Kristi Noem Almost ‘Caught’ Husband Bryon on Phone With Sex Worker, Who Says She Was in ‘Fear’

After reports emerged that Kristi Noem‘s husband, Bryon Noem, allegedly engaged in kink behavior with a left-wing sex worker named Shy Sotomayor, she is revealing more details.

In the Tuesday, June 23, episode of UNCLOSETED, with Spencer Macnaughton, Sotomayor opens up about her alleged relationship with Bryon, 56, after bombshell reports from the Daily Mail went viral earlier this year.

During Sotomayor’s conversation with host Spencer Macnaughton, the sex worker discussed why she decided to go public with her alleged chats between herself and Bryon.

Sotomayor said that she felt the need to come forward amid the political unrest surrounding the deaths of Renée Nicole Good and Alex Pretti at the hands of law enforcement knowing that Bryon’s wife was in charge of Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) at the time.

“Having a Hispanic last name, even though I’m very white presenting, I still had a fear,” Sotomayor said, adding that she “didn’t know how much” Kristi knew of their alleged relationship.

“We were almost caught on the phone [by] Kristi,” Sotomayor claimed. “I was upstairs, just on the phone with Bryon, and it was a normal conversation, and all of [a sudden], I hear, ‘Who are you talking to?’ And I was just like, ‘That’s a woman.'”

Sotomayor said she asked Bryon, “Do you think she knows about us, and that’s why she has her little boyfriend?” (Sotomayor was referring to reports claiming that Kristi was having an extramarital affair with advisor Corey Lewandowski.)

“He’s like, ‘No, she doesn’t know.’ And I’m like, ‘OK,'” Sotomayor claimed.

Sotomayor said that she “stayed really low-key in my neighborhood” in Colorado at the time “because we had ICE in our neighborhood.”

“Thirty minutes north of me is a detention center,” Sotomayor said. “And that is something that I was just like: If [Kristi] has any inkling of who I am, what I look like — let alone my name or number — she can find me. She’s the head of ICE. And that’s another reason why I was like, ‘Oh, I don’t know if I want to come forward‘ because that’s really putting me in the limelight.”

However, Sotomayor said, “I was just like, ‘You know what, I feel like this needs to come forward for the hypocrisy.'”

The Mail previously reported that Bryon continued to communicate with the online model after she discovered late last year that he is the husband of the former U.S. secretary of homeland security, 54.

In an initial statement to the New York Post following the reports of Bryon’s alleged kink behavior, Kristi’s representatives said, “Ms. Noem is devastated. The family was blindsided by this, and they ask for privacy and prayers at the time.”
