WASHINGTON, D.C.: A Fox News host had to clarify that a scandal involving Kristi Noem’s husband Bryon Noem was true and not an April Fool's Day joke. 

A Daily Mail investigative report published on Tuesday, March 31, alleged that Bryon leads a secret life, where he loves cross-dressing and enjoys chatting with several women on controversial online forums.

Will Cain calls Bryon Noem's scandal a 'literally unbelievable story'

On Wednesday, April 1, host Will Cain had a discussion with correspondent Kevin Corke regarding the scandal as Corke told Cain, “A sad story indeed, Will. Back to you.”



The conservative political analyst then added, “A literally unbelievable story, Kevin, and might be worth noting that even though this is April 1st, this is not a joke for April Fool's. What a story.”

To which, Corke said, “Not a joke. Yeah.”

Kristi Noem left devastated after the scandal broke out

After the scandal broke out, the Special Envoy for the Shield of the Americas’ spokesperson issued a statement on the Noem family’s behalf. They said, “Ms. Noem is devastated. The family was blindsided by this, and they ask for privacy and prayers at the time.”

Kristi and Bryon have been married for over 30 years and are parents to two daughters and a son — Kassidy, Kennedy, and Booker. The investigative report claimed that Bryon spent approximately $25,000 over chatting and even told the women online about his wife’s alleged affair with Corey Lewandowski.

“I know. There's nothing I can do about it,” he allegedly claimed.

Laura Loomer claims Kristi Noem was not 'blindsided' by her husband

Amid this, President Donald Trump also reacted to the news as he stated, “They confirmed it? Wow, well, I feel badly for the family if that's the case, that's too bad. I haven't seen anything. I don't know anything about it. That's too bad, but I just know nothing about it.”

But as per conspiracy theorist Laura Loomer, Bryon allegedly living a double life was not something new for his former DHS secretary wife.



“Kristi Noem said her family is blindsided by revelations her husband is a cross dresser and g*y. That isn’t true. She knew all about her husband which is why she lives with Corey Lewandowski in the DC area,” she shared on X.

Loomer further added that “it was their arrangement.” She further shared, “Literally everyone in the admin has known this forever. I’m shocked it didn’t come out earlier,” but also sympathized with Lewandowski’s wife Alison, who was earlier married to “a firefighter who was killed on 9/11.”
