Jensen Huang, the CEO of Nvidia, has admitted to having an affair with Alice Huang, a former top executive at Singapore-based data centre Megaspeed and a woman suspected of spying for China. The US authorities have accused Ms Huang of alleged espionage, which has raised concerns about the nature of her relationship with the Nvidia chief.
On November 8, Mr Huang, 63, apologized for causing pain to his family and damaging the trust of those closest to him. He also announced that Nvidia would launch an independent investigation into the matter.
Since then, trolls on the internet have targeted Mr Huang's wife, Lori Mills-Huang, who he has been married to for over 40 years. The couple met during their first year at Oregon State University when both were only 17, and later married and had two children. Lori, 19 at the time, is the president of the Jen-Hsun and Lori Huang Foundation. The foundation has a net asset value of US$9.1 billion.
However, some online users have blamed Ms Mills-Huang for the scandal, sharing unflattering photos of her and mocking her appearance. This has angered many netizens, especially women, who argue that Ms Mills-Huang deserves better. They say that her age and appearance should not be used to justify Mr Huang's infidelity, as they believe he betrayed his family over a more attractive woman. Others emphasized that a lifetime of love, companionship, and shared experiences are far more valuable than physical beauty.
