Kristi Noem Looms In Background During Entire Episode Of ‘90 Day Fiancé’

WASHINGTON—Describing the secretary of homeland security’s cameo on the reality show as “highly unnerving,” viewers reported Friday that Kristi Noem can be seen looming in the background of an entire episode of TLC’s 90 Day Fiancé. Fans of the show confirmed the 53-year-old former governor of South Dakota is visible throughout season 11, episode 16, which is titled “Love On The Line” and features the DHS chief standing ominously, licking her lips, and growling just within view as couples navigate the K-1 visa process and decide whether to go ahead with their green-card marriages. Noem, whose presence is never acknowledged, wears a bulletproof vest, camouflage baseball hat, and heavy makeup in every scene of the episode, during which she watches silently as characters go on dates, have blowout fights, and even engage in sexual relations within their homes. Viewers said they were also unnerved during the ‘Tell All’ season finale, which reportedly features Noem as the host standing silently in a room of empty chairs.
