Former Department of Homeland Security chief Kristi Noem is said to be ā€œdevastatedā€ by allegations that her husband, Bryon, lives a double life.

This double life includes dabbling in cross-dressing and chatting online with fetish models, the New York Post reported.

ā€œMs. Noem is devastated. The family was blindsided by this, and they ask for privacy and prayers at the time,ā€ Noem’s representatives told The Post.

The Daily MailĀ reported Bryon Noem talked to women from the so-called ā€œbimboficationā€ fetish scene, in which adult performers augment their breasts with massive amounts of saline in order to have a ā€œBarbie dollā€-like appearance.

Citing ā€œhundredsā€ of messages purportedly sent by three women, Noem’s husband praised their heavily augmented appearances and proclaimed he coveted ā€œhuge, huge ridiculous boobs,ā€ according to the Mail.

The Mail claimed a photo of Bryon Noem featured him wearing pink hot-pants and a flesh-colored, skin-tight suit.

The outlet spoke to national security experts who speculate his alleged proclivities could have left the former DHS secretary – who was fired last month – vulnerable to potential blackmail.
