As I said, why would anyone have to succumb to blackmail over something like this today?
I would just say, ‘Go ahead; do your worst.’
(And you, again, are assuming the story is true and/or Noem knew about her husband’s proclivities.)
I assume nothing is true from any source until it’s confirmed. If I was okay with Kristi shooting her dog I’ll give her the benefit of the doubt on this. Unfortunately the Internet is forever and the truth will eventually come out.
