What Happened to Timmy Thick? He Was a Social Media Sensation

Curious about What Happened to Timmy Thick? He Was a Social Media Sensation? Discover expert perspectives in this breakdown.

On March 17, 2018, from a now-deleted account, Timmy tweeted out a pretty cryptic message. "Good evening," it said. "'timmythick' was a 24-month sociological study conducted by Harvard University. We are now complete with our study [sic]. Thank you for your time." Grammatical error aside, it was difficult to believe a study like this actually happened, and furthermore, it would never end with a tweet.

Three days after that tweet, Babe.net reached out to Professor Jason Beckfield, head of Harvard University's sociology department, who said via email, "There is no such Harvard study." Comedian Brandon Wardell alleged in a since-deleted tweet that Timmy Thick was actually the head writer of the Harvard Lampoon, the school's satirical magazine. Timmy has never come forward about either of these claims.

It's possible Timmy is currently doing what many folks on social media turn to in this gig economy: OnlyFans. A Twitter account bearing the name Timmy Thick and the handle @thejujubelaire is promoting an OnlyFans account with the same name. The Twitter account occasionally posts photos and videos which appear to be of Timmy. If the OnlyFans is a fake, it would be a difficult thing to pull off. Honestly, it's a natural progression for someone like Timmy who was so comfortable with their body.
