President Donald Trump has reacted to Kristi Noem acknowledging her husband Byron’s cross-dressing history.
The president spoke to Daily Mail about the situation involving Noem’s husband on Mar. 31. “They confirmed it? Wow, well, I feel badly for the family if that’s the case, that’s too bad,” he said. “I haven’t seen anything. I don’t know anything about it. That’s too bad, but I just know nothing about it.”
The publication previously broke the story that Noem’s husband, Byron, was captured in various pictures wearing enormous, fake breasts to appeal to female members of an online fetish community dedicated to “bimbofication.”
In the pictures shared online, Byron is seen wearing a flesh-colored crop-top that’s tufted with huge balloons to look like breasts, along with wearing pink hotpants.
Along with the pictures, Byron was alleged to have sent women more than $25,000 via Cash App and PayPal.
When confronted by a woman on the platform who discovered who his wife was, Byron reportedly told her “he didn’t care.”
Noem released a statement to The New York Post about the situation, revealing that she’s “devastated.”
“The family was blindsided by this, and they ask for privacy and prayers at the time,” Noem’s representatives said.
Byron’s scandal comes weeks after President Trump announced that he was firing Noem from her role as Homeland Security Secretary. The president announced the news after Noem had two major flubs during testimony before Congress: the first, when she failed to deny an affair with a subordinate, and the second when she told Congress that President Trump approved $220 million in ads that featured herself (he later accused her of lying).
In an interview with Elysian in 2022, Noem said of her relationship with Byron, “We are such a transparent family,” along with adding that they’re “an open book.”
