Two days after Republican South Dakota Governor and woman jealous of the attention Katie Britt is getting Kristi Noem faces legal issues over a fawning five-minute infomercial she filmed for a Texas cosmetic dentistry firm and questions about the legality of the appearance, CNN reports.
Noem’s social media post for Smile Texas raises questions about whether she was compensated for it or if she received treatment from the clinic in exchange for the endorsement. A consumer advocacy group named Travelers United sued Noem claiming she made an “undisclosed advertisement,” something against state ethics laws.
“I love that my bite is better, that my teeth are a better shape, that they feel better in my mouth. I can be confident when I smile at people and know that they can actually appreciate and see the kindness in my face and the love that I have for them,” Noem said in the spot.
