The rumor appeared as a post on X, claiming to show an official Nvidia statement in which Jensen denies the cheating allegations, contradicting his previous statement in which he admitted being unfaithful to his wife.
The alleged statement, dated November 11, is described in the heading as “NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang Denies Cheating Scandal.”
The statement read, “To Our Customers, Partners, Employees and the Public: I am writing today to strongly deny the recent allegations regarding my personal life, including claims of extramarital affairs. These reports are completely false, misleading, and deeply hurtful to me, my family, and the entire NVIDIA team.”
“I have always maintained the highest standards of integrity, professionalism and respect in both my personal and professional life. My focus has always been on advancing innovation, supporting our customers and creating a better future through technology.”
“I want to express my sincere appreciation to our customers, partners, employees and the global community for their continued trust and support. I ask for your understanding and patience as we move forward together, focused on what truly matters - innovation, progress, and a stronger, more connected world. Thank you for your continued trust in NVIDIA,” he wrote.
Fact Check: The statement is fabricated
However, the statement circulating online is fake and fabricated, as neither NVIDIA nor Huang issued it.
There are no official statements, announcements, or press releases from the company or its CEO that match the words in the statement, as confirmed by a look into Nvidia’s Newsroom.
If the statement were authentic, it would not go unreported by credible news and business outlets, making headlines. But a search on Google and other search engines for the claim yielded no such news reports, except for the social media posts sharing that claim.
Jensen Huang admits cheating his wife
After the allegation surfaced following a report by The New York Times, Huang issued a deeply personal apology to employees, acknowledging that he was unfaithful to his wife.
“I was unfaithful to my wife. My actions hurt her and our children. There is no excuse for what I did. I am deeply sorry," 63-year-old Huang wrote.
