Kimberly Strubell Explained

Kimberly Strubell is an online identity originating from Facebook, created by Boston comedian Dicky J. Stock.[1] Stock had created Kim's lewd and often surreal personality in an effort to parody South Shore Bostonians.[2]

Influence

Kimberly has been used as a means to influence local Boston politics and culture, including the naming of a Massachusetts Transit Police dog, Mr. Spaghetti (which was ultimately declined by the Transit Police);[3] [4] the creation of a Boston mayoral campaign for her fictional ex Coast Guard husband, Leonard (Larry) Nabisco;[5] [6] and shining a spotlight on a local WCBV reporter Kim accused of partaking in Urophagia.[7] Her son, Kent, is also a major focal point in her vivacious posts, often citing his name and age.[8] The account was briefly taken down on December 29, 2016; but has since been resurrected.[9]

On February 19, 2017, Kimberly tweeted that she would be moving to Los Angeles in April with her family.[10] She eventually moved back to Boston by 2018.
