Jensen Huang reportedly engaged a PR firm with a history of handling high-profile sex scandals a year ago

Wired reported that Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang hired crisis communications firm Heller Inc. at least a year before publicly acknowledging an extramarital affair with a woman suspected of spying for China. Heller Inc. founder Risa Heller has advised prominent men through personal scandals and sexual misconduct accusations, including former congressman Anthony Weiner, celebrity chef Mario Batali, and former New Yorker writer Jeffrey Toobin. Wired also reported that Nvidia's internal communications team was told to copy Heller Inc. on press inquiries about Huang shortly after an October 2025 New York Times report about whether Nvidia was helping Chinese companies evade U.S. chip export restrictions. The Times reported that Megaspeed, a Singapore-based data center company with ties to China, had acquired nearly $2 billion worth of Nvidia chips. It described Megaspeed CEO Alice Huang, the woman later linked to Jensen Huang, standing next to him at a Taipei gathering of Nvidia customers.
