What Megyn Kelly said about the controversy?

Kelly, when addressing the controversy on her podcast, suggested that the situation may be more complex than publicly acknowledged. Kelly speculated that Noem could have been aware of her husband’s alleged activities and even raised the possibility that details were leaked strategically to shape public perception.

Kelly said, “I’ve also read and heard a suspected theory that it was Kristi Noem who leaked it to engender sympathy for her because she took such a beating, getting fired, in part because of the Corey Lewandowski affair—allegedly, reportedly.”

Kelly also questioned Noem’s claim of being “blindsided,” pointing to reports suggesting that Bryon Noem’s behavior may have been known within political circles.

As she joked, she cited a report that said Bryon Noem's internet hobbies were a "open secret" at the White House. “They don’t name Trump as knowing, but there’s no way he didn’t know. If it was in the White House, he knew. Trump loves gossip,” Kelly said.

She further referenced a certain text between Bryon and another “big-breasted” lady, and said, “One of the text messages that came out between Bryon and one of the big-breasted ladies was something like, ‘I can’t leave or something.’ And it seemed more to me like it was a marriage of like, OK, she’s in politics.”

Kelly added, “So, he [Bryon] had kind of struck the deal, and she was going to be able to screw around with Corey or whomever, and he was going to be able to do this, and now she’s gotta act shocked.”

Background: Bryon Noem's messages and cross-dressing

According to the Daily Mail, Bryon Noem allegedly participated in online interactions involving exaggerated feminine personas and spent significant sums engaging with fetish models.

The husband of the former Department of Homeland Security Secretary has apparently been emailing sex workers who specialize in "bimbofication" and cross-dressing to transform him "into a girl."

The Daily Mail reported that Bryon Noem sent three prostitutes more than $25,000 and sent them a message saying he liked their "huge, huge ridiculous boobs."

He seemed to be wearing tight pink shorts and a peach crop top, with a large, improvised breastplate made of balloons, in one of the pictures Daily Mail shared.

A spokesperson for Kristi Noem has said the family is “devastated” by the revelations and has asked for privacy, while Bryon Noem has reportedly not denied aspects of the allegations.
