"Kristi Noem's husband, Bryon, had an on-off secret online relationship with a left-wing dominatrix for more than nine years..."

"Bryon fantasized about 'leaving' Kristi for the woman he worshipped as his 'goddess' and discussed his desire to transition his gender through surgery and hormone therapy. Sotomayor – a 5ft sex worker known as Raelynn Riley with extra-large 2500cc breast implants – has shared dozens of phone recordings and online messages with the Daily Mail.... 'He needed to just talk and talk, and it felt more personal than I was comfortable with,' said the 30-year-old from Colorado Springs who says she made tens of thousands of dollars off the relationship.... 'F*** your family,' Sotomayor texted Bryon in November, later calling the whole Noem clan 'gross.' 'Love that,' he responded. 'Besides the fact of who your wife is, no one is prettier than me. No one is as powerful,' she continued. 'F***ing true. Do you want me to be a woman?' he wrote.... 'I need to be your trans bimbo slut,' he wrote Sotomayor...."

That's what it says in The Daily Mail.

Looks like that was an Unwise Latina to get involved with!

Whatever, our former Secretary of Homeland Security was a horny swinger with a bimbofied cuck at home. Who cares?

Praise Allah!

It wouldn’t matter how much I disliked a public person, I’d feel pretty filthy publishing a post like this. Did you feel dirty when you hit the key to post it, Althouse? Or is your sense of decency calibrated to tabloid reporter standards?

" 'He needed to just talk and talk, and it felt more personal than I was comfortable with,' said the 30-year-old [dominatrix] from Colorado Springs who says she made tens of thousands of dollars off the relationship."

It's interesting what her limits of feeling "comfortable" were.

Indeed! What ever happened to professional ethics?

2500 cc's? Not quite 3/4 of a gallon. More than respectable, especially on a five-foot woman, but not really 'extra-large' in sex-industry terms. Rather common. CC, JSM

Surprised he didn't end up in the Biden Administration.

Well clutch my pearls and grab 'em by the pussy.

The story is both salacious and newsworthy. The fact that it is salacious doesn't make it any less newsworthy. Talk about "snowflakes."

stunned said...

So she is married to someone who is mentally ill. There’s no shame in walking away from this.

Robert Marshall said...

I don't understand how Kristi Noem managed to conceal all this truly excess baggage, while politicking all the way to Governor of a small conservative state like SD. Or another way of looking at it: how could her opponents not have found all this out and figured out how to use it? Sounds like political malpractice on the part of the anti-Noem folks.

Of course, it's possible that SD is actually a modern-day Sodom and Gomorrah, and stuff like this is just normal. No idea! But it is very weird.

Really. If you can't trust your dominatrix who can you trust.

This is what NDA's are for. I got one drawn up before the leather went on.

Eva Marie said...

I don’t see anything wrong with posting this. Extremely sad for the family but it is news. Hunter Biden was news as well.

Achilles said...

Looks like Noem married someone out of political convenience and never had a real marital relationship to me.

She always seemed a little off.

Indefinitely Extended Excursion™️ said...

Whether it’s Kristi Noem getting Mar A Lago face or it’s Bryon Noem wearing enormous fake breasts, the Noems have emerged as unexpected practitioners of gender affirming interventions.

Big Mike loves it when Althouse is a dirty girl.

Rabel said...

WE needed a distraction from the Swalwell's exploding Zeppelin of a campaign.

Aggie said...

So this 5 ft Latina dominatrix, who has augmented her existing breasts with over a gallon of implants, but was so 'uncomfortable' with the phone talk that she couldn't bear to continue after more than 9 years and tens of thousands of dollars, poor lamb. But she did manage to put some content into distribution.

Somebody has put a lot of work into this one. But it also looks like somebody else's smoke detector is working reasonably well, too - so maybe the conflagration has been snuffed out before it could flare up. It won't be long before Progressives are whining that this is another distraction from Epstein.

Aught Severn said...

Question in my mind is, is this story true like the story about the assault at the high-school party in the early 80s was true, or is this true like the story about peeing on Russian escorts was true? I suppose a third option could be whether it is true like the story about the guy who was caught yanking it on a zoom meeting was true.

Can anyone please shed light on where this story falls on the veracity spectrum? Thanks in advance!

Dave64 said...

Doesn't sound like we have very good vetting systems in place and no investigative journalists either.

bagoh20 said...

What the hell is wrong with me? I just don't seem to fit in or even understand my own species anymore. Have we been taken over by extra-terrestrials, or is it me who landed here by mistake? I don't understand what these creature around me are all about.

Maynard said...

I am relieved to know that sexual perversion is at least somewhat bipartisan.

bagoh20 said...

At least the crazies in this administration are tangential rather than how Biden actually hired the crazy ones into the government.
What's telling is how the Biden supporters are now pretending crazy people are somehow unacceptable to them, or were they lying before. Not sure, but definitely lying is essential to them.

Joe Bar said...

Weirdos exist in every political section. Ho Hum.

Nobody does their job anymore, except the military and the astronauts, because their lives depend on it.

"...In 2026, Axios reporter Marc Caputo received a tip that an online sex worker wanted to go public about Bryon Noem engaging in bimbofication role play.[360] The Daily Mail reported that Bryon sent $25,000 to sex workers, telling them that he enjoyed "huge, huge ridiculous boobs". ...." From Wiki.

Yes, sad for the kids (3) and grandkids (4) and the likely end of whatever aspirations Noem might have had for higher elected office. But it's hard at this stage to get any realistic grasp of what their family life is truly like, to begin with. I doubt they're the Cleavers, or the Cartwrights.

narciso said...

in so far as she is no longer in office, why publicize it,
knowing marc caputo, from his south florida reporting, thats a rhetorical question,

Ambrose said...

No wonder Corey Lewandowski seemed a step up.

john mosby said...

If Kristi Noem were a D (I mean party, not cup size), she would be hailed as a brave survivor of her man's wiener issues. And/or we would be lectured about how dare we kink-shame him. The story would catapult her into the White House.

It seems like the R's, taking the Clintons as the new standard, have wised up about this stuff, e.g. not giving a rat's ass about Stormy Daniels or about the bro-conduct allegations against Hegseth and Kavanaugh. So this thing may not sink her career. CC, JSM

Sometimes I think that people in political life are a different species than I am. I have felt this IRL, and I once more feel this deeply. We get some OK folks in that set, but we get some that have lives beyond understanding for this mere mortal.

I can't stretch that far. It's not you, it's me.

Hassayamper said...

If this Noem fellow were a Democrat politician, the media would go to great lengths to keep this all hidden from the public, and if it somehow leaked out, we would get much harrumphing pontification from the Great and the Good about the boundaries of private life and its insignificance to the job one does as a so-called public servant.

But since it's the spouse of a Republican politician, a man who has never held or sought a government job or political office, all considerations of propriety and decency and privacy are totally ignored by the media swine.

Jimmy said...

Oh boy. Another of the so called ruling class, the elite, who is completely twisted.
All those strange people we knew in the 60s and 70s didn't go away, they went into politics it seems. And on both sides of the aisle.
I thought the democrats had a lock on that segment of fucked up people, but it seems republicans want to be included in perversionville as well.
That's ok. I've always felt that when the ball drops, as many republicans as democrats will be hanged.

The Vault Dweller said...

Kind of weird how this came out when it did right after Kristi Noem was fired. Sure I could see the sex worker being aware of who the man was and when she learned Kristi was being fired she tried to cash in on the info while it was still hot, so to speak. I think it is a common practice for British tabloids to pay for stories. But maybe Trump's team learned about this salacious story and we're aware or suspected that other people knew about it and didn't want it coming out closer to elections? Maybe that played a role in Noem being fired. They knew the Dems had the story and wanted to take care of the problem before it became a bigger issue. Then after she got fired the Dems went ahead and got the story released.

D.D. Driver said...

At least I am not a rightwing cliche like you, Peachy. Ya know: closet case bimbo.

She’s not a bimbo but you are definitely a dim bro.

You leftists all care about "pussy grabbing" language.. BUT you don't care about an innocent young Ukrainian women who was stabbed to death on a public transportation system in a DEMOCRATIC run blue city.

Leftists do not care that democrats LOVE crime and criminals - and that we all live in a more dangerous society because of democrats in power - who are all assholes.

LMFAO.

In a totally non-partisan way, of course.

I mean, why shouldn't we jeer, leer, and sneer at perverts who are stupid enough to do shit like this?

Lazarus said...

It might be nice to think that sex workers are people one could trust with one's deepest and darkest secrets, but they are people who take money for performing the most intimate, as well as most degrading, acts, so why wouldn't they sell your secrets for money?

Ampersand said...

Have men always been this messed up? Or is this some sort of response to the current environment?

William said...

As sex scandals go, it's more silly than sordid. Still, this puts finis to her career and his too......I wonder how people with these weird fetishes ever found each other before the internet. Maybe people aren't getting weirder. It's just that people have finally found a way to pair off with a complementary partner. But even with the internet he had to pay big bucks to indulge himself. I guess it's hard to find true love when you're a guy who like to wear massive boobs and be dominated by a woman with massive boob. I wonder if he ever confided in his wife or if she ever indulged him.

You need me to start domming you like Sotomayor? Defrade you? Call you my stupid little filthy slut? Would that turn you on? What's your deal with me? JFC. Weirdo. What is your endgame?

This shit is probably why she got plastic surgery in the first place.

There were so, so many posts about Hunter Biden, and people said some really vile allegations.

Big Mike had zero problems with all those posts. He has an Everest sized amount of hypocrisy. As usual.

narciso said...

This is her punishment for not acceding to the lockdowns

Not Illinois Resident said...

Well that's pretty progressive of the Noems, all in all. Their lifestyle matches the norms of NYT's Living section. Cross-dressing. Polyamory. Swinging. Open Marriage. Plastic surgery for personal vanity. Check, check, check. Surprised Biden Administration, or at least the desperate Kamala Harris campaign, didn't reach out for some good-time bipartisan photo-ops with the most progressive liberal SD couple.

Not Illinois Resident said...

Often run into a group of four strapping HS-aged trans women, all fit to be linebackers on their junior varsity team, shopping the lady clothes at Goodwill. It's obvious they need each others moral support for their excursions out in the world. Guess trans starts early, even in semi-rural Wisconsin.

Hunter Biden's laptop was real - Mark.

How is that vile?

What was vile - was the media(D) Soviet-like blackout of the facts.

Joe Biden(D) and his family are vile corrupt criminals - who used Ukraine for international US tax dollar money laundering to pad their bank accounts.

FACT.

As @bagoh20 came close to suggesting, the real difference is that if the Noems were Democrats, Mr. Noem's behavior would be seen as a job qualification.
