Lorna Hajdini row: Did JPMorgan executive's son react to assault allegations? Fact-checking viral claim
Lorna Hajdini, a JPMorgan executive, is accused of sexual assault by a former employee, which her lawyer denies.
Lorna Hajdini, a senior executive at JPMorgan, has recently been in the news due to alarming accusations made against her. On April 30, it was reported that a former employee of JPMorgan initiated a lawsuit against Hajdini, alleging that he had been sexually assaulted and drugged by her in the workplace.

Meanwhile, Hajdini's attorney stated that the allegations are completely false. Amidst this situation, there has been public curiosity regarding Hajdini's marital status. Concurrently, another post circulated on social media, where a person claimed to be Lorna's son. Here's what we know:

Lorna Hajdin row: Did her son drop post amid lawsuit?
Amid the row, a photograph of Hajdini alongside a boy is circulating on X (formerly Twitter), where he can be seen standing next to a senior executive from JPMorgan. The accompanying caption claimed that Lorna is his mother, who has been linked to JPMorgan Chase and has faced slander due to allegations from a former employee.
The post also mentioned that Lorna has consistently prioritized her family and has instilled in her son the values of hard work, respect, and standing up for what is right. “This is my Mom, she works at JPMorgan Chase and has recently been SLANDERED in the news by a disgruntled ex-employee. My mother, Lorna, is loving and has always put family first and taught me the importance of respect, hard work, and standing up for what’s right," the post caption read.
As the post gained traction on social media, those curious about her marital status interpreted it as a confirmation of her being married.
It obviously seems a fabricated post, and the boy depicted in it is not Lorna's son. There is no information available regarding Lorna's personal life, including her relationship status. The person who purported to be Lorna's son was identified as Brayden Cookz.
Recently, Grok has also verified that there are no reports suggesting that Lorna has a son or any children, and the current image does not provide any evidence to support such claims.
