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

Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang engaged crisis communications firm Heller Inc. a year prior to officially admitting to an extramarital affair, according to a report by Wired. The PR agency, founded by Risa Heller, has a track record of managing high-profile sex scandals. Heller has advised several prominent individuals, including Anthony Weiner, Mario Batali, and Jeffrey Toobin, as detailed in a 2023 New York Magazine article.

The company's internal communications team was instructed to forward press inquiries about Huang to Heller Inc. following a New York Times report in October 2025 concerning Nvidia's potential involvement in assisting Chinese firms in bypassing U.S. chip export limitations. The Times also revealed that Megaspeed, a Singapore-based data center firm linked to China, had purchased approximately $2 billion worth of Nvidia chips.

This firm's CEO, Alice Huang, was photographed alongside Jensen Huang at a Taipei gathering involving Nvidia clients. Both Heller Inc. and Nvidia have yet to provide a response to inquiries. On Sunday, Nvidia released a statement from Huang acknowledging an affair with a former Megaspeed executive, though he did not specify Alice Huang's name.

Additionally, Nvidia's board announced an independent investigation following reports suggesting Huang had become a target of a foreign intelligence effort.
