Kristi Noem ‘devastated’ after report alleges husband lives cross-dressing double life

The report says he exchanged explicit messages with three models and paid them $25,000, raising blackmail concerns for the former homeland security chief.

  • On Tuesday, The Daily Mail reported that Bryon Noem, husband of former Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, engaged in a "bimbofication" fetish and sent money to online models.
  • Kristi Noem was fired from the Department of Homeland Security earlier this month after facing accusations of an affair with aide Corey Lewandowski, straining the couple's nearly 34-year marriage.
  • Neighbor Brad Johnson described Noem as a "supportive husband" who maintained family life, while another neighbor, Kevin Ruesink, dismissed the images as "A.I." in South Dakota.
  • Kristi Noem stated she was "devastated" and "the family was blindsided by this." President Trump remarked, "I feel badly for the family if that's the case, that's too bad."
  • National security experts expressed concern that Bryon Noem's activities could have made his wife vulnerable to blackmail by "hostile intelligence services," though he denied the notion.
