EPISTEMIC CLOSURE:

UNEXPECTEDLY: Bombshell sex harassment suit against Lorna Hajdini, JPMorgan branded ‘complete fabrication’ as John Doe unmasked.

A former JPMorgan staffer who sources identified as Chirayu Rana has been accused of making fabricated sexual-harassment claims against a high-ranking executive at the bank after an internal investigation found no evidence of wrongdoing, The Post has learned.

Multiple sources told The Post that 35-year-old Rana, now a principal at investment firm Bregal Sagemount, is the man who brought the bombshell lawsuit against Lorna Hajdini earlier this week.

Rana’s suit, filed on Monday under the pseudonym John Doe, accused the 37-year-old executive director of turning him into her “sex slave” by drugging him with Rohypnol and Viagra and threatening to slash his bonus if he did not comply.

The story as originally reported was likely doing wonders for JPMorgan’s recruiting:

Incidentally, what is up with the photo of Rana in the Post’s article? It looks like it’s either AI-generated, or massively Photoshopped and processed. When the story first broke, I thought it was bound to soon become a “ripped from the headlines” Law & Order episode. But perhaps Pixar is getting the jump on buying the rights:

MICHAEL 2 CONFIRMED WITH FILMING SET FOR 2027, PER LIONSGATE:

After a record-breaking opening weekend, Michael Jackson’s biopic, Michael, starring Jaafar Jackson, will receive a sequel, Michael 2, as revealed by Lionsgate chairman Adam Fogelson.

Speaking on The Town, Fogelson confirmed that development on the sequel is underway after the film secured the biggest opening ever for a biopic. The original biopic, directed by Antoine Fuqua (“Training Day”), details the King of Pop’s rise from child star to global superstar.

Jaafar Jackson has received rave reviews for his acting debut, playing his uncle. According to Fogelson, the years that follow offer expansive material for continuation.

“There is a massive amount of music and life experiences, separate from allegations, that could fill more than a second movie,” Fogelson said.
