chirayu Rana for defamation, accusing him of completely fabricating claims that she used and abused him as her “sex slave,” The Post has learned. Hajdini filed a defamation lawsuit against Rana in the New York state Supreme Court earlier Tuesday. The suit alleges that the 35-year-old finance professional, who lied about his dad dying to get time off work, orchestrated a months-long campaign of false accusations that torched her career, damaged her reputation and turned her life into a global tabloid spectacle that first lit up social media last month. Hajdini has struck back against her “sex slave” accuser, Chirayu Rana, in a lawsuit filed in Manhattan on Tuesday. Linkedin “Ms. Hajdini categorically and unequivocally denies each and every allegation of unlawful conduct,” the countersuit reads. “These allegations are entirely false, malicious, and fabricated, and were concocted for the improper purpose of personal enrichment at the expense of defendants and others,” it said. Her lawyers also blasted Rana for “peddling his lies that Ms. Hajdini was a racist, sexual predator,” stating that his aim was “to destroy her reputation for leverage to extort millions of dollars” from her and JPMorgan. But the document also alleges that Rana had made similar sexual harassment claims in a previous job, a claim that The Post has previously been unable to independently verify. “Plaintiff made up eerily similar fabricated allegations of sexual misconduct against a supervisor at a prior place of employment,” the court filing states. “Ms. Hajdini seeks to vindicate her name, mitigate the substantial damage inflicted upon her, and hold (the) plaintiff accountable for his depraved and unlawful conduct,” the suit continues. Her lawyers called Rana’s initial complaint “the culmination of a months-long campaign to smear Ms. Hajdini in the workplace, to third parties, the press, and now this court with fabricated assertions.” Rana, who appeared in this TikTok video in May 2024, had enjoyed a journeyman career in finance.

As we have said from the outset, we don’t believe the allegations against her or the firm have merit.” The new filing comes just over three weeks after Rana ignited one of Wall Street’s most explosive recent scandals when he sued Hajdini in the Ne...
