Bryon Noem told fetish model he wanted to marry her 5 days after wife ousted from DHS
Kristi Noem’s husband told an online fetish model that he wanted to marry her five days after his wife was ousted as Homeland Security Secretary, according to a report.
Nicole Raccagno—whose Instagram name is “plastictrophybimbo”— told the Daily Mail that the married insurance man said he was in love with her and had been sending her regular payments in exchange for videos since 2020.
Five days after Kristi Noem was fired by President Donald Trump, Bryon Noem allegedly told Raccagno on March 10, “I seem to be falling in love with you. I do love you,” according to the Mail.
In the messages he sent that day, he allegedly offered to send her money to enlarge her breasts and said, “You’re the one that I love. I would love to marry you.”
Bryon Noem’s online cross-dressing activity, where he was pictured wearing pink hot pants and a skin-toned spandex top stuffed with balloons to resemble breasts, was reported by the Mail last week.
“He gave me whatever I wanted – shoes, handbags, even bigger boobs,” Raccagno claimed. “He wanted me to be his ultimate bimbo bride.”
Raccagno, of Las Vegas, claimed Noem followed her on OnlyFans in 2020 under a pseudonym and it wasn’t until 2025 that she had worked out his true identity, according to the newspaper.
They had an “arrangement” where Raccagno, 47, would send Bryon Noem videos of a sexual nature for $1,500 a month.
Receipts of the payments from Bryon Noem obtained by the Mail correspond to a cell phone number listed on his insurance business website in South Dakota, according to the outlet.
On the day he sat behind his wife while she was grilled by lawmakers, Raccagno said she texted Bryon Noem, “’Are U OK I saw u on TV?”
He didn’t reply, according to the model, but got back in touch on March 10. Raccagno said she last heard from the father and husband on March 23.
He did not respond to questions from the Mail on the publication’s latest report and is yet to make an official statement.
Kristi Noem’s initial statement expressed shock, asking for “privacy and prayers.” But insiders told the newspaper that White House and Department of Homeland Security officials had been gossiping about Bryon Noem’s alleged fetishes for “months.”
“Everyone knew he had problems, especially her,” a White House insider told the Mail, referring to Kristi Noem. “It’s not a secret at all.”
The couple has been married for almost 34 years. They have three adult children and several grandchildren.
Residents of Castlewood, a tiny town that is part of the wider community of Watertown, who have known the Noems for decades, were in disbelief over the photographs but also expressed great sympathy for Bryon Noem.
“Must be A.I.,” cattle rancher Kevin Ruesink told The New York Times. “I grew up playing ball with Bryon,” he said with a hint of “suspicion and pity” after a reporter at the newspaper showed him the photographs of Bryon Noem. “I’ve never known him to be part of stuff like that. I don’t believe that at all.”
Other neighbors portrayed Bryon Noem as a supportive spouse who shied away from being in the limelight that his wife seemed to enjoy as Homeland Security Secretary.
