In hundreds of messages reviewed by the Daily Mail, the 56-year-old is allegedly shown messaging sex workers who specialize in “bimbofication,” or a type of roleplay fetish that involves being turned into a stereotypical bimbo or Barbie dolls in some cases.

“Ms. Noem is devastated,” a spokesperson for Kristi Noem told The New York Post. “The family was blindsided by this, and they ask for privacy and prayers at the time.”

Aside from the kink, Kristi Noem could be mad about the infidelity aspect. Messaging other women about sex could be a violation of a monogamous relationship. However, I would bet that Kristi Noem is more mad about the cross-dressing.

Infidelity can also cause someone to lose US Government security clearance. This is because people who are engaged with infidelity are vulnerable to being blackmailed.

The story was originally published by Daily Mail, which is typically very reactionary. I chose to link Them Magazine (LGBTQ magazine) to avoid problematic opinions in the article.

i doubt she's mad at the infidelity part as she had a quite public affair as far as i remember

yeah, hard to imagine her thinking that being treated the way she treats others is unacceptable

Sure but her PR person who spoke with NYPost might be using the infidelity angle.
