Kristi Noem and her husband Bryon, who has engaged in cross-dressing, reportedly had significant debts amounting to millions, which coincided with a lavish spending binge on controversial online models, according to financial disclosures.
The couple’s federal financial disclosure forms indicated they had between $2.6 million and $3.25 million in debt, much of which dates back to 2020. These forms were submitted last year by the former Secretary of Homeland Security.
Most of the loans—five out of six—were taken out by Bryon for businesses related to car washes and insurance. The only loans recorded as “joint” were home loans from 2020, valued between $100,001 and $250,000.
Recent reports highlighted that Bryon, a father of three, led a complex life while Kristi served in the Trump administration, spending significant amounts on extravagant items. Allegedly, he sent around $25,000 through digital payment services to a woman he encountered in a fetish community.
Another sex worker known as “Barbie” has presented receipts showing over $30,000 in payments from Bryon’s accounts dating back to early 2023. This woman, Nicole Lacagno, claims Bryon consistently provided her with a monthly allowance of $1,500 and gifted her high-end fashion items.
Furthermore, Bryon reportedly spent thousands on cosmetic enhancements for women he interacted with.
A webcam model named Lydia Love also recounted her interactions with Bryon, vividly remembering their chats and stating, “You can’t forget the fake boobs.” She noted that he engaged her services around 15 times over a span of 18 months to two years.
Meanwhile, Kristi expressed that her family was taken aback by her husband’s unusual behavior, and shortly before the news broke, President Trump had dismissed her from her prominent role at the Department of Homeland Security.
