Kristi Noem's husband entered a Christian 'sexual behavior' rehab in January: report

Source: The Independent

Saturday 11 April 2026 11:41 EDT


Kristi Noem’s husband entered a Christian “sexual behavior” rehab program earlier in January, prior to the bombshell revelations about his alleged “bimbofication” fetish and cross-dressing habits, according to a new report.

Bryon Noem enrolled in the 40-day program at “Pure Desire Ministries,” which brands itself as helping men “stop unwanted behaviors and restore broken relationships,” but did not complete it, according to right-wing commentator Megyn Kelly.

The former Fox News anchor revealed the news on her podcast, The Megyn Kelly Show, citing a woman who had exchanged text messages with Bryon. “I’m entering a therapy program. Much needed and much overdue. 40 days,” messages reportedly sent by Bryon on January 12 stated. Kelly said that the pair had struck up a conversation because of the woman’s own “large breasts.”

Details of Bryon Noem’s activities were first reported by The Daily Mail last month. The newspaper reported that he engaged in a “bimbofication” fetish and sent tens of thousands of dollars, along with photos of him seeking a “Barbie doll”-like appearance, to various female models online.

His outfit of choice made Dolly Parton look like she was sporting a training bra.

Who knows why people develop fetishes, but they do. As long as they don't hurt anyone, leave them be. But one of the issues with Mr. Noem was that he spent thousands of dollars indulging his fetish.

Embrace yourself and what you are/what you like. And your loved ones on the same terms. (as long as everyone is consenting adults, that is).

than Kristi's various acts of canicide, capricide, and casual cruelty to human beings on a daily basis, not to mention her performative cosplaying and Mierda-Lardofication of her face to try to make her boss like her.

She had people murdered, kidnapped, placed in torture camps, even children were subjected to this treatment.

She helped ruin the US government and our country in so many way I cannot list them all.

Her husband was probably happy she had a boyfriend and lived out of state.

... these KKKrishtun Nationalists are so quick to criticize and point out someone else's flaws.

They don’t read their Bible,..

When this one has a speck of sawdust in their eye,... and you have a log in yours. Attend to your own issues, problems, and imperfections before you cast judgement on others.

Don't do a white glove test on your neighbors house until yours is spotless, disinfected, and clean.

The message isn't about boobs,...

....it's about hypocritical and judgemental energies run rampant by family values extreme right-wingers.

Adultery is mentioned in the Ten Commandments,.. Kristi Noem obviously has not yet had time to read and/or digest them.

Rather than polishing Lewandowski's stick,.. Kristi should have spend the time in intensive marriage counseling to honor her oaths of matrimony and mend her relationship with her husband - who might feel abandoned or sexually deprived. Kristi's marriage seriously & unquestionably seems to need a reboot.

Does she have a Priest or a Pastor than she could consult ?

Maybe Jesus trDUMP could offer his pastoral services and unscramble that convoluted mess of the Noem's matrimony.
