Andrew Huberman regularly talks about the science of love and relationships on his podcast, but it seems he didn’t listen to his own advice. As reported by New York magazine, Huberman was seeing a woman named Sarah, who thought they were exclusive. There were times she questioned his faithfulness to her and he would just brush off her concerns, making it seem like the other women were unhinged. Then, when a woman dubbed “Alex” started liking Sarah’s social media posts, they realized that Huberman had been seeing them at the same time. They eventually discovered that there were three other women he had been sleeping with as well, each claiming that Huberman made the others seem “crazy.” The investigative piece also revealed that Sarah discovered she had HPV despite being STI-free before dating Huberman (via the Independent). What’s worse is that she claimed to have undergone IVF treatment and was planning on having children with the scientist.
While Huberman has yet to respond publicly to the controversial claim, scientist Lex Fridman tweeted, “It’s heartbreaking to see a hit-piece written about my friend Andrew Huberman … I know him very well, and can definitively say that he is a great human being, scientist, and educator. Hit-piece attacks like this are simply trash click-bait journalism desperately clinging on to relevance.” Aside from the cheating scandal, Huberman has come under fire for his controversial medical advice and fellow scientists have called him out on his claims not backed by proof.
