Kristi Noem “Devastated” by Reports of Her Husband’s Double Life as Cross-Dressing Fetishist

March has been a devastating month for Kristi Noem, from losing her position at the DHS to facing criticism over her conduct. Her personal life has now been upended following reports featuring images of her husband, Bryon Noem, who allegedly paid significant sums of money to women online as part of a secret double life.

The reports left Noem and her family devastated. Bryon Noem had also reportedly worn fake b****** and dressed in women's clothing.

According to an exclusive report from from The Daily Mail,, Bryon Noem paid $25,000 to adult entertainers and has been dressing up as a woman. The outlet stated it reviewed hundreds of messages and identified three women who assisted Noem with his "bimbofication."

Bryon Noem reportedly showered these women with compliments about their surgically enhanced bodies and "confessed his l*st for 'huge, huge ridiculous b****.'" He also made indiscreet comments about his marriage to Kristi Noem. Adding to the controversy, he shared inappropriate selfies with his online contacts.

In one image, Noem appears in a flesh-colored crop top and skintight pink shorts, with two balloons stuffed inside his top to mimic b******. Another photo shows him in green leggings and a stretched white top, similarly stuffed with balloons.

The report noted that Bryon Noem's "face is clearly visible in both images." With the photos now public, his double life has been fully exposed.

According to the New York Post, a source close to the former DHS chief said she is "devastated," adding that the family has been blindsided and is asking for "privacy and prayers at this time.

When contacted by The Daily Mail, Bryon Noem acknowledged that he had engaged in explicit conversations and shared images of himself dressed as a woman. When asked about comments he allegedly made regarding his wife and whether he had exposed information that could have left her vulnerable to blackmail, he replied, "Yeah, I made no comments like that, that would lead to that. I deny the second part of that," before ending the call.

Jack Barsky, a former Soviet spy turned US counterintelligence asset, spoke to the outlet about the blackmail risk, calling it a serious concern. CIA veteran Marc Polymeropoulos, with 26 years of service, agreed, stating, "Damaging information like this can be a tantalizing lead for a hostile intelligence service." He explained that scammers would approach a victim and pressure them into cooperation to keep their secret, calling it "espionage 101."
