Ex-Department of Homeland Security chief Kristi Noem’s husband, Bryon, has allegedly continued to participate in the cross-dressing community despite the very public scandal that has put the pair’s marriage in shambles.
According to the New York Post, Bryon Noem has allegedly engaged in continued action, supposedly sending a sexually charged text message to a sex worker more than a month after his “bimbofication” fetish was exposed to the public.

Shy Sotomayor, a dominatrix who allegedly had a secret, years-long online tryst with Bryon, claimed Bryon Noem reached out to her as recently as last month, during an appearance on the podcast “UNCLOSETED with Spencer Macnaughton.”
“I’ve been a really bad boy,” Bryon allegedly wrote in a May 17 text message, according to Sotomayor.
Sotomayor, who also goes by “Crystal,” told Macnaughton that Bryon subsequently reached out on WhatsApp, amid reports that he entered a sex rehab program to treat his bimbofication addiction.
“You obviously are very sick. You need help,” Sotomayor claims to have responded.
The sex worker followed up with a PayPal invoice for $4,500 that Bryon allegedly still owed her for her services.
“He either doesn’t know when to quit … or this is a real issue for him,” Sotomayor said, estimating that Bryon spent up to $45,000 on her over nine years, according to the report.
The latest bombshell about his bizarre double life was leaked nearly seven weeks after the Daily Mail published a story revealing Bryon’s alleged infatuation with OnlyFans models — along with embarrassing photos of him posing seductively with large prosthetic breasts.
Sotomayor also described Bryon as a “loose cannon” who was not fearful of the consequences of being caught.
“Any time I talked to him and was like, ‘Hey, you know, people could find us out,’ you know, because he was talking about meeting in person … He was like, ‘I don’t care,’” Sotomayor told Macnaughton.
“He just did not care about the consequences.”
Sotomayor also alleged that during a phone conversation she had with Bryon in January, she heard Kristi Noem confront her husband about whom he was speaking to.
“It was a normal conversation, and all I hear is, ‘Who are you talking to?’” Sotomayor recalled, suggesting that Kristi had walked in on Bryon.
“And I was just like, that’s a woman.”
A rep for Kristi Noem said in March that she was “devastated” and “blindsided” by the report of Bryon’s double life and actions.
Sotomayor’s full interview with Macnaughton is expected to be published by Uncloseted Media today, according to The Post.
