It hasn't been a great week for Nvidia. After CEO Jensen Huang was alleged to be having an affair with a suspected Chinese spy, reports have now emerged with allegations of a second affair – this time with an Nvidia employee – and now the company's board is reportedly considering ousting its leader.
Huang issued a statement earlier this week admitting to an affair, saying, "I was unfaithful to my wife. My actions hurt her and our children. There is no excuse for what I did. I am deeply sorry." He also acknowledged the concerns that the person he cheated on his wife with could be a spy, saying: "Regarding the national security concerns raised in news reports, NVIDIA's Board of Directors has initiated an independent investigation. I support the investigation and will cooperate fully. I love our country and our company. I am committed to protecting NVIDIA and supporting America’s national security. I am proud and grateful to be an American."
However, per new reports, the situation may be even more complex than it first appeared. The New York Times claims that, according to five anonymous individuals who worked at Nvidia, Huang also had an affair with an executive at the company – vice president of healthcare Kimberly Powell. It's alleged that the pair's relationship had been discussed internally at Nvidia, and that they'd been seen being affectionate with each other during a conference in March. What's more, one bystander allegedly filmed this interaction, but was asked to sign a nondisclosure agreement.
