Nvidia Employees Demand Jensen Huang's Return After Resignation Over Infidelity and Espionage Scandal

lesnumeriques.com (French) —

Jensen Huang resigned as CEO of Nvidia on November 12, 2026, following a scandal involving infidelity and alleged ties to Chinese espionage, leaving employees demanding his reinstatement despite the controversy. Huang admitted to infidelity in a company email on November 8, including a relationship with Alice Huang, a Megaspeed executive suspected by US authorities of working for Chinese intelligence, though the accusation remains unproven. Witnesses described him as "broken and devastated," reportedly saying "I don't care" and calling himself a "piece of shit" during his final days. Over 1,600 internal comments, mostly favoring Huang's return, have been posted on a suggestion forum, with some employees publicly supporting him on LinkedIn. The board ousted him less than a week after opening an investigation, without awaiting its conclusions. CFO Colette Kress now serves as interim CEO.
