Bryon Noem allegedly sent a dominatrix the message 'I've been a really bad boy' in mid‑May, weeks after reports first exposed his supposed double life and cross‑dressing roleplay, according to her account on a podcast. Shy Sotomayor, who spoke on UNCLOSETED with Spencer Macnaughton, claims the public scandal did not stop him contacting her and says he still owes her thousands of dollars.
The alleged message has reignited scrutiny of the husband of former US Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem, whose private life became headline news earlier this year following reports that he participated in online feminisation and cross‑dressing roleplay. Sotomayor claims she maintained contact with Bryon for nine years and that he spent between $35,000 and $45,000 on her services during that time.
