Kristi Noem’s candid reaction to the revelation of her husband Byron Noem’s secret life has gone viral as social media users wonder how the DHS secretary could not have known about her husband’s secret life while leading the most important department of the Donald Trump administration. A representative for Kristi Noem said that Noem is devastated as the family was stunned by the revelations of Byrne’s crossdressing and is asking for prayers and privacy at this time. “Ms. Noem is devastated. The family is in shock and they ask for privacy and prayers at this time,” the statement said. The Daily Mail revealed that Kristi Noem’s husband crossdresses models and pays them online. The revelation caused a stir as the models discovered they had been chatting with the DHS Secretary’s husband. Security experts believe they could have blackmailed Noems, although Byrne told the Daily Mail that he never gave any sensitive information about his wife. The Daily Mail said they investigated whether the photos at the center of the scandal were fake or AI-generated. But their test came back negative, showing that they were not faking and even Byrne did not deny the fact that he crossdressed and participated in paid online chatting with the models.
Was this a vindictive leak?
As the revelation went viral at a time when Kristi Noem lost her department and rumors spread about her affair with Corey Lewandowski, an Axios reporter shed light on who might have caused the leak. Axios reporter Mark Caputo said he received the same information, but did not interview the accuser. Mark said, “She said that an immigrant sex worker, possibly in the country illegally, wanted to go public about Noem’s husband using her services online – this was retaliation against DHS’s immigration enforcement.” Conservative commentator Megyn Kelly mocked the revelations, saying: “I’m glad cricket won’t have to watch this”. Cricket was the dog that Kristi Noem killed because he had become unruly and dangerous. “The media wants to talk about the personal dramas and indiscretions of Brian and Kristi Noem. I want to talk about who is being deported, who is paid off, and who is stealing from taxpayers. Different priorities. Let’s focus on what matters,” commented Representative Nancy Mace.
