JPMorgan Executive Accused of Forcing Married Colleague into Humiliating Acts, Lawsuit Alleges

A JPMorgan Chase executive, Lorna Hajdini, is accused in a New York Supreme Court filing of coercing a married junior colleague into non-consensual and humiliating sex acts for months, allegedly drugging him and threatening him when he resisted. The plaintiff says the bank retaliated after he reported the abuse, including involuntary leave and reputational damage, and that Hajdini gained unauthorized access to his bank account. JPMorgan denies the claims, saying an internal investigation found no merit. The allegations sparked media attention and a reported uptick in JPMorgan’s stock on the news.

Gallego reflects on defending Swalwell and the costly lesson it taught him

Sen. Rubén Gallego says he defended Eric Swalwell without knowledge of the sexual misconduct allegations and acknowledges it was a mistake. He explains he had heard rumors about other politicians and Swalwell’s loyalty during a difficult 2024 campaign, denies hearing predatory rumors, and now says he would not have acted the same way. He frames the episode as a learning moment about judgment and a broader culture on the Hill, pledging to be a better boss and senator as he weighs a possible 2028 bid.

Lively and Baldoni Hover on a Confidential Settlement Before May Trial

Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni’s civil case heads toward a May trial after a court-ordered settlement conference failed to reach a deal. Lively accuses Baldoni of sexual harassment, while Baldoni’s defamation suit against Lively has been dismissed. Any settlement would likely be confidential, with terms never made public, and experts say there are few winners in celebrity litigation because reputations—and careers—can be damaged regardless of the outcome.
