Kimberly MacDell is the wife of Edward MacDell as well as the mother of Matthew MacDell and his two brothers and two sisters.
Biography[]
Kimberly is first introduced in "Cellsea" along with her husband, Edward and the rest of the MacDell Family. Kimberly helped her kids with arts and crafts and Matthew complimented her "dinner look" upon meeting her. It was made clear that Kimberly and Edward didn't know Matthew was gay as he wasn't out yet.
In "Obsessed", Jessi kept Kimberly and Edward distracted by having a conversation with them in the kitchen, while Matthew and Aiden made out in his bedroom, upstairs. Kimberly joked that Matthew had an older brother before he was murdered by Edward but then started awkwardly laughing, saying that it was all a joke and if Matthew really had a dead brother, there would be pictures of him everywhere. This joke made Jessi feel extremely uncomfortable.
In "Four Stories About Hand Stuff", whilst Matthew is having a shower, he left his phone on his bed. Kimberly ends up walking in with the laundry only to see that Matthew has got a boyfriend and seeing all the texts that they've sent with each other and Kimberly is very shocked and surprised.
In "The Funeral", she chose Brittany MacDell to do the baking for the Catholic Church bake-off. She then finds out that Matthew has been making cake pops with Aiden when they arrive at the church whilst she's talking with her friend, Paula, and just tells her that Aiden and Matthew are baking partners. She ends up leaving the church with Brittany and talk to Matthew about his sexuality. She admits that she's "old fashioned", and that because being a homosexual wasn't allowed back in the day, she doesn't support Matthew's choice because it's a sin towards her beliefs of Christianity. She understands about the eggplant emojis and how much Matthew wants to do the sex-related stuff. She then leaves with Brittany and saying that "Jesus is always watching."
In "Horrority House", Matthew had a drug induced nightmare about Kimberly and Aiden being suspended over some chainsaws. Jerome told him that he needed to choose which one he wanted to live. Matthew took too long to decide and they both were whittled down to severed heads that could still talk. It was at this point, Matthew realized this was a dream.
In "What Are You Gonna Do?", Matthew told Kimberly that he was going to have to start being openly gay at home but Kimberly warned him not to do so because of how his father might react. She warned him that his dad killed their Aunt Lydia after she deep fried their Thanksgiving turkey one year and then lied that she died of a brain tumor. Maury was sick of Kimberly repressing Matthew's sexuality and went into the kitchen himself to have a little talk with her but of course, she couldn't see or hear him so this was a completely meaningless interaction.

Personality[]
Kimberly is a very conservative and traditional woman, who lives the typical all-American lifestyle, which includes a fanatic devotion to Christianity. As such, she is very uncomfortable with her son being gay and has a lot of trouble accepting it. She finds his sexuality to be sinful and wrong and denies him actually being gay. She believes that deep down, her son is actually straight and that he's just confused at the moment and needs to take the time to get past these deviated feelings of depraved homosexuality so that he can live a normal and beautiful love life with a woman. However, she seems to have recently come around and become more accepting of her son's sexuality.
Kimberly is also riddled with fear and anxiety, when it comes to her husband, as she makes tons of unsettling and bizarre comments about him killing members of their family, although these comments are most likely completely fabricated. Kimberly claimed that Edward killed Matthew's older brother but then backpedaled on this and said she was just joking around, laughing loudly and uncomfortably. She later also threatened Matthew that if he told his father he was gay, he'd kill him, just like he did to Aunt Lydia for overcooking their turkey on Thanksgiving but again, this was likely just a lie meant to fearmonger, as Matthew was certain Lydia actually died of a brain tumor. This could either mean that Kimberly has a dark sense of humor or she's just a little bit delusional, having a weird tendency to make up stories about her husband killing people.
