Jensen Huang has been making headlines for the past few days for his illicit affair with Singapore-based Chinese businesswoman Alice Huang. While Alice shares Jensen’s surname, she has no connection to him. Due to this scandalous affair, Nvidia lost approximately USD 200 billion in market value this week.
Things escalated when reports surfaced claiming that, apart from Alice, Jensen had affairs with Kimberly Powell, an Nvidia vice president, and another unnamed Nvidia employee. This led Jensen to resign from his position at Nvidia. He was the CEO and co-founder of the company. While in public, he presented himself as a dignified businessman with humble beginnings; according to company insiders, his behavior behind closed doors was very different.
Jensen Huang reportedly threw tantrums at the office
The New York Post reported that Jensen Huang was known for throwing tantrums in the office. He allegedly behaved harshly towards employees, insulting and scolding them badly. On one occasion, he reportedly became so angry during a meeting that he threw a water bottle at a senior executive.
Jensen, a prominent figure in U.S. AI policy discussions with access to the White House, is known for wearing black leather jackets and giving friendly TV interviews. He founded Nvidia in 1993 along with two friends, Chris Malachowsky and Curtis Priem.
As Jensen Huang worked extremely hard to expand Nvidia’s business and make it more successful, his employees allegedly lived in fear of their boss. According to company insiders, Jensen frequently lost his temper during long meetings and verbally attacked or humiliated employees in front of their colleagues.
In February 2026, Jensen Huang held a private meeting attended by more than 30 senior Nvidia executives. Sources told The New York Post that during the meeting, he specifically focused his attention on Jay Puri, who was then Nvidia’s executive vice president of worldwide field operations. Jensen reportedly became extremely angry with Jay Puri and insulted him in front of more than 30 executives. He allegedly told him:
“I hope you get the flu and I hope it gets worse. I hope you die and put us all out of our misery.”
At the time, Jay Puri oversaw Nvidia’s sales and business development operations. Later, he moved to a different position as a senior adviser at Nvidia. One of the sources told The New York Post that when Jensen reportedly said those harsh words to Puri, everyone was shocked. The source said:
“It’s very typical for Jensen to yell at people, but when he said that specific thing to Jay, it was extremely tense and quiet. Everybody was a little bit shocked.”
The confrontation with Puri was reportedly not a single incident. Jensen allegedly had a history of behaving aggressively towards employees. He also followed an unusual management structure at Nvidia, where more than 60 of the company’s top executives reported directly to him. As per a source, Jensen’s angry outbursts were so widely known within Nvidia that some employees wondered why these incidents had not been made public before his recent controversy.
Back in 2025, during a three-hour meeting attended by approximately 40 employees, the ex-Nvidia CEO allegedly became angry with a senior sales executive. Jensen reportedly said, “You don’t know dick about my business.” Another incident was reported by The Wall Street Journal. During an August 2026 meeting, Jensen reportedly interrupted Colette Kress while she was giving a presentation. For the uninitiated, Kress is the interim CEO of Nvidia. Jensen reportedly interrupted Kress and called her “a deer in the headlights.”
