In the wake of his sudden departure, former Nvidia chief executive Jensen Huang is reportedly linked to a third intimate relationship with a company employee, according to an investigative report published by Reuters.
Citing two individuals with direct knowledge of the situation, the publication revealed the new disclosure just hours after Huang officially stepped down from his executive positions and exited the board of directors on Thursday.
Reuters refrained from publishing the identity of this third employee, noting that attempts to establish contact with her were unsuccessful.
This development expands the total number of alleged extramarital relationships to three, following earlier public disclosures involving Alice Huang and Kimberly Powell, Nvidia’s vice president of health care.
Regarding the first individual, US intelligence officials have expressed suspicions that Alice Huang might have ties to Chinese intelligence operations.
However, during a press conference on Thursday, US Attorney General Todd Blanche clarified that the Department of Justice has not yet reached a definitive conclusion regarding whether she acted as a spy for Beijing.
Blanche did, nonetheless, confirm that the Federal Bureau of Investigation is actively examining those reports, while the Chinese government has officially rejected the accusations.
The compounding controversies have taken an immediate toll on market confidence within the crypto and technology sectors.
According to Yahoo Finance figures, Nvidia stock plummeted more than 13 percent shortly after the opening bell on Thursday, changing hands at $151.00 by 2:31 p.m.
Industry observers have sharply debated the implications of these revelations.
Venture capitalist Haseeb Qureshi took to social media to push back against defenders of the co-founder, arguing that the accumulation of disclosures severely damages Huang's professional credibility.
Referencing an analogy about household pests, Qureshi posted on X that finding multiple instances suggests a much deeper issue, echoing growing sentiment that leadership integrity at the tech giant faces unprecedented scrutiny.
