Amid alleged affairs, Nvidia board reportedly preparing to oust CEO Jensen Huang

Reports of Two Relationships

The New York Times reported that Huang had a close relationship with Alice Huang, a senior executive at Singapore-based data company Megaspeed who was described as an alleged Chinese government agent. Nearly two weeks later, the outlet reported another alleged relationship, with an Nvidia executive said to report to him.

ABC News said it had not verified the reporting or the alleged video. The Chinese government rejected the claims about Alice Huang, calling them “baseless and purely slanderous smears against China,” according to its statement.

Huang Apologizes to Family

In an internal message to Nvidia staff, Huang acknowledged being unfaithful to his wife. He said his actions had hurt her and their children, offered no excuse, and expressed deep regret.

Huang also told staff, partners and shareholders that he had fallen short of his responsibility to earn their trust. He said he remained committed to Nvidia and would work to regain their confidence.

Company and Officials Respond

An Nvidia spokesperson previously said Huang’s interactions with Alice Huang were part of his job. The company said Huang fully supported the review and would cooperate. President Donald Trump said Monday he had asked Huang whether he knew Alice Huang was a spy. Trump told reporters Huang said he had not known, and that he believed him.

Congress Seeks Briefing

Republicans on the House Select Committee on China requested that Huang attend a closed-door briefing on Nov. 18 about his relationship with Alice Huang. The request followed the Times report.

Nvidia said its board prioritizes U.S. national and economic security, which it described as paramount to the company and its shareholders. Nvidia has become a major chipmaker as its components are widely used in AI computing servers.
