[General] 'being "harassing and negligent" '

[Olympian]

Hello,

I came across the following sentence in the Yahoo/Forbes News story - Duke Heirs Caught in Billion-Dollar Fortune Battle

The Duke trusts are being managed by corporate giants JPMorgan Chase and Citibank. The New York Daily News recently reported about this dispute, in which Daisha accuses JPMorgan of being "harassing and negligent."

Is it correct to say 'being "harassing and negligent"'? I can understand 'accuses of being negligent', or
'accuses of harassment', but 'accuses of being harassing' seems incorrect, but perhaps it is correct when combined (state together) with 'negligent'?

Thank you

The New York Daily News recently reported about this dispute, in which Daisha accuses JPMorgan of being harassing and negligent.
'Harassing' sounds like a verb but is actually an adjective in the sentence, like 'intimidating' or 'threatening'.
So it is correct.
