'I'm a piece of sh*t': Jensen Huang reportedly said he doesn't care what happens to him, main concern is wife & women linked to him

Former Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, 63, has reportedly adopted a more resigned demeanour in the week since allegations about his extramarital affairs surfaced. Hours after he announced on Nov. 12 that he was resigning as president, chief executive officer and board member, it was reported that he allegedly had an affair with a third woman, reportedly an employee. The first was Alice Huang, a former executive at Singapore-based Megaspeed, who has also been described as an alleged Chinese spy. The second was Nvidia's healthcare vice president Kimberly Powell. The third woman was not named. "I don't care" Citing a person familiar with the matter, Bloomberg reported that Huang's demeanour had changed in the days following the allegations. He had allegedly started using phrases, such as "whatever" and "I don't care." People who have spoken with him in recent days described him as remorseful, adding that he had referred to himself as a "piece of sh*t". They said he claimed not to care what happens to himself, and that his main concern is his wife and ensuring that the lives of the women linked to him are not "ruined". Bloomberg reported that Huang could not be reached for comment. Timeline of events Questions about Huang's close relationship with Alice first emerged in a New York Times report in late October 2026. After the U.S. government launched a probe into Nvidia’s relationship with Huang, Huang admitted that he had been unfaithful to his wife in an email to Nvidia staff on Nov. 8. In it, Huang wrote that he owed his family and colleagues an apology. "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 added: "I take full responsibility for what I did and the hurt I caused, and I accept the criticism that comes with it." He also addressed his staff and colleagues, saying he had "fallen short" of his responsibility to serve them and be worthy of their trust. Two of Huang's children work for Nvidia. The affair allegation with Powell surfaced about three days later. Nvidia's executive vice president and chief financial officer Colette Kress will replace Huang on an interim basis following his departure from the company. She said: "Nvidia's strength has always come from its people, and together with our leadership team, I am committed to building on the extraordinary foundation Jensen created over the last 33 years." "We will continue advancing the work that has made Nvidia a leader in accelerated computing and AI, and execute on the opportunities ahead. Our focus remains on serving our customers, partners, developers and shareholders." Huang co-founded the chipmaker in 1993 and led it for over three decades, becoming the face of the AI arms race. He is married to Lori Mills, his college sweetheart and lab partner. The pair have two children together, both of whom work at Nvidia. Reports have indicated that Huang had no succession plans as CEO.
