Nvidia ex-CEO Jensen Huang misled lawyers about affair with Alice Huang, report says
Former Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang misled company leaders, including general counsel Tim Teter and Chief Marketing Officer Alison Wagonfeld, about his affair with Chinese businesswoman Alice Huang, according to internal correspondence reviewed by Reuters. Huang resigned on November 12, 2026, amid investigations into his relationship with Alice Huang, a former executive at Nvidia customer Megaspeed International whom U.S. intelligence suspects of spying for China. In October messages, Huang described their interactions as standard business dealings and discussed legal action against the New York Times, which was never filed. Nvidia's stock has dropped over 30% since October 6, erasing more than $1.8 trillion in market value. Colette Kress has been named interim CEO, and Huang has been asked to testify before the Senate Banking Committee over national security concerns.
