Nvidia Board of Directors Is Investigating Jensen Huang

Yeah, 50 years ago this was a big deal; nowadays... meh. There are tons of people who have survived this and even worse. The public has become inured to infidelity, but so have the media and the various industry gatekeepers (it’s not bad enough to get someone blacklisted or made persona non grata). Except Epstein... those involved with him probably won’t recover. So there are lines that cannot be crossed, but cheating is not one of them. Hell, even beloved Patrick Stewart cheated on both of his first two wives, admitted it in his memoir, and no one cared.

Maybe I’m old but it doesn’t seem that long ago that Clinton got impeached for infidelity.

He got impeached over Perjury and Obstruction of Justice. For the coverup (a crime), not "the crime" (not a crime).

> Clinton got impeached for infidelity.

This is just blatantly false.

He wasn't impeached for infidelity, he was impeached for lying under oath and obstruction of justice[0].

This is completely false and there are numerous public examples to pull from. If anything, it is worse now than it was in the past with how the mob can dogpile.

Case and point, caught at a coldplay? cheating? Both fired? Lives destroyed?

As for the actor, really? Totally dif industries and people do care. Execs make a company look bad and when actors do too, cheating or not, they also get smacked.

You may not care but most people do and if a tiny spark hits Patrick, his legacy will be destroyed. There are many actors that the public is well aware of how gross they are and are hated for it regardless of ability.

Patrick cheated twice and it amounted to a footnote in his obituary. no one cared.

What? Nobody involved with Epstein has gone to prison yet. One of them was even re-elected president. If I had to list the terrible things you could do when you're rich and not face consequences, trafficking and raping children would sadly be high up on the list.

reputational harm. You think Larry Summer's career will recover?
