Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem didn’t much like how she was portrayed in last week’s episode of South Park. Especially biting was the scene at the end in which Noem’s heavily made-up face falls off and runs away as if it were alive.

If she didn’t appreciate that, Noem probably won’t be too thrilled with an alternate credits sequence posted to the South Park social media accounts today. In it, the gun-toting DHS Secretary enters a pet store and, through frosted glass, is seen shooting the dogs therein. (The scene references Noem’s admission in her memoir that she killed her own family dog because she considered the pet “untrainable.”) The post calls it “the Paramount+ version of the end credits scene.”
Before last week’s episode — titled “Got a Nut” — aired, Noem condemned the portrayal after the South Park crew teased stills of the show.
“It never ends, but it’s so lazy, to make fun of women and how they look. Only the liberals and the extremists do that. If they wanted to criticize my job, go ahead and do that. But clearly they can’t. They pick something petty like that,” she said.
Likely in response, the profile pictures on the show’s social media accounts were later changed to show Noem’s melting face in animated form.
