Despite her firing in early March, Kristi Noem will continue to serve as part of US President Donald Trump's special envoy for the 'Shields of the Americas.' However, controversy may still follow the former Homeland Security chief due to the alleged double life that her husband, Byron Noem, is living.
The 56-year-old insurance executive is attracting unwanted attention for his alleged online activities under a different alias, Jason Jackson. This included bimbofication fetish activities which Byron Noem has vehemently denied.
Based on claims, Byron allegedly sent women he met at an online fetish community staggering amounts of money, amounts that reached at least $25,000 (£18,769) through apps because he admired over-the-top bust sizes and amazing curves.
In photos published by the Daily Mail, images showed Noem appearing to have stuffed two balloons inside his shirt to resemble breasts. He positioned the mimics to make them look like nipples.
However, it has yet to be confirmed if these photos are truly authentic.
Regardless, most feel that the exposé of Byron's alleged activities may have put his wife in a compromising position. There are suggestions that this issue may place Kristi Noem in a compromising position, leading to potential blackmail.
Kristi Noem Cries Foul
The former Homeland Security chief was unsurprisingly affected by the issue, stating that their family was blindsided by the issue. The Noems have requested privacy and prayers as they deal with the malicious allegations.
'Ms. Noem is devastated. The family was blindsided by this, and they ask for privacy and prayers at this time,' an unnamed Noem representative said to The Post.
When asked if he was aware of the controversy surrounding Noem, Trump appeared to be clueless about the issue at first. He questioned if all of it was confirmed and reiterated that he knows nothing about the exposé.
'They confirmed it? Wow, well, I feel badly for the family if that's the case, that's too bad,' Trump said. 'I haven't seen anything. I don't know anything about it. That's too bad, but I just know nothing about it,' he added.
Another Black Eye For Kristi Noem
After getting relieved on 5 March as head of the Department of Homeland Security, the issue involving her husband adds to the growing list of issues that Kristi Noem is facing. That included facing issues like DHS spending and several operational matters involving federal law-enforcement agencies.
There were also questions raised on her longstanding allegations concerning her relationship with a political adviser per a previous report here on IBT UK. Noem shot down those claims, branding allegations of her having sexual relations with Corey Lewandowski as 'tabloid garbage.'
A big thank you to Democratic House Rep. Sydney Kamlager-Dove for helping shove both Kristi Noem and Corey Lewandowski out of that taxpayer-funded jet.

Linking that alleged relationship with Lewandowski and the current Byron Noem fetish photo exposé, expect theories to continue. There were already questions raised on the state of Noem's marriage before this alleged bimbofication fetish bombshell.
Rumour-mongers are unlikely to stop feasting on the issue to get attention. There are others who could also join in, particularly those who were not happy with Kristi's time as Homeland Security chief.
