SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) — It’s a Silicon Valley fall from grace.
Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, under pressure over an affair with an alleged Chinese spy, may soon be out as the company’s head.
A new report said Nvidia’s board planned to meet Wednesday to discuss whether to remove him.
All this after a separate report on Wednesday afternoon alleged that Huang had another affair, this time with a subordinate.
These developments are coming as Huang already faces demands from Congress to answer for his behavior with the alleged spy, because of national security concerns.

The Wall Street Journal reported that Nvidia’s board is preparing to oust Jensen Huang and that it could happen as soon as Wednesday night.
This comes after the New York Times exposed Huang’s second alleged affair with a Nvidia executive who reports to him.
Five Nvidia employees told the New York Times the alleged second affair was with Kimberly Powell, the company’s vice president of healthcare.
The news surrounding Huang and the allegations has created an economic earthquake all week — with the markets responding — and Wednesday was no different.
Nvidia stock was up nearly 5% earlier in the day during the regular trading session.
