Overview
- Hajdini filed a defamation countersuit on Tuesday in New York State Supreme Court that denies the sexual‑assault and racial‑abuse allegations and seeks punitive, reputational, economic, and legal fees.
- The original anonymous "John Doe" complaint alleges Hajdini drugged him, subjected him to months of nonconsensual sexual conduct, and used racial slurs; that civil case remains pending.
- JPMorgan has publicly backed Hajdini and says an internal investigation found no corroborating evidence, and multiple outlets report the bank offered the accuser a roughly $1 million settlement that he declined.
- Hajdini’s filing and media reporting point to credibility questions about the accuser, citing his refusal to cooperate with the bank’s probe and disputed claims about his personal history and prior similar complaints.
- The suit says viral posts and AI‑generated images intensified harassment and emotional harm, and the countersuit is likely to extend the dispute into discovery and further public scrutiny.
