Diane Warren has made her feelings clear regarding Kristi Noem after the announcement that President Donald Trump is replacing her as the Secretary of Homeland Security.
“Bye, bitch,” Warren, 69, posted on X this past Thursday, March 5.
Shortly after her initial cryptic remark, the renowned songwriter elaborated on her earlier statement.
“To clarify, the ‘bye bitch’ post was directed at puppy killer Barbie Kristi Noem,” she tweeted as a follow-up.
In a related turn of events, Whoopi Goldberg criticized South Dakota Governor Kristi Noem following the disturbing news that Noem was responsible for killing her own puppy. In an excerpt from Noem’s forthcoming memoir, she describes the incident where she shot her 14-month-old wirehaired pointer, Cricket, citing the dog’s ineffectiveness as a hunting dog. Goldberg, 68, did not hold back in her discussion of the shocking admission.
Warren was referring to the incident where Noem, 54, shot and killed her dog Cricket. In her 2024 memoir, No Going Back, Noem claimed Cricket was “untrainable” and became “dangerous to anyone she came in contact with.”
“I hated that dog,” she wrote, adding that Cricket was “like a trained assassin.”
Noem said that the decision to kill Cricket came after the dog attacked a local family’s chickens and bit her.
“It was not a pleasant job,” Noem wrote. “But it had to be done.”
In addition to being responsible for Cricket’s death, Noem confessed to killing a goat on her farm. According to Noem, the goat was “nasty and mean,” especially toward her children.
Noem has received backlash for her decision to kill animals over the years. The incident was also a running joke on South Park. Despite the backlash, the former South Dakota politician has defended her actions.
“Whether running the ranch or in politics, I have never passed on my responsibilities to anyone else to handle. Even if it’s hard and painful. I followed the law and was a responsible parent, dog owner and neighbor,” Noem wrote via X in April 2024. “The fact is, South Dakota law states that dogs who attack and kill livestock can be put down. Given that Cricket had shown aggressive behavior toward people by biting them, I decided what I did.”
Kesha has called President Donald Trump a “criminal predator” and condemned the White House’s use of her song “Blow” in a pro-war TikTok video. “It’s come to my attention that The White House has used one of my songs on TikTok to incite violence and threaten war [prior to the Iran conflict],” Kesha, 39, wrote […]
After Noem’s scandal, Trump appointed her as the United States Secretary of Homeland Security. During her time in the role, she was put in charge of securing the border. Noem was responsible for U.S. Immigration and Custom Enforcement (ICE) and the organization’s subsequent raids.
Earlier this week, Trump fired Noem and nominated Oklahoma Senator Markwayne Mullin as her replacement.
“She’s a fine person. She did a good job,” Trump told NBC News. “I’m a big fan of the senator from Oklahoma. It wasn’t a hard choice.”
Noem will now serve as Trump’s United States Special Envoy for the Shield of the Americas.
