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

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang reportedly engaged Heller Inc., a crisis communications firm founded by Risa Heller that is known for managing high-profile sex scandals, at least a year before he publicly acknowledged an extramarital affair with a woman suspected of spying for China, according to Wired. Heller has advised figures such as Anthony Weiner, Mario Batali, and Jeffrey Toobin. Wired also reported that Nvidia's internal communications team was instructed to copy Heller Inc. on press inquiries about Huang shortly after an October 2025 New York Times report on whether Nvidia was helping Chinese companies evade U.S. chip export restrictions. That report described Megaspeed, a Singapore-based data center company with ties to China, acquiring nearly $2 billion worth of Nvidia chips, and its CEO Alice Huang standing next to Jensen Huang at a Taipei gathering of Nvidia customers. Heller and Nvidia did not immediately respond to requests for comment. On Sunday, Nvidia published a statement from Huang acknowledging an affair with a former Megaspeed executive, though he did not name Alice Huang, and the board announced an independent investigation citing reports that Huang "has been the target of a foreign intelligence effort."
