The rumor I heard is that it's all about the abuse allegations from his sister. I'd link to the Less Wrong post, but it borderline doxxes her so even though it's supportive, it's still out of line.

How many sisters does he have? If it's less than 10 just saying it's his sister will 'borderline dox her'.

The article I read had links to each of her social media accounts which is kind of crossing a line when talking about allegations of abuse.

Nope. You don't see the Chairman of the board/president and three senior researchers follow the CEO out of the CEO is being fired for sexual abuse.

Literally all of the actual leaks and reports coming out are that this was about a schism between the chief scientist and Altman.
