Naked Hajdini woke me up: New details in new filing
In Rana’s new filing, one alleged witness, apparently a family friend of Rana, said he was staying at an apartment while visiting New York City and was woken up by Hajdini’s drunken antics in the middle of the night. He attempted to go back to sleep, but a “completely naked” Hajdini woke him up, the New York Post reported, citing the new filing.Hajdini sat on the couch he was sleeping on, lit a cigarette and began begging him to “join them” in the bedroom, the document climed.Despite refusing several times, the witness said Hajdini told him “you know I own [redacted], so you better come join.”After she returned to the bedroom, he claimed, he could hear Rana pleading, “No, no, no, you have to leave. I’m not going to do this. Please stop.”Hajdini left the apartment later in the night, and Rana told him how she “constantly harassed him and forced him to engage in sexual behavior with her on a number of occasions,” the new complaint said. The witness also claimed that he saw Hajdini was ‘hadsy’ with Rana at a concert for Norwegian DJ Kygo at Barclay’s Center earlier that month.Another witness claimed to have seen Hajdini kissing Rana’s neck on the street sometime during the summer of 2024. Another account by a witness said Hajdini told Chirayu Rana something like ‘I own you, Brownie’.
