Megyn Kelly weighed in on the allegations surrounding Kristi Noem’s husband, warning the scandal carries implications far beyond its already lurid details.
“We begin today with an unbelievable report from the Daily Mail… it’s a bombshell in more ways than one,” Kelly said on Tuesday’s SiriusXM podcast “The Megyn Kelly Show.”
The conservative commentator was reacting to a report alleging that Noem’s husband, Bryon, engaged in secret online fetish activity that included cross-dressing and interacting with models.
Kelly argued the controversy isn’t just salacious — it raises serious concerns.
“It’s… relevant because… it makes her subject to blackmail,” she said.
“If the Daily Mail can find these pictures… so can our adversaries.”
The allegations claim Bryon Noem used a pseudonym to communicate with women in fetish communities, exchanging explicit messages and photos while dressed in women’s clothing.
Kelly described images allegedly showing him wearing “gigantic fake boobs” and tight outfits.
She said the reported behavior included paying online models and engaging in explicit exchanges.
According to the claims, he sent payments ranging from hundreds to thousands of dollars, totaling at least $25,000.
Kelly said the conduct goes beyond passive behavior.
“This is a form of cheating. There’s no question,” she said.
“He’s not just looking at photos. He’s interacting with the so-called bimbos…”
She also blasted the broader implications, calling the alleged conduct deeply disturbing.
“The lying, the deceit, the money… all of it is very dark and dirty and disgusting,” Kelly said.
Kelly noted that Bryon Noem did not deny key aspects of the report when contacted.
“He did not deny that it was him,” she said.
The former Fox News host also weighed in on the potential impact on Noem’s marriage.
“Like can you ladies…imagine if you found out your husband was doing this,” Kelly said.
Noem, through a representative, said she was “devastated” and that her family had been “blindsided,” while asking for privacy and prayers.
Kelly said the allegations overshadow earlier controversies involving Noem.
“But all of that is kind of nothing compared to what I’m about to tell you,” she said.
She also took aim at the broader culture that enables such behavior.
“Any kink you have can be indulged, including like this,” Kelly said.
Still, Kelly returned to what she described as the central issue — the potential vulnerability created by the allegations.
“Who knows who could go to Kristi Noem… and say you will do the following things or we will run… these photos,” she said.
